Move over, Ms L!

Hi all, wondering why you are looking at this jumbled up page? This is due to the fact that Facebook didn't like our url since it starts with wog, so we have been forced to move the blog. This was some time ago, and we have placed a script which would automatically send you to our new location. Obviously, this hasn't worked for all of you, since we have just finished moderating some of your comments which appeared on this site recently, and not on our new (and improved!) site. So what we're saying is head on over to our new site, and update your bookmarks!

New cover for UK A Hard Day's Night

New cover. Second Sight Films
Now that's more like it! It's no secret that the Beatles fan community has been disappointed with the various proposed covers for the new edition "A Hard Day's Night" film, and British distributor Second Sight Films has finally landed on a design we are happy with.

It's not terribly original of course, as the same photo is used on The Beatles Rockband game, which was released in 2009 and still is in the shops.

Initially, the art for the DVD and Blu-ray in the UK looked like this:

Original cover idea, designed by design studio La Boca.
There was an outcry from the public about this, and people posted messages on the Amazon UK site that thay would rather order the film from abroad. After a while, Second Sight Films decided to drop the colours from the cover, and their second version looked like this:
Second Sight's second thought
Now it looks like they've abandoned the La Boca design altogether and the new cover is a Sight for sore eyes. The best of the lot, we think - and that includes all the foreign editions, as well.

At last! That's made my day :)
I like to think that in a small way, myself and the other fans on weblog made a difference. Power to the people!

Well, I thought the original cover was fresh and eye-catching. The new cover is ... typical (and like you say the image has been used before)
