Hi!
As I stated in last month's small & tiny FAQ-diff, I found some interesting
video tapes on my trip to Australia. These tapes are made by a company
called Nightlife which rents them to night clubs, discos, bars etc. in
Australia. Read on, there's a story & some questions behind the listing.

Each video bears the Nightlife logo in the beginning of the videos, together with
song title & artist.
The story how I did come across this info is a bit interesting:
On my recent trip to Australia I was going with a group in a bus. One night
we were in a disco, and I said that this wasn't really my music (the music
the disco played). Now to make me more happy, one of the girls in our group
asked the VJ (not a DJ, Australian discos most often play videos instead of
records) about whether he could help my taste. Well, he couldn't (or else
the disco would've been quite empty quite fast, something which I already
told the girl inquiring for me), but on returning to me the girl said the
VJ had several Kate videos.
Well, that did cost me an hour with a bent back writing notes down on a piece
of paper standing next to the VJ while the VJ played the usual disco stuff.
This hour brought me the first three video tapes (those without total
playing time), three 24-track-tapes. Finding them amongst the 100+
tapes he got was easy, since the whole stock is in a computer database
which also controls the two VCRs - you select the tracks, the computer asks
for the tapes and fast forwards, plays, rewinds and ejects them automatically.
Two nights later we were in another bar which had the same NightLife video
system running, but with far less tapes. Or so it seemed. At least there
were about 2 dozen tapes lying next to the computer. But this time the
computer found 6 more and one or two of the other ones - the main stock
of video tapes was not lying next to the computer... Anyhow, with 6 more
tapes (now some had 40+ titles) I didn't want to sit there and write down
all the stuff (typing is so much faster), so I took my video camera and
just filmed the tape's back covers.
Several people did ask me what I was doing...
I also found out that it costs the bar Aus-$250 per week to rent the
whole system, tapes included.
Anyhow, I also have the address and a poll-free (in Australia) phone
number of the company:
Nightlife Video Head Office
Unit 7A, Lang Business Centre
97 Castlemaine Street, Mitlon, Qld. 4064
PO Box 135, Paddington, Qld. 4064
Australia
(07) 367 1045, fax: (07) 369 8376
008 77 3468
Can anyone of our Australian friends try to inquire whether
a) it's neccessary to rent the system to get the tapes (without owning them) and
b) it's possible to find out whether there are more tapes with Kate stuff?
Thanks!
Uli
