Many copies of this on VHS are in the hands of
ardent GL fans who are happy to put up with what is invariably a less than perfect picture quality, quite possibly because 1979 was just before the availability of reaonably priced Video Cassette Recorders, my first one a long failed Sony Betamax I acquired for just under my tsrget of £300 in 1982 (just in time to record much of the review of the UK's regrettable Falklands War with the Argie-Bargies which had then just ended.)
I umderstand that Soundstage 1979 has been repeated on Canadian Television since 1979 but I am told by the prominent corfid poster who recorded it then that the colour was much the same so possibly there were problems in the original filming/taping.
Nrevertheless a profiteering opportunist has
made a DVD version which is often seen on ebay with what somebody once said was artwork done in Japan
i have a copy of theDVD
and was rather disappointed to find that its picture quality was not really any better than a VHS copy I have that I think is probably at least a third generation copy. And yes Gordon receives a vase of flowers and proceeds to pretend to drink from it
