Russ Meyer anybody? - Beyond Tiki

I've got the Vixen films, UP!, and Faster Pussycat so I know these are definitely out, but I think a large number of others might be available too, including some of the older more obscure ones. The Scala cinema club in London used to show Russ Meyer double bills every week on Tuesday afternoons. As I was doing a course down the road at that time, I managed to see virtually all his flicks. Even the older ones have their charm. Kitten Natividad played a Russ Meyer night over in London a couple of months ago and she said that unfortunately Russ is now very ill with Alzheimers which is a great shame. I always assumed he'd have his magnum opus still in him. Trader Woody
