Exclamation 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.

Is this that really dodgy TV documentary ...was it channel 4 ?? ...with creepy incidental music and a female fan that looked a bit odd?

Available in HD and SD for the same £2.99 price. No doubt, it's not HD at all

Inner eye opening to the stepped scarlet pyramid of the Eastern Seaboard Fission Authority burning beyond the green cubes of Mitsubishi Bank of America,
and high and very far away he saw the spiral arms of military systems, forever beyond his reach.
And somewhere he was laughing, in a white-painted loft, distant fingers caressing the deck, tears of release streaking his face.

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

You're right. It's unkind, and really could have been any of us at that age. I've removed my post.

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