For some reason SG #75 combined the Video and Merchandise sections into one:
I don't recall when MPI rereleased the 25th Anniversary with footage of a Frid Q&A replacing his one man show footage. Though while it was nice to get the rest of the compilation on DVD with the Q&A, replacing the one man show footage was a mostly useless endeavor. As I already said, people who wanted to own the original release already did, which means they had Frid's one man show footage. Replacing it was mostly like fixing the gate after the horses had already escaped from the corral...
Hmm - the '96 LA Fest was going to be in June. MPI said the DS RESURRECTED VHS would come out in July. Or perhaps MPI meant it would become available in July to the general public. I suppose we'll see...
I haven't played the 30th Anniversary CD in ages - I wonder if the version of "Joanna" on it is different from the versions on the movies soundtrack? I should check that out one day...
And speaking of the HOUSE OF DS/NIGHT OF DS SOUNDTRACK, that track list is incorrect. For example, there are no "Daphne's Room" or "Party Music" tracks in the hoDS section or "Alex At The Greenhouse" or "Trouble In The Tower" or "Quentin's Theme (Chimes) (unreleased)" or "Quentin's Theme (Turmoil) (unreleased)" or "Quentin's Theme (Saxophone) (unreleased)" or "Love Theme From Night Of Dark Shadows (Piano) (unreleased)" tracks in the NoDS section. However, in the NoDS section there
is a track called "Quentin And Tracy (Love Theme From
Night Of Dark Shadows)" between "Tracy Investigates The Tower Room" and "Angelique's Assault". Though, also missing from this CD is the track "House Of Dark Shadows Radio Spots," but that track actually appears on the 30th Anniversary CD...
It's really interesting that more than two years after the Innovation comics ended, SG is still hawking Glass House Graphics as the place to buy copies of the artwork...
And it's fascinating that the Abbelare watches deal is still going on in SG #75 from February of 1996 despite how it was supposed to last a limited time, ending back on October 31st of 1995. And even more fascinating is that the price for both watches has dropped from $38.45 to $34.45...
