The Pied Piper Enigma TM& HM

[Simon1]

I must say Trevor did an excellent job on this topic. Separating fact from fiction, covering it from all sides. It's unbelievable this footage remains unseen/unearthed. I mean it was a professional job, stuff like that doesn't just disappear? I still hope it will pop up one day before we'll all be pushing up daisies.

Agreed. The article has clarified a lot of aspects about PP.

The "Uncle Pen(n)", single is another mystery. I remember ordering the record from a local shop after the announcement in NME(?), some time in the late 1960s (?). I seem to recall, however, that someone has written about it in relatively recent times, but I can't recall where or when.

I think they were keeping it under the counter for me. Unfortunately the shop closed about 30 years ago.

Ha, ha, ha !

Are you sure ?

Didn't it contain "Tiger Man" ?

Sorry my English, but this line: "... the famous movie short which was filmed on October 20th, 1955 and that is still unreleased: "The Pied Piper of Cleveland - A Day in the Life of a Famous Disc Jockey". Does this means that it was "unreleased" before DVD's release or it is finally(!) available on this DVD? American Music Preservation.com

Well it says on there: For reasons best understood by legal minds, the movie was not released at the time and has never been released since, though some sources state that it was shown once in Cleveland. I guess if it was available on that disc, which came out in 2005, we'd have heard by now.

It came out in 2016. Actually that "computer disc" is a CD-ROM and it is only available from the Center for American Music Preservation.

That title of track 6: The Pied Piper of Cleveland (1955 movie short). I believe that it is somekind "Making of...", "Bill Randle Remembers…" or something like that, although it claims to be a "movie short from 1955 of "The Pied Paper...".

Yes I saw that. It's intriguing, but as you say, it's probably just talking about it.
