"The Slider" Boxset Competition Result (15 December 2012)
Congratulations to Noel Brownlee! He is the lucky winner of “The Slider” Boxset.
As we expected there were quite a few entries with all correct answers – so the fairest option was to stick all the names in a Hat and make a “Draw”..............
So we did just that and “pulled a winner from my version of the ( iconic ) Slider Hat.
Re-Launch of DVD of Marc Bolan: The Celebration Concert (15 July 2012)
Finally we have persuaded Demon Records to release “The Marc Bolan: The Celebration” DVD that B2B Productions managed to get filmed back in 2007. It was a great night when “a stellar cast” including Marc Almond, Chris Helm from Blondie, and Tony Visconti lined up alongside an inspired T. Rextasy to pay tribute to Marc.
B2B Productions joined hands with Demon Records back in 2009 to “save the recording for posterity” by laying out the money to the Liquidator– thereby ensuring that it would not slide into Crown Copyright. It has been a long and frustrating wait for the product to see daylight again.
To be released on 17th September 2012 - this will be a Limited Edition Release of just 1000 copies. This unique package will be available when finished product is ready here at www.borntoboogie.net
