Finally! Very good news!! I still haven’t gotten over the fact that I wasn’t allowed in when D. O. M. played Stockholm in -76 (I was way too young). I even went to the student board that organized the gig a few days beforehand to try and talk my way in, assuring them that I would be happy just to stand perfectly still at the back and not walk within a mile of the bar if only they would let me see my favourite band, pleeease?!? No such luck… A year or two later, when another hero, David Johansen, came to town (and I was still very underage) I realized that perhaps it’s better to go straight to the band at the soundcheck and let them know of the situation – and of course it worked. Syl Sylvain smuggled me in backstage in no time. I’m pretty sure it would’ve worked with you too, which makes me even more mad that I didn’t think of it back then…
Anyway, will you hurry up with the dvd transfer please! I’ve waited 35 years to see you!!!!

hey Julian many thanks for your posting. How kind of you to take the time. It was indeed the “How to Hype..etc” and it scuppered our US career before it even got started! I had never seen it before last week…those days before video meant that you either saw it live or you missed it! My manager Bryan Morrison died last year and his secretary contacted me to say she had found a box with what looked like a 16mm print of a film in it. Will post it here on the website as soon as I have done telecine conversion and duplication/artwork etc. Please feel free to join me on Facebook Best wishes Richard

I tried to post this on your facebook page but it will not let me.

Hi Richard, The TV show was called “How to Hype a Rock ‘n’ Roll Band” wasn’t it?. As mentioned in your wonderful autobiography. I have been trying to hunt down any trace of the documentory on this side of the pond for years. Fantastic news Richard! How on earth did you come to find a copy? I eagerly await it’s availability on DVD on your cool new website. Looking forward to re-living the memories of many fantastic, ground breaking DOM gigs in the late 70′s.
Best wishes, Julian Rochester, Houston, TX
