Fopp Bargains!

[Oscar Deutsch]

Alas, no real online presence, but I reckon there are enough of them around that they should warrant their own thread.

So I'll start:

Spotted in the Glasgow Union Street Fopp yesterday, the Coffin Joe boxset for a tenner.

Michty! doesnt the UK 1 contain cut prints though?

I remember a debate which I thought was on here somewhere, but can't find now - but it was over the quality of the transfers, rather than cuts - certainly, the BBFC didn't cut them.

True, they're not great transfers and the subtitling is a bit rubbish, but from what I watched of them, it kinda suited the films to be a bit battered and uncared for! I'm not complaining at that price, think I paid 18 quid for my set and considered it a bit of a billy bargain at the time.

I see it's even cheaper on Amazon, a mere £9.69.

Huge chunk of Woody Allen back catalogue currently going for 3 quid apiece in Fopp at the moment, took the opportunity to stock up on titles I was missing or only had R1 versions of - Stardust Memories, Zelig, Radio Days, Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy, Crimes and Misdemeanor's - loads of others too.

nice. mate was texting me about stuff in the Edinburgh one he was in, that 3disc LHOTL for £3? those Nick Cave cd/dvd reissues for £6/7?

[Oscar Deutsch]

Yeah, I saw some LHOTL boxes for that price last week, didn't see any yesterday though - might find them hidden away in the horror section.

More new stuff at bargain prices yesterday, lots of Optimum stuff. I picked up Tavernier's L.627 and John G. Avildsen's Joe for three quid each - spotted loads of other stuff like Bronson's Cold Sweat and the (sadly cut) Optimum version of Emanuelle in Bangkok. Going down for another wander at lunchtime today to see what I missed.

Picked up a pile of older Wim Wenders films on the Axiom label for three quid each today - some of which have extras. Titles I got were The State of Things, Wrong Move, Lisbon Story, Land of Plenty and Notebook on Cities and Clothes.
