Package 1 – July 1976
I only own 2 of the 6 issues from this short-lived magazine, published from July 1976 through it’s last issue on January of 1977. Of special note is the cover of the first issue – I’m sure you recognize Mike Davis – interesting that his “porn name” is not referred to once in the article – should I scan and post? Oh wait, it’s up – Winn Strickland.
who you may remember from such films as
previously on BJLAND:
Killing Me Softly
Killing Me Softly page
CENTURIANS OF ROME
In Killing Me Softly, Johnny is the jogger/victim on the Brooklyn Bridge, strangled with a jockstrap after sex! In Pier Groups, Johnny is the non-sex demolition company surveyor, who walks around the West Side Piers amongst the sex, “surveying” with no discernable expression of interest, surprise, or anything! You keep thinking the married guy discovering rampant gay sex on the pier will join in, but by film’s end, nada! He’s a Roman Senator in Centurians of Rome, and in Head Waiter performs in a sex show on stage – a film I’ve never seen (as far as I remember) but now must!
who you may remember from such magazines as:
The PLAYGUY spread was a pleasant surprise, but alas, not many other magazine appearances that I have been able to (yet) uncover.
Director: Bruce Cam, Forrest Fyre, Chris Harts (1992) (sound quality alert – lower volume, lots of static) – think I fixed sound!
( rerun alert!) previously posted back in 2015
OK, so this isn’t a porno clip, but a porno music video! In what I believe is Al Parker’s last appearance on screen, he introduces this music video, Fast Idle, by R.K. Street, performed by Butch Garland. It shows up at the end of this video by the same name, from Titan Productions (which must be the pre-cursor to Titan Media). Al is not in the porno movie, just here in this clip, sitting atop a car as the camera swirls around him, and the hypnotic love song plays with snippets from the movie – I dare you not to be singing “My heart did a fa-a-ast idle, I had me just o-o-one just chance for survival” by the end of the video! What’s with the 3 directors??!
(yes, yet another video I regret selling years back on eBay!)

Paul Shippnek – COLT OLYMPUS 2 (1973)
This guy’s porn career may well have been a handful of COLT photographs w/Erron, a film with Erron and Tom Del, and an appearance from those that appear (barely) in COLT OLYMPUS 2 (1973)
readying this post, I am wondering if I got ALL these pics from this post – Vintage: Erron, Del, Paul Shippnek (All About Erron) ?? In any case, interesting how difficult it is to get good face pics, or good cock pics of this model.
Director: Jason Sato (1982)
a scene from Skin Flix – 3-Way Orgy – “Joe goes over to two friends’ house. The friends just picked up Brad Peters and are starting the sex. Joe is invited to join in but is too angry so he declines.”
OR – hairy Brad Peters (still have that videography in my “drafts” folder) has a hot 3-way with 2 other guys
what’s wrong with this picture?
So, as I am reviewing the scene, I realize (think/assume) I’m hearing the instrumental version of Blondie’s Call Me , but jsut to be sure do a shazaam on it and find it’s actually Palm Springs Drive. So then I shazaam the rest of the clip:
OK, enuf work for one day (this took me longer!)
“The evening we loaded-in and prepared to install the vaunted SurroundUSound system a sedan packed with “bridge-and-tunnel” boys and their girlfriends slowed as they passed; the hunky driver leaned out the window and asked if we knew the location of a new club called “Studio 54”. We–California and Chicago dudes– of course had no clue.”
I’ve said it a million times before, the haunting theme, those first few minutes of SOUND, not imagery, always sends me back to a dark all-male movie theatre. sigh. Of course, the intoxicating sounds weren’t only coming from the big screen, but behind the screen’s “secret spot” in the seats, downstairs in the cubicles, but it still always had the background noises from the films themselves, this one most notably.
Born Again by Charles Colson (who “found new life – not with success and power, but while in national disgrace and serving a prison sentence.”).
more sounds – Episode 22
Jack (1973) (66 minutes running time; original 82 minutes? possibly “the Rambles” scene missing or cut?) The version here is from Quality X, so I’m surprised it’s missing footage!
Director: John Stephens
(here’s the larger file, which I will keep up for awhile – Jack 1.1 gb download – in case anyone wants to download/keep it).
Starring: Dano Martin (Jack), Bob Jones (Henry in the apartment), Leo Link (Lonny in the dream), Bob Benelli (Danny the shoeshine boy), Phil D’Angelo (Glen the lover) and Robert Lamb (Roger in the park)
original music score by The Beautiful People.
OK OK OK – how long has this been in the drafts folder, waiting for me to edit the below review that I forgot to note who wrote it and where it appeared??? grrrrrr – so now, do I leave the entire review, or..
and… I have not actually looked at the film, except enough to get some screen grabs… feedback appreciated, including what’s hot, what’s not in the film.
trivia – partially shot at New York’s legendary Continental Baths; and the second cameraman: A VERY NATURAL THING director, Christopher Larkin.
“Jack is a young Manhattan executive who has the hots for his upstairs neighbor, a man whose attention is concentrated on his wife and child.
oops – I can’t recall where I got this long quote from – if you know, let me know and I can give credit!
Producer-director-writer John Stephens has laid a heavy helping of his own poetry over one of the major sex scenes and, in addition, taped a conversation with two voices and has it competing on the soundtrack with visuals of an obviously different conversation between two actors in a park. Consequently, we hear people talking when no lips are moving, and see lips moving but hear no voices. It’s confusing to say the least – not knowing whether to pay attention to the screen action or try to get the gist of the soundtrack discussion.
The poetry reading completely destroys any eroticism the sex scene might have had because the sentiments being expressed are not conveyed by the screen action. Quite the opposite. The words are sugary romantic, and the sex depicted anything but. Audiences for this type of film do not want a lot of talking during the sex.
Stephens has also recreated the dinner scene from TOM JONES, a bad idea since nothing can ever equal the original. However, there is some interesting photography, particularly of the Central Park Rambles and the Continental Baths.
They did come up with something original though, a scene of Jack masturbating in a bathtub, with the camera poking underwater to catch the action closeup. Terry Charles has done a good tight job of editing the sex but falls short on the outdoor stuff, which is just a beat too slow in following Jack’s progress walking the streets and park.”
