That's really cool. I hope I can get a copy of this without paying megabucks (you know, import prices)

Looks great!
I was ignorant enough to pass on the Pop Group back in the day. Well, gives me something new to explore today.

Long live the Pop group..Have a great memory of seeing them at Empire Ballroom in Leicester Sq..penny pipe playing fans danced..while the stage was crowded with sax playing maniacs being carried on shoulders..maddest opening i've ever seen..

Hope there will be some unearthed footage of TPG as there is little i can find!

Excellent stuff, and a long overdue retrospective. I was (still am) a huge fan, probably saw them more than any other band in the all too brief period that they were around.
My only gripe about this is, who the hell was that 14 year-old bespectacled kid who describes himself as a 'Writer and Post Punk Scientist'??? Give me strength, I hope he's not on going to be given too much screen time in the film...

Wow. This looks great! I don't have any idea when this will pop up in the States, but thanks for the heads up. At least I know it even exists now. Very very cool indeed. Thanks you SeekingJustine for the heads up!
