The store was redeveloped by Asda but the other four 1970's Carrefour stores still exist as Asda. The store was a pilot for a planned UK expansion which never happened. The french Carrefour group didn't actually own them - a UK company licenced the name and concept. The store was ahead of it's ti...

Great to see this, and to see what was ommitted from the official video - which seems to be most of the concert. The whole concert released on DVD / BluRay is needed to replace the lame video which captured none of the atmosphere.

I hope they save this place. Was really pissed that they demolished the gigantic CWS mill - you can make out where it used to be - just a vacant patch now. To me it looked like a really gloomy and creepy building and I was fascinated about what actually went on in there. I read that it was in the...

It's interesting to see inside these places - a shame though that it's neighbour, the gigantic CWS mill was demolished - would definately have wanted to take a look inside that place - if ever a building was designed to look sinister and gloomy. Sadly I reckon Millenium Mills will also bite the d...

It's located on a David Vorhaus compilation called Mind Games and the track runs to 2 minutes and 46 seconds. It changes a bit in the middle part but overall sounds just like you hear in the ad. For many years I thought the music was performed by some French synth group such as Space or Space Art...

What went on at the end was I believe that a set delay or offset started to go awry causing the backing track and visuals to go out of sync and the band having to improvise to this - the static type noise is a click track which somehow got amplified. A relative of mine saw a later show and they h...

My uncle had a beige and brown vinyl roof model. You could here it coming a mile away as that pushrod engine had a very loud clatter. The beige gradually matched the roof colour due to corrosion. The narrator may be the ' winnebago man ' with a fake english accent - hence the expletive beeps.

The laser harp is a real instrument now but in the 80's it was just a prop - the only real element was the elka synthex that provided the sound, however there is a foot switch that not only turns it on but changes the octave - maybe he caught the switch by accident. It was wonky in birmingham but...

Sorry, was mistaken - the backup synth / vocals girl is not Maggie Philbin or my primary school teacher but Amanda Parsons. Looks like she's behind an Oberheim OBX or OBXa synthesizer, but probably have got that wrong also.

These home videos ( I am sure there used to be more on Youtube ) capture all the tracks that weren't on the video. The video gives the impression that the concert was only 50 minutes long. It would be great if he did it again - he now performs the music live - it was mostly tape playback during t...

There should be a new rule that every performer who appears on the Eurovision Song Contest must incorporate a Moog synthesizer in their act, out of respect for Telex.

At 11.00 you here a similar tune that David Vorhaus produced but I don't know what it's called. It was used in the mid 80's for the Andrex puppy advert and you here it occasionly on TV.

I last saw this as an 8 year old in 1981 and was very confused. I've just watched it as a 38 year old and stillI am confused. Wasn't Top of the Pops great back then...

Now I've seen how Tomita creates that type of sound - his use of the Moog was incredible. It's a shame he didn't feature in the Moog movie - I wonder if he and Robert Moog ever met ?

Any ideas on how many miles this old girl has covered ? I've read that the original twin 4-71's were installed side by side but just can't visualise how they would drive thru a single transmission. Did the one motor run in reverse direction and with drive shafts off the flywheels going into a sin...
