Splitting up these anecdotes are the various sub genres which Vipco released.
Bit of a bummer really as the author James Simpson cleary is a Vipco fanatic.
His reviews and inclusions of the bumf Vipco printed on the back of their sleeves to secure a sale,are,however worth the price alone and it's nice to see those outrageous cover pics and taglines again which reeled in punters (myself included) hook,line and sinker.

Just one wee glaring mistake James....Vipco DID release SHOCK WAVES (Page 109) and the quality WAS worse than their tape release!
It was one of the first DVDs I bought.....

So it wasn't just me that felt their release of Shockwaves was shite.
