According to me the best movie about 7 blokes starting a band and then becoming famous. Who would have thought the Magnificent Seven would be playing at the Olympics and on top of Buckingham Palace, 30+ years ago. Can’t see it without getting nostalgic. 😉

Ohmygodohmygodohmygod! I just asked Chrissy Boy about this a couple months ago, and there it is! I am SO excited! I’ve only seen this once probably almost 30 years ago, and have wanted my own copy ever since. WOO-HOO!
Brilliant!!! I have the VHS and was looking at getting it changed myself, this will now give me two versions of a classic.
Magnificent , great that all the audio tracks were kept safe for the CD release. Really looking forward to it!
Take It Or Leave It is a snapshot of living in London around the start of the Thatcher era. Head of Stiff Records at the time, Dave Robinson, saw the need to capture the story of the group on celluloid before it was too late. And how right his foresight was, as in the film most of the buildings no longer stand or has been modernised to such an extent that recreating the scenes, today, would be prohibitively expensive. Memories of events over time, would have been forgotten or vaguely recited. Shot on a shoestring budget by taking on directorial duties and persuading the group to play themselves. He has made a film which at times the acting is amateurish and the script almost in narrative form but over the years the film has a certain charm and naivety and fun
I always thought it was 21 top 21’s as Uncle Sam reached 21! Totally agree with you about those three tracks.
