Voor de vuist weg

[Marcel Rijs <100276.2176@compuserve.com>]

Hi,

Finally I received word from Hilversum, the Netherlands'
broadcasting capitol. I requested info on Kate Bush's performance
on "Voor de vuist weg" back in 1978, and of course a copy if
possible... 

Anyway, they _phoned_ me (How efficient, after three months) to
tell me searching that specific recording would cost me $40 per
hour (Don't you just love to imagine how slow they would work
then), plus $25 to _watch_ the video in Hilversum. That's right, I
would only be invited in to _see_ the recording. 
Aren't there any influential people on this list that know how to
work these capitalist rip-off scumbags? I see no way to access this
recording, anticipating a bill that surpasses my monthly budget by
a few hundred bucks, foreseeing no cooperation at all. 
One thing is sure: the recording should still be in archive, else
they would've said it wasn't. This is just a mean way of making
money out of a collection that monopolizes the country.

Hmmm... what exactly is that context? I could only see IED's more
skillful writing... :)

That's all,
