I have the one with the blue cover in the snap case and mine doesn't have this, though the VHS of it I used to have of it (first PAL white cover, then NTSC firey kind of color) didn't have it either but I got the John Mayall DVD doc which has the TP film as an extra anyways, so I'm happy.

Thank you very much everybody for the information. I will try out some of your suggestions.

I didn't know that there was a John Mayall DVD around. Great! I have just bought tickets to go and see him and The Bluesbreakers here in Copenhagen in july. Just wish PG would swim over from Sweden for the occation If he still lives there that is...

Excuse me Wetcamelfood - what is a TP film?

Sorry Moose, TP was for the 1969 "Turning Point" Mayall film which Peter & John (McVie) appear in which is an extra feature on the Mayall DVD doc, which I found on region 2 (or well, "all regions") for you here:

Guess I thought since someone mentioned it earlier in this thread it'd be known but I know I have to stop being lazy and type this stuff out.

Thank you very much. This site is a goldmine of information! I have ordered a copy of TP right away.

Hope that helps!

Yes, this sentiment comes up quite often here and on the PG site. It is so frustrating to know that there most be tapes in abundance (or maybe I am just dreaming) laying around in the vaults of all kinds of obscure television channels in Europe and the US.

But you are right John we must enjoy what we have, and go when something new comes up - like when "The Surprise Party" from France 1968came up on YouTube last year.

I ordered my copy of "John Mayall - The Godfather of British Blues" right away (thank you for the link, John).

"Turning Point" is a great film to watch - it is like a time machine - it transports you right back to another time and place - where playing music - in itself - was ok and no one worried about smoking or which hair-care product to use.

I wish that the interview on Mayall's influence could have been much longer and hope that all the "cut-off's" didn't end up in some waste paper basket!
A thing that strikes me about Peter Green (in TP) is that he does not seem so very much different in the way he came across then compared to the way he talks now - as seen on the "Man of the World" DVD for instance. It surprised me because you often get the idea that his illness changed him COMPLETELY.

I think the striped T-shirt is the same on he is wearing on

They certainly weren't sponsered by Cucci in those days

P.S. Does anyone here know how to become an "Addicted Ledgie"? Sounds intrigueing.

Like posting in any thread or do one get more points when starting a thread?

In any case I will have to get busy and creative to reach the 1.000 or more postings it takes to become an addicted ledgie (or so it seems)!
