Hi there,
This is something I have posted to my "Carpenters Info" newsletter.
-----------
A new DVD "Live at BBC" is to be released in Japan on April, 25 this year.
I do not know exactly what contains there, but a new Carpenters A&R has
given me the following info:
Main contents:
A 60 minute documentary on Carpenters including Richard's latest interview
Extra:
76 footage 27min.
74 footage 45min.
71 footage 50min.
--------
Now, it does not tell me exactly what they are but it does give me a
good idea.
What do you think "a 60 minute documentary" may be? I remember BBC
creating a documentary back in 96 if my memory serves me correct. You
think they have inserted a new interview with Richard there? Or is it
something new? Probably I am missing something. Fill me in.
76 footage: probably it includes opening of their show Richard
conducting an orchestra and "Need to be in Love". What else? Maybe a
medley??
74 footage: it must be that whole show. Probably many of you already
have a copy. That program was exactly 45 minute, I recall.
71 footage: Carpenters played 10 songs including "And when he Smiles"
and "Bacharach Medley". Altogether does not take 50 minute. It leads me
to believe it also includes Tony Joe White stints.
I wonder why it is called "Live at BBC" and the main content is a 60
minute documentary and "extra" is really about their live gigs for BBC ?
It is a bit confusing, but the A&R is a new guy and he is responsible
for CD album releases but not necessary DVD.
Also, I asked if the same title would be released elsewhere but I did
not receive any answer. I would assume it will be released worldwide. It
was almost 10 years ago, I heard Richard obtained rights to those
footages. It may have been nothing but a rumor. Regardless of such
rumor, I am really happy to know that it will be available, and no more
eBay dealings on these footages.
