What is
going on
Urgh
Fans!?
The Internet
is flooded
with
thousands of
us wanting
to see and
own Urgh on
DVD. There’s
even a
dedicated
re-release
campaign
website (a
lot of good
that will
do).
So, is
Urgh A Music
War
on
DVD
ever going
to happen?
Here’s the
deal.
Urgh! A
music War
is
un-releasable
on DVD.
This is due
to an
exclusive
contract to
publish this
movie on a
now dead
format (CED).
The word is
that the
contracts
for the
individual
artists are
missing and
you can’t
renegotiate
a contract
without the
original to
amend it.
The film is
currently
owned by its
original
producer,
Miles
Copeland. He
has the
original
film of
THREE songs
(not one)
from each
band in
storage. And
because of
the legal
land lock,
it cannot be
released. So
on and so
forth,
BLAH-BLAH-BLAH…
The VHS
copies (if
you can find
one) sell
for as much
as
$120.00
and are
usually
unplayable
because they
are mostly
old rental
copies. And
the DVD’s
you find for
sale are
even worse
because they
are made
from either
those crappy
VHS tapes or
edited
versions
shown on
cable or
satellite
TV. On top
of that
these cheap
home made
versions are
cramming
over 2 hours
of video
onto a
single layer
DVD, a
guaranteed
recipe for
crap
quality.
I sincerely
hope that
some of you
reading this
did not
waste your
hard earned
dollars and
fall for one
of these
scams as I
have.
Some years
back I was
the winning
bidder
($170)
on EBay for
a Urgh! A
Music War
DVD.
“Original
and Very
Rare!” it
said.
Shame,
Shame,
Shame!
I’m sure you
can imagine
the quality
and sound
(in 2 weeks,
the DVD
stopped
playing
altogether).
The printing
on the cover
and DVD
itself
looked like
it was done
with a
crayon.
Not too long
ago, I also
stumbled on
a website
that offers
Urgh on
DVD
for only
$30 plus
shipping. I
was very
curious
because they
specialize
in out of
print and
hard to find
films on
both
DVD
and VHS. I
emailed them
inquiring
about this
film in
particular.
They told me
that the
quality and
sound was
excellent
because the
DVD was made
from a laser
disc. So I
purchased
it. When I
received it,
although the
cover and
DVD printing
was much
better than
my
unplayable,
$170.00
EBay
version, the
sound and
picture were
worse than
any VHS I’ve
seen.
OK,
enough!
Something
had to be
done about
this.
I’m just too
big a fan of
this film
not to be
able to
enjoy it
with quality
and sound,
the way it
should be
viewed.
After all,
this film
represents
my teenage
years
growing up
in New York
City.
Unknowingly,
I was
actually at
the Ritz
when they
filmed Klaus
Nomi for the
film.
Imagine how
weird it was
when I saw
the film for
the first
time Just over a
decade
later.
To make a
long story
short, I
contacted an
old friend
who works at
(*&#@*&#)
Studios
and
convinced
him to make
me a real
studio DVD,
exactly like
the ones you
find in
stores.
Success!
This is
exactly what
I was
looking for:
-
Full
uncut
124
minute
version
-
Digitized
Video
-
Dolby
Digital
Sound
-
Full
scene
selection
menu
-
Professional
cover
and
DVD
Now that I’m
thrilled
half to
death, it’s
time to
share it
with all you
Urgh fans!
