The Vanishing of Richey Manic documentary
This 90s TV documentary that I read about in the Everything book and assumed I would never see, is now on Amazon video complete with interviews of some very 90s-looking fans, Boy George and Simon Price.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08D4SXV68 Probably won't tell you anything you haven't heard before, but it's a nice(?) bit of nostalgia.

Watched it yonks ago on a DVD set that was doing the rounds. I'm just waiting for the Simon Price haters to get a massive boner after watching this.
I hope the Close Up documentary gets puts on Amazon, it would be nice to have something that wasn't ripped from an over watched VHS.

Yes, we've all had a laugh at becky craig over the years so go us i suppose?
Her poetry was good enough for richey to crib some of it for lyrics though. Make of it what you will... http://foreverdelayed.org.uk/forum/s...ad.php?t=43034 http://web.archive.org/web/200602041...eckyspoem.html

That poem may well have inspired MSP, but it reads like my university coursework that was most definitely informed by rather than informing them
Also glad there aren’t any photos of me as a student

I keep telling myself that and someday it'll be true, i'm sure.
I want to believe.
