Any help in finding
Primitive London (1965) on dvdr/vhs plenty to trade or willing to buy.
thanks as always

Mr Flash

I’ve got the early eighties VHS release of Primitive London so can help out with that one if needed. Would be surprised if you have much luck with London in the Raw though. It still ‘exists’ but as far as I’m aware has never been released on tape or shown on TV. Emmett Hennessy, a former actor/musician I know, appeared in both, and was interested in seeing London in the Raw especially. I couldn’t get him a copy but by happy co-incidence clips from both films turned up in a C4 documentary called Sexbomb (think that was the title?), and one of the clips contained Emmett’s bit part from London in the Raw (in a “beatnik party” scene faked by Stanley Long and Arnold Miller) so I was able to email him a screenshot.

Here's the old UK pre-certification video tape - I have this one too, although it's not as complete as the versionb screened at the NFT a short whle back:

I know who handles rights for 'London in the Raw' - I designed and maintain his website in fact - and even I haven't been able to get a copy off of him.

I'm also looking for a copy of this...VHS or DVD is fine.
Anyone got any leads?

Mr Flash

yes, i can do this on DVD. PM me if interested. Sadly 'London in the Raw' seems to be impossable to find, save for those clips in that C4 doc.

Mediatheque

Primitive London is currently available to view in the BFI Mediatheque. We are hoping to add London in the Raw to the collection early in 2008.
