A treat for Gary Numan fans, one of the rarest live versions of Down In The Park from Numans 1979 Living Ornaments tour. This was never meant for official release, but somehow made its way into ABCs Rage archives. A comment from Peter Enright, one of the original editors of the video: Bit of useless trivia here: Very interesting this has found its way into the ABC Rage archives. let me explain. Way back in 1983 John Bray & myself re-edited Numans live concert video footage at Custom Video to the stereo LP soundtrack of the same LIVING ORNAMENTS gig - just so I could have good sound quality instead of the very poor original mono video sound quality. We transferred the VHS to 1 videotape & re-synced the sound to match. This clip is one of the tracks we cut - its entirely unofficial - & the giveaway is the blue wash on some scenes & the pyramid shaped Quantel digital effect which we used to slow mo the footage & keep it in sync to the vinyl stereo mix which of course ran at a slightly different speed - none of which exists on the original footage. I gave a 2 dub to a mate at the ABC (forget his name) & from there it has entered their system as an official clip - but its not, its all my work & John Brays editing! Amazing to see it after all these years. ------------------------ And DEAR GODS this man is GORGEOUS! https://youtube/watch?v=XaF9KTH0SEg
