Hi y'all...

I have a original videocassette from 1983 titled 'SHORTS'. It's an Ikon Production FACT 137. Is this a rarity release ?

Greets, Floyd Anderson...

Although this came out in 1983...i still have not seen one of these and tried purchasing it back around 1989.I would say it is rather rare and just like everything in the collecting world if you ain't got it and you want it...it is worth a great deal.Don't sell it EVER would be my advice to you.What would you do with the money that could replace such a TREASURE. Greetings Floyd from ROCKET MICK

A mid-period compilation video featuring some classic examples of the Factory approach to promotional films. Particularly of note is the Kalima offering - The Smiling Hour - which was partly filmed in Sunley Tower, Piccadilly Plaza, Manchester. Having worked there myself for several years it is easily recognisable. Further notables include the original promo for Blue Monday by New Order which includes primitive computer animation which looks like it was done on a ZX Spectrum. The software responsible is rumoured to be the Fac 91 Facsoft program which never made it past the development stage.

Thus says IKON site that produced it.:D

most of the remixes do not look official (warren lapham runs the ceremony mailing list for instance)
