Well unless you like on-screen logos, scrolly text, jaunty camera angles and "edgy" production values.

And everyone will need to see the disappointment at 4-5 times higher quality images for close-ups in the British team as they lose at every event, plus the look of joy in the faces of Seb Coe and Kelly Holmes as they turn up long past their prime for no apparent reason. That's because the Olympic committee insists on including events the British are not especially good at. Now if they were to include sports such as binge-drinking, text messaging, scratchcard revealing and sucking up to Rupert Murdoch, I'm sure the British would win every gold medal going :o) Nice one :) They could also include special events for the local councils, such as which councils can speedily drop a bin collection each week so they only collect fortnightly and then wonder why the frequency of fly-tipping has suddenly shot up(!) -- Dom Robinson Gamertag: DVDfever email: dom at dvdfever dot co dot uk /* http://DVDfever.co.uk (editor) /* 1132 DVDs, 347 games, 314 CDs, 110 cinema films, 42 concerts, videos & news /* antibodies, steve hillage, burning crusade, sega psp, norah jones, kylie New music charts - http://dvdfever.co.uk/music.shtml Youtube - http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=DVDfeverDom |

I do possess a single-sided 10 inch 78 recording of Caruso singing La Donna e Mobile. Correction; 80RPM. Must have been recorded before the 78 standard. -- Graham. %Profound_observation% |

Very rare 78 from 1960, which was the last year for 78 production in the uk. Carried on in S. Africa up to around 1964 and in India to around '67/'68. These were still shellac though. Tiny Tim bizarrely released a ten-inch 78 in 1970. Even more bizarrely, it comprised jingoistic UK war songs. It was vinyl, and I'm fairly sure it was microgroove rather than coarsegroove (but with a coarse pitch and so looked rather like a 12-in 45rpm 'remix' single). Surely that was "Tiptoe through the Tulips"? -- Max Demian |

And if you're lucky enough to find one in very good condition, they sound fantastic too. Better than the 45 equivalent. Marky P |
