    I was hoping they'd be releasing one of showbusiness that included the 1961 release For The Record, which was all about Helen Shapiro recording Walkin' Back To Happiness at EMI's Abbey Road Studios. But it looks like I'll have a long wait for that. However, the fact that they're going to release volume 2 must mean that volume 1 sold very well. So maybe one day there'll be a volume 3 that includes the Helen Shapiro one.

    Volume 2 isn't on the Network site yet but when it is it should have a full listing as per Volume 1 attached

    IMDb.com list over 250 of these shorts but they aren't grouped together. You would have to search under Look at Life and then go to any of the titles that interest you. Such as Look at Life: A Fair Cop (1966) - IMDb

    However, there is not much info on any title yet. Hopefully this will change as more stuff gets released by Network.

    Thanks for the info dpgmel, I think I'll treat myself to that one also, I'm currently enjoying volume one, the quality of the actual films is one of the highest I've ever seen, must have been redigitalised or whatever they do these days to make a picture crystal clear.

    We used some of the Abbey Road Helen Shapiro footage in an ''Omnibus - Memories of a Musical Dog" made to celebrate 100 years of the recording history in Britain.

    Funnily enough I have a photo of Helen Shapiro (and other EMI artists) standing next to a giant Nipper replica. Circa 1961/2.

    Same here, I'm intrigued by the 'Jim Caviezel look-alike' lol, I'm a fan of the red arrows having seen them up close recently, it seems they fly inches apart from one another, absolutely amazing.
