Rico And The Special AKA - Jungle Music (Original Promo) (1982) (Full HD)
Rico Emmanuel Rodriguez , the man, the inspiration and musical legend without whom the entire 2 Tone era would probably never have happened... 🎺 😎
Waited for over 40 years for them to release a decent copy of this video from the original film but whomever finally did convert it then either they were clueless at doing so or the software they used is crap. The "Official" release has dropped frames every second making the video very jerky, tried to rectify that as much as possible here and while it's slightly better than the "official" release it aint perfect though...
Ah well, tis better than nowt I suppose and better than my old very chewed and worn out VHS copy I have... enjoy... 😊

Thanks for always sourcing out and providing quality content MadFranko008!

[@MadFranko008]

You're welcome mate, the sourcing part is something I have always done even long before UA-cam or the internet was around as music and music videos are an important and enjoyable part of my life, so it's always nice to be able to share them with others who also enjoy and appreciate them... 😊

[@RobTaverner]

I doth my pork pie hat in your direction again Frank. Top bloke. Great job and shared around for you. 😉

[@MadFranko008]

Happily on this one they had upscaled it already to 1080p so it was already nice sharp, just pity they ballsed up the frame rate and caused it make most of the people dancing looking like they were having epileptic fits or sumfink Rob...
You win some, you lose some I suppose... 😉

Thanks Mad! A masterpiece no doubt and one of the most fun videos ever. You're a genius! Thanks for sharing these gems as always

[@MadFranko008]

Cheers Danny, rest assured I aint a "genius" though, just a lifelong music fan who likes to have the very best quality old music videos possible in my collection... 😀

Not one of my favourites ( unusual) but great video, arcade games at the start, Phoenix and Frogger...... Happy Days❤

[@MadFranko008]

Ah the good old days of arcade machines, another reason why I am so grateful to have been growing up in a time and era where we had the best music and newfangled wondrous things called video games (many happy hours spent in those dark, very dark arcades crammed full of glowing boxes) that we could blow every penny we had on... Happy Days indeed and I wouldn't change it for the world... 😊
