I haven't seen it as I'm in the US, but I'm seeing a lot of rave reviews of it from Facebook Powderworkers
(of course they aren't the most objective group when it comes to the Oils but I'm sure it's excellent).  
  
Looking forward to both this and another Oils DVD which is supposed to be released this summer called
"Armistice Day."  It is a concert DVD from a show or shows from the Great Circle Tour.  There may also 
be an audio release.  

As for the DVD of 1984 I noticed this on the two sites listing it:  JB Hi Fi says it is region 4 but Madman says it's all region:

Release Date:04/07/2018
Languages:English
Runtime:89.0 mins
Format:DVD, All Regions PAL
Aspect Ratio:16:9 Widescreen Full Height Anamorphic
Catalogue Number:MMA9272

Dear Powderworks friends!!!

How many have seen 1984 in the limited cinema release???
Check the pre-order on Madman site and at JB Hi Fi for aussie or region 4 DVDers… no doubt to be expanded elsewhere by one means or another…

I knew it would be inspiring and a great glimpse of the 1980s but wasn’t ready for Michael Lippold to ‘steal the show’ and to be so closely reminded this was exactly when I was first forced to listen to the Oils and ‘got hooked’…

This egroup has always held legend status for me even before I found my way here…

I’d like to think 1984 is a celebration of long haul passionate Oils fans who knew what it was about before the world discovered this part of our heart and soul as Aussies!!! ‘The Great Circle’ was a brilliant reminder of the guitar brilliance lurking in the band…

I wonder what rumour and fact exists re recordings of new Oils material… they must, last year was too good to be nostalgia!!!
