We could bombard NatGeo with emails requesting a stream, or at least that it be put back on sale. I'd like to see all of their old docs, actually.

I have had it for ages, it's sat in my room awaiting my slow ass to purchase a nice broadcast vhs player/recorder/editor so I can upload the clip, as well as do some other stuff

if/when you transfer it, I'd suggest doing so according to this guide: http://anarchivism.org/w/How_to_Rip_VHS

yes! great work. i saw that copy floating around on there. im starting to think it was never actually made on ntsc vhs. looking forward to whatever you share! thanks!

any updates on this anyone? is anyone down there?! (said down a 300 foot long piece of PVC pipe)

I requested a rip of it on a well known video torrent website when this thread started, but nothing ever came of it.

starting to think we will never see this bug!

it isnt a literal copy (like a 3rd party duplication, its an original nat geo copy), its an old part of a collection from a schools science department.

please do post clips if you get the chance! im very interested in seeing. no pressure...

Now that's hardcore.

So basically this means you found an original sample from dandelion ? that's cool! And if so, I'm curious how much they sampled/cut it, from that is the original, so should I watch it?

I believe so. Well, we will find out soon enough I guess. I know a lot of Brits that actually have this on VHS, but it has never been digitized officially or unofficially. Even if the BOC sample doesnt come from this, im still pleased as punch as ive wanted to see this gem for a long time. Again, being obsessed with submarines and bob ballard as a kid, this will be a real treat! Maybe my very own record will have a few samples from this as an homage to the boys... we will see. More soon I hope!

just remember. if you want it to work

you have to listen to leslie nielsen voice forwards
and watch the video backwards

that was a bad geogaddi pun, but i did it anyway.





and im sorry. but id put a very good amount of money on it that BOC have def. dabbled in psychedelics. nobody in a sober frame of mind wakes up one day and says. we need a leslie neilsen track with some backwards synth melodies. just that sentence alone can cause a hallucination.

I'd have to go routing through some of it, but I'm 99.9% sure they've talked about hallucinogens in one or two of their interviews before.
Pretty sure their good friend being called 'Smokes Quantity' gives it away anyway lol

they have mentioned on several occasions that psychedelics have been an influence and those references have been implicit in mentioning the bon fires they have with their friends on the coast or in the woods

i'd highly recommend reading through all the interviews compiled on BOC pages. all this is in there.

I was also reminded they, at least at the time of 2005, are contractually obligated to release two more records through WARP (the interview says 3 but Tomorrow's Harvest was the first)
