Gonna try and get in touch with siouxsie and see if he/she can do us a copy. I'll point this site out to him/her too.

yeah , i've got this approach to work before. presumably this guy/girl is a hardcore siouxsie fan , between all of us we can probably cobble up something to trade that might get us a copy?

not surprised at the price though , this must be a pretty rare thing....

Maybe a gig ticket form ireland that was kept after the show was cancled.

Not many of these around as they were all returned for refund.

Hi people

Read this thread with interest. Can somebody tell me what the original item for sale on ebay was please as its obviously gone now?

The reason I ask is I have a Stranglers Target Video (1978 San Francisco One) and on the end is a load of short other clips from other bands (more Target Videos available ect) including the UK Decay "For My Country" clip. Its only about 25 seconds or so.

I am assuming, with this in mind, that there is a FULL Target Video/DVD knocking about featuring UK Decay. Can anyone shed any light on this. I'd pay very good money for it if it existed even if it was just on VHS (as I can convert to DVD no problem)

I can get the For My Country clip up on here if anyone wants it.

Cheers

Mike

"for my country" appears on a target video compilation (just the one track). i put this on a dvd and it was shown at the 2007 reunion. abbo was in attendance and he said he had seen the film of the whole DK gig. however it wasn't ever released , so i guess it's in someone's archive somewhere. be a magnificent thing to see.

i did a VHS to DVD copy , but as it was a US video (NSTC) it wasn't perfect quality , it had some distortion running along the bottom of the screen (that wasn't visible when you just watched the video). i mucked around for ages but couldn't get rid of this interference. if you know how to do this i'd love to know.

that daewoo looks useful. i have a dvd burner and a VHS video i link up with SCART leads. using this i can make a really good DVD off a PAL video. however if i use an NSTC (USA spec) video it plays fine thru the VHS but you can't get a "clean" dvd out of it. i tried this round a friends house (who has a similar kind of set up) and we just got the same interference effect. maybe the Daewoo gets around this , if so thats a good bonus.

the target compilation uk dk are on is pretty good , also has siouxsie and young marble giants. i've seen it come up twice on ebay in maybe 5 years so this is dead rare , i think its called "underground volume 3" but i'm not at home now so can't check that for sure.

It might be worth trying the John Peel list on Yahoo! They keep digging up lost audio and video recordings, etc

Hi again folks

Just thought I'd tip off those that are interested. Underground Forces 2 with UK Decay on it is has been put on the Punk Torrents side. Its ripped from VHS to DVD 3.75 gig (big file) Quality is not fantastic but if you want this video then I doubt it would bother you too much.

I downloaded it myself and stuck the full UK Decay clip on youtube

I had to rip the dvd to avi and split it to get in to there and it was a pain in the arse to put it bluntly. I haven't got a dvd burner on the computer but if anyone wants the complete video on avi or just the uk decay clip give us a shout and I'll upload it here for you (if thats allowed)

Cheers
