Stephen Grimes:
Anyone see it on UK tv a few weeks back?It was nice to watch it again after not seeing it for a few years.

Kevin Coed:
VIOLENT MIDNIGHT is a different film entirely, but is also worth a watch. Early sixties US film that sits halfway between the studio films of that era and the Lewis/Steckler type films.

I've got the Image DVD and really like the film a lot. It's a load of old Brit rubbish but very endearing and being a child that grew up in the 70's I love it for the nostalgia of seeing the surroundings I grew up in, especially love the Supermarket rampage! My Dad owned a chain of shops that looked just like that way back then!

I've got the lyrics to 'Riding Free' here, just give me a few minutes to copy them out of my review that I wrote in 'Hidden Detail' #2 the fanzine I put out about 13 years ago! Do you remember that one Kev?  :D

Riding Free (The song from Psychomania)

And the world never knew his name, but the chosen few knew of his fate, come join his company... Riding free.

He really got it on.
He rode that sweet machine just like a bomb.
He felt her in his soul,
But no one there could find him,
Feeling that they could not understand,
He took his life with his own hand.

And the world never knew his name, but the chosen few knew of his fate, come join his company... Riding free.

They tried to tie him down,
To make him place his two feet on the ground,
How could they treat him so,
To ride was more than living,
They tried to clip his wings just like a fly,
So instead of standing still he chose to die.

Through mean and dusty bend,
He leans her ever inward like a friend,
He rides her to the ground,
His heels the black earth jetting,
A haze of blue smoke fretting,
A holy sound of revving fills the sky,
You can see the ghostly rider passing by.

And the world never knew his name, but the chosen few knew of his fate, come join his company... Riding free.

And the world never knew his name, but the chosen few knew of his fate, come join his company... Riding free, riding fee, riding freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
