I'm all for the director being a fan of the EBB hypothesis. Goodness it was a stroll down memory lane; Birmingham Corporation buses - long haired youth c.1972 waiting on the 11 outer circle I believe, obvious shots of Gravelly Hill interchange inc Salford Park. All those drop forging tools reminded me of Pilkington the Glass manufacturer unwisely setting up a large facility in Electric Avenue, Aston near one. The signing of Black Sabbath was a happy accident for Philips, as Olav Wyper the man who set up Vertigo happened to be in Birmingham for other business. He said when he turned up at Henry's blues house, when Black Sabbaths time came the place filled up as if by magic. He signed them later on in Hurst St I think. I must say I really missed Tommy Vance, as Malcolm Dome and the other creature were particularly unattractive commentators. Rob Halford in the later whistle test appearance looked like a very tall awkward girl at a dance. I was really pleased to see Burke Shelley after all these years.
