Now i have the below interview with Karyn Hay (Radio With Pictures) and Split Enz at Windows On Wellington restaurant, but if i do find the vhs it will be covered in fungus (mould).

Not on YouTube, wondering if anyone else has it, other than the Film Archive, where you can go in and view stuff, but that's it no copies of course.

Heaps here if the link only works for N.Z. members sorry.

But all those in Auckland and Wellington N.Z. you can go to your local film archive there are 57 hits of Split Enz rare material, audio, video, film, posters.

Even NEW FACES: SPLIT ENDS NOV 1973 Mr R. Finn shot it off the TV screen didn't he.

Noticed in my search all roads lead to Frenz Forum.

The "Spellbound" clip was taped in July 1975, I think, during their tour of NZ. It's been broadcast on TVNZ occasionally since then and features briefly in the "Spellbound" documentary. Sadly, the full thing wasn't included in the Clipz section of the Split Enz DVD. This video still exists thanks to an Enz fan who worked at TVNZ and had made a copy. The original master was junked.

The Radio With Pictures interview special you mention is in fan circulation, as is the "Enz With a Bang" special which was repeated on TVNZ just a few years ago and appears in excerpt form on the DVD.

Different excerpts from Richard Finn's "New Faces" 8mm film appear in the "Spellbound" and "Give it a Whirl" documentaries. In both cases the film runs at the wrong speed. A few years ago I spent some time restoring the original film speed and shot sequence and managed to re-sync it with the audio of "129" and "Sweet Talking Spoon Song". Worked a treat. If it wasn't for copyright, I'd stick it on YouTube!

Hmm...now that the Enz are "with" a major record company, and hence a much larger budget, I wonder if there's any chance of this kind of stuff making it to DVD.

Interesting stuff Jaffaman, Thank You for your reply.

Yes i did note some excerts on the excellent TV3 doco 'Spellbound' that is one of my favs, right down to the Sam Neil narration, a real Kiwi who's who.

Gonna check out Central library cause i see some of the stuff at the film archive is available at some libraries.

'Give It A Whirl' doco was good, wish i had picked up a pre-recorded dvd set of the series, when they 'dumped' the price.

Yes that RWP interview still sticks in my mind as a good one, and Karyn had had a few aperitifs by the look, holding an unlit cigarette for part of the interview.

And Neil using that line 'There was a sense of ..... in the air'.

Can anyone shed any light as to what the 'kaleidascope' documentary was. i remember that PG was taking about putting this on the original enz dvd, if they hadn't secured rights to the 'spellbound' documentary

I don't think the link above works for those outside NZ. The clip features Mike Chunn and the 1983 line-up of the Enz in separate interviews talking through the history of the Enz with interviewer Ian Fraser. Also included is film of the Enz in London 1976 - playing tennis and rehearsing - and a photo call of the reunited early Enz (some of 'em anyway) at His Majesty's Theatre, days before their Sweetwaters Festival show. There's no footage of this line-up playing.

I'm not sure if it was aired at the same time or some months later but another half hour of this feature was broadcast on Kaleidoscope, focussing on the individual Enz of early-mid 1983. We see them rehearsing "Our Day" and "Kia Kaha" (a swing version) and even hear Eddie sing "Goodnight Irene", accompanied by pianola. Tim mentions how he can still see Split Enz conquering America. He goes on to say that even if they split one day, they'll always be together. Even then he could envisage them coming together at age 50 "for a bit of a play".

is someone able to rip this off the website and put it on youtube?

"Goodnight Irene",

Well that rung a bell Jaff, I'm sure they've played that on stage round the Time and Tide times.

Hissy fit time, NOOooooo the vids aren't coming through.
