About

Scenes showing the rehearsals of “Not Such A Bad Boy“, “No Values” (two original songs from the “Give My Regards To Broad Street” project) and “So Bad” were filmed in an old warehouse in East London. The band rehearsed there from March 8th to March 10th, 1983 ; with filming happening on March 11th.

It’s likely that the recordings of the songs have been done around the same time – either live in the warehouse, or at AIR Studios.

From tracks.co.uk – A set of 8 original colour lobby cards from the 1984 film Give My Regards To Broad Street. The cards depict scenes from the film along with copyright details and the film title underneath. Each measure 35.5cm x 28cm (14 inches x 11 inches).
