G.DONIZETTI - Don Pasquale, Rare version 1973 Geraint Evans

This version is a sought out version by people who have seen short clips on UA-cam. Yes, the quality is terrible - it is a VHS recording. in my knowledge, the film was released both on VHS and DVD. the clips on UA-cam with both excellent audio and video is most likely the DVD version. However, both of them are not commercially available - why? an excellent film of impeccable staging and musical rendition, not to be seen by anyone and forgotten (That is, after hours and hours of search, not being able to find more than a scrap of information. I still might have missed something.)
and that is why I upload it. and also to seek people with information on the access of better version.

I believe we recorded this video in 1978 not 1973 - I was a student at the GSMD in 1973!
