[78-L] George Formby Recording studio film on DVD

[Steve Ramm]

To my knowledge they werren't released as films in US and Formby only made one trip to the US .
 
As dor the DVDs. They are on Ebay and are REGION FREE so you don't need a special player. I bought basically the complete Formby collection and loved it. They were cheap.
 
Not sure if this is the guy but his quality looks good. The price is certainly right,. All 20 films including Feather Your Next
