TV/NTA or Harvey Films those copyright lines weren't blacked out simply to remove any mention therein (though perhaps that's more work than they needed to do anyway).<br /><br />Also, A.A.P. wouldn't live to see the potential in color shine through with their collection, but of course that's another story!Chris Sobieniakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09838106041175506925noreply@blogger.com
