Yeah, any new material or news that I find, I'll add to that review. Though I don't like to peddle news about bootlegs - there's a DVD on sale on eBay at the moment, for instance.

Gee... this one sounds interesting. I love English stuff from this period. Hopefully, it'll be up for pre-order soon at Amazon.co.uk. Just checked and it isn't yet.
