Hello.
This time I would like to share the 'clean' original 4:3 scale version of CALLING ALL GIRLS video. NO TV logo, NO titles. It starts with the promo clock counter which indicates its release date - July 1st 1982.
It's important to say a couple words about this video. It comes from a VHS tape. Due to some higher generation source it was DISCOLORED. But our greatly talented buddy (Chief Mouse) has managed to restore its color!!! As a result - here you've got the processed 'clean' 4:3 version of "Calling All Girls" promo video. Enjoy! link
Well, the colour was taken from another TV broadcast of this promo which Antiden also provided me. That was he best that could be done since it wasn't possible to squeeze colour out of the original video.
Thanks a lot for sharing this antiden, and to the amazing Chief Mouse for the fantastic job on this one. I don't know how you do it, but the results are amazing!
So, just to make sure i catalogue this the right way, the only difference between this version and the Greatest Videos 2 DVD version is the aspect ratio, or is there something more?
Thanks again.

Everything's great, but the video looses it's original framerate, as I can compare it to the released GVH II version.

Yes, the aspect ratio is the only difference.
Fantastic! Thanks for the reply and thanks again for sharing it. It's great to read this forum with all you video experts out there. I learn a lot!
It's quite interesting, that the release date of "Calling All Girls" video is July 1st 1982. And the next Queen video "Back Chat" dates July 19th 1982.
Wow, two absolutely different videos shot in such a short period of time. Just an observation...
how is antiden's second link for the video (first one isn't working anymore) different than the first one in the first post which is worked on my great chief mouse? the video on the second link is also in 4:3 aspect ratio and it's in color.
