2008-2010 Information
------------------------------
Hello there !
How are you all?, to all people, we know there was an Marc and the Mambas concert and a Gloomy Sunday video directed by Peter Martin Christopherson, a.k.a. "Sleazy" founding member of Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV, and Coil. Also former director of music videos, TV commercials, documentaries, and many other stuff
The unreleased Marc and the Mambas LIVE video at one of the "Three Black Nights of Little Black Bites" concert was planned to be released on VHS back in 1984, but has never seen the light of surfacing, only Marc Almond have input over his release, we been spoking with Sleazy about the tapes, and he said that since he moved to Thailand the archives of his old tapes are in a storage, which likely he said he has the original tapes of the Mambas concert, and the Gloomy Sunday video., and doesn't know if there is machinery around anymore that the tapes can be converted to a current playable format.
His memory of the show was when he was filming from stage left which he later discovered it was Marc Almond's least favourite angle of himself, so he thought Marc wasn't keen on the video being used at the time.
If Marc Almond writes to him himself directly (or his manager Mark Langthorne), and if the tapes have non disintegrated, it might be possible to recover them.
We support Marc Almond's solo career and future projects, and we know Marc Almond would rather think about future ideas than waste his time on the past.
The concert (from one of the "Three Black Nights of Little Black Bites" concerts) was supposed to be released in VHS back in 1984, but it was never released,. The VHS released is mentioned in a Cellmates newsletter from 1983.
Please we invite you all to leave some feedback about it at our space and if possible directly on Marc Almond Official Myspace, we would be uploading the whole bootleg to support the release of this concert on an digital format, just leave your comments, thoughts and most important your support.
And the Gloomy Sunday video is mentioned in the a Little Black Evening programme, but it wasn't released too. Or at least we don't know anybody who has a copy of it.
Well, Sleazy said he had a copy of these recordings, and he said he would do the movements to recover this tapes if Marc Almond would agree with their release now or in a future.
Please support us on this petition as we would LOVE to this great concert to be released to be AN EXCELLENT COMPANY to the new reissues of "UNTITLED" and "TORMENT AND TOREROS".
The albums are being available again and you wouldn't have to pay for them at a highly exagerated price at ebay from sellers.
We know about the relationship of Marc Almond with Some Bizzare about his older music catalogue, and we would love that if this unreleased concert and music video surfaces to the public. It would be great to have this released in most fairness possible to the author.. in this case MARC ALMOND
Thanks a lot and please take care and most important...
POST YOUR COMMENTS, IDEAS AND SUGGESTIONS ARE ALL WELCOME.

9.Is the video of "Marc and the Mambas" playing at the Duke Of York going to be released? If so, when?
Yes, it is going to be released, it's taking time to sort out but we hope to release it either around Christmas or in January. The video is 2 hours long and will retail as cheap as possible - although the sound quality is not too good.
-----------------------------
The track "Caroline Says" was released on a small-time VHS titled "TV Wipe Out", "The Animal In You" and "My Former Self" was shown at the first Marc Almond convention in 1984. Weather or not the DVD would be released by Some Bizzare, or the theater label of Marc Almond's (That also released the "Raoul and the Ruined - Bite Black and Blues concert on CD.) It would be great to see this concert surface to DVD, as it surely has been kept away from the fans far too long...
