The movie had to have been released in Oz after August 1971 - that's when I bought the car and before August 1972 when I returned to Sydney.

I've never seen Walkabout nor Straw Dogs. I saw Clockwork at the movies (and would never watch it again. I didn't like it then and I doubt I'd like it now), the others only on TV.

walkabout was part of my high school curriculum(?)

You have told us all many a time you like a bit of "the old in out, in out"?

I agree though, a cruddy movie with a good soundtrack

Of that list, I've seen but two - one at the pictures (Clockwork) and one on TV (French Connection).

I don't recall the soundtrack, it's not in my pile of LPs

Ron

wow, you ve got lp,s I was certain youd be back in the days of 8 track or gramaphone... just think now youve only got 50 years worth of tech to catch up on... :)

I shouldnt pick tho, I own and use a pianola thats older than kermit...

I remember going to the Coober Pedy drive-in in the 70's. The ad's before the film and at intermission where all typed onto a transparency and placed in front of the projector. The first thing before the film started was a notice that advised: "Patron's are reminded that explosives are not permitted in this drive-in theatre" :eek:

Also does anyone else remember the one dollar nights on Sunday's at the Townsville Range drive-in?

The LPs will be playing long after the CDs have failed - so will old 78s. A lot of the CDs I burned a few years ago are no longer readable.

Ron

And there's that sound that an LP has... :)

I still like my vinyl!
