Never seen this before.

Wasn't aware it was part of the 2014 reissue package. Must dig it out of storage and make sure it is actually there as I don't remember seeing it at the time.

Lovely. I've had a soft spot for that album since it came out and Jarman's film is nice evocative of the times. She had moved on from the also beautifully shot "The Girl on a Motorcycle".

Must have been a couple of years after Jubilee (still can't shake the image of a boyish Toyah Wilcox helping suffocate Adam Ant with a PVC body sheet). That whole scene around Jarman at the time seems like it must have been a blast. I guess Faithful kept abreast of the London underground after Girl on a Motorcycle (how in the hell did that movie spawn from the mind of David Lean's soft-spoken, charming cinematographer?). That montage kind of reminds me a bit of the city art happenings in the first half of Throw Away The Books, Let's Rally in the Streets. It's always inspiring to me seeing heads like that trying to remedy the total anomie cities can inspire you with if you're not careful. I wish I got to be part of a Jarman happening, but the closest I ever got to that was visiting my folks who were juggling in a scene in that Jarman movie with Quentin Crisp as Queen Elizabeth. 'course they got cut out.

Remember seeing this on the big(ish) screen back in the day at the Triangle, Aston Uni. It was on a bill with the Bunnymen's 'Shine So Hard' film plus footage of Mac & Co. playing in the streets of Florence.

Used to go there - and the MAC in Cannon Hill - regularly. Saw some extraordinary movies.

No doubt it was followed by a few cider & blacks over at the Sack'o'potatoes....
