Tabu Films et al

[bangers_mash]

Hello all you knowledgeable people! I am a technically inept dunce. I have just found an old video tape which had a number of Tabu films on it including "Recipe For Sex", "Shaven Havens", "Super Pick Up", Sex Shop", "Gypsies Curse" and so on on it and thought they were brilliant! My abilites to get search engines to find what I'm actually looking for have been put to the test and this site is all I could come up with! I would love to buy any other films made by these people, preferably on VHS but otherwise on DVD, or to swap copies with anyone who might have titles I haven't got. Can any of you experts tell me where I can find a site selling these films or that would put me in touch with people to arrange swaps please?
Secondly, I am after an uncensored version of the Millington classic, "Come Play With Me". I seem to recall at the time the film came out that a magazine ran a series of uncensored photo's from the film so assume there was a hardcore version somewhere, but again, I cannot get the search engines to tell me where I can get hold of a copy. Help, please???
Finally, I read a thread with interest about potential hard core viewing on Sky. In the old "Satellite & TV Europe" magazine, there were adverts asking us to ring ?1 a minute numbers for instructions on how to view adult material through a standard digibox without having to move the dish alignment. Does anyone know what is available out there and how I can access it please? I really don't want to invest in a mobile dish or a new box if I can help it so any help you could give would be very much appreciated.
All the best - Colin

Don't ring any of the telephone numbers ... you can't view much of worth on a Sky box, it's a con to get your money.

All of the hardcore channels worth watching are on 13E (Hotbird) ... the latest and best card to buy is probably the MTC card giving 10 channels 24 hours a day:

MULTI CHANNEL TELEVISION (MCT) is the first European hardcore TV network to offer a package of 10 unique high quality channels on 1 smartcard. The channel line-up consists of SCT, Ultraplus TV, Luxuria TV, Sex.TV, SexGay.TV, SexPlus.TV, SexBest.TV, SexGlamour.TV, Amateur TV and Fantasy TV.

About ?170 for a years viewing

Cheaper cards are available with 4/5 channels - and your sky box is useless, but for porn on TV, never look to UK based channels as they will rip you off.

You won't find the possibly mythical hard version of Come Play with Me. It either never existed or no longer exists.

It sounds as if you could have a mixture of Tabu (German company) and Taboo (British, John Lindsay) loops from the titles you give, though the loops themselves could all be British-made, whoever released them. In any event, apart from Gypsies Curse, which is a known (Taboo) survivor, you may have some rare loops and I'm sure Ace (who posts on this forum) will be in touch.

One of the actors in Come Play With Me , Derek Aylward, talks about enjoying an explicit romp with Lisa Taylor in the film (p153 3rd paragraph - KTBEU 2nd ed) . The book does say that the film contains traces of the missing hardcore (4 hardcore scenes 3 hetero, 1 lesbian).

I wonder if he knows more. He's still alive (well, so is Lisa Taylor).

A bit out of date as a review.

If the start and finish of the films were not cut a good way of telling if they are Taboo films are these screencaps here

John Lyndsay was a thorn in the side of the state. He was prosecuted nine times for the same film. The ninth time in Manchester on the plot of Chief Constable James Anderton the anti pornography cop. He was then found guilty.

Anderton stated in a public speech at the 1982 (National Veiwers & Listeners Association Annual Meeting- Mary Whitehouse's organisation) that "pornographers were garbage in the sea of life".

Me and John were going to make a film together but we were both in nick for pornography offences!
