| This was the first time we ever did Rocky at the Odeon, Renfield St. Back in those days it was pretty much unheard of for them to show it - nowadays it is (more or less) our regular home. For some reason, it was programmed in Odeon 1 which at that point had around 1,500 seats. Needless to say it wasn't full, but we did a good job of the front middle section (I'd say around 300) This was memorable as the first night we ever sold prop bags - Carole and Saff came up with them and were outside touting them to the queue. I believe this was the night we were treated to the dulcit tones of the balloon-powered tooters.

It's probably quite relevant that I not only dated the card, but wrote "Rocky no 63" on it. I think at this stage in my Rocky fandom I was finding it hard to keep count. I'm sure that tally is wrong though, as I'm sure my 60th screening was the Charming Underclothes Rocky/ Shocky doubler in August 1992. Anyway, it's a pretty card nonetheless, while the front is a little weak, the back has a strong visual impact, lessened only by the massive blob of sticky tape in the middle. |
