Vol. 27 — November 1983

This is largely a filler issue, but there's a few items of note.

One is an announcement of five screenings of the full uncut two-hour Seibu Stadium performance footage from November 3rd, 1982. A pared-down cut of this footage had been released on VHS in September 1983, but it seems that these five screenings held in December of '83 were the only time this footage was ever seen in its entirety to this day (well, almost in its entirety—see vol. 28 for more details). Two screenings took place on December 15th in Osaka, one on the 16th in Nagoya, and two more on the 21st in Tokyo. The public was allowed to buy tickets, but seats were limited and preference was given to fanclub members. The anouncement also notes that this would be shown via projector in quality not replicated on home video.

There's also a Japanese fan's account of the English fanclub's Queen Garden Party held in Hampstead Heath, but it sounds somewhat anti-climactic.
