How's that for random information overload? The art panel? Oh yes - sorry:



and let's finish off with panel 4 which is not some random purchase from me:

Heh Hey!

Now that's what I'm talking about!

Azad video-now there's a name from the past!

Nice stuff!

What's the chance of getting Rick's other artwork as well? On the poster, perhaps?

You can always grab a copy of The Art Of The Nasty

It will be really hard to pick a display cover from those four choices and, if I'm honest, I prefer Rick's artwork to the one that Arrow plumped for. In any case, it is a matter of 'the agony of choice' and that can only be a good thing -- we don't really want releases where everyone is going to choose the same thing because we're all unhappy with the other three.

As with several other films that Arrow has released, this will be a first for me as I wasn't into film films when Vamp was released so this title is very welcome and even more so as it is being released on DVD and Blu-ray, hopefully with a plethora of extra features to go with the four fine cover options.

While I do like the 2 new panels, being an old fart myself, and always feeling nostalgic, I'll probably display panel 3. You can't go wrong with that classic vhs artwork.

You're still in the '80s with legwarmers, poodle perms and Olivier Newton-John, aren't you?!

I certainly am. I even have Oliva singing let's get physical on the Ghetto Blaster right now!

Can you picture the video? If I remember correctly, it was quite erotically charged with plenty of sweaty people -- including Olivia herself, who looked pretty sexy!

Wasn't it banned in certain countries?

I didn't know that.

So what artwork will everyone else be displaying? I have a feeling it's either going to be Rick's or the VHS. Not that there's anything wrong with art by the dude designs or that French poster.

Well, I was partly right:

The provocative lyrics of the title track prompted two Utah radio stations to ban the single from their playlists. (In 2010, Billboard magazine ranked this as the most popular single ever about sex.) To counter its overtly suggestive tone, Newton-John filmed an exercise-themed video that turned the song into an aerobics anthem (and made headbands a fashion accessory outside the gym).

I'm with you and will probably go for the VHS cover, maybe alternating with Rick's artwork.
