My family moved to England...I had the SAME problem. My family moved to England in '79, a few days after I picked up this magazine at a gas station in Selma, Ala. I took me a few years to finally see the film, which was around 1982 (I think) when it aired on television in the UK. <br /><br />The photonovel, "The Book of Alien" and Alan Dean Foster's novel held me over until I saw the film, though.Cousin Barnabashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12100748097966533023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-33316297041314558882012-08-18T18:46:55.486-04:002012-08-18T18:46:55.486-04:00I have this magazine still from my childhood.

I had originally thought it was from the deleted scene as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-11945409353952901262012-07-20T00:19:04.863-04:002012-07-20T00:19:04.863-04:00I miss the days when there would be such "Off...I miss the days when there would be such "Official Collector's Edition" tie-ins, as well as movie programs sold in the theaters. Still have a few of them packed away. Many were pitiful, basically just a few stills taken from the movie. The Return of the Jedi collector's edition had quite a bit of behind the scenes production information and photos from the sets and locations. Pretty good, but pretty expensive at $3.50, about the same as admission to the movie.Thunderbird 7noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-87018042041204203332012-07-19T06:18:44.853-04:002012-07-19T06:18:44.853-04:00Want to get hold of this one day.

I've always been intrigued by the cover picture and was wondering if anyone knew whether this shot was from the deleted scene where Parker corners the xenomorph by the airlock and is about to flush it into space when an unseen Ash sounds an alarm and it escapes. I believe the scene is in Alan Dean Foster's book, too. Footage from the bridge as Ripley and Lambert overhear Parker cornering it exists and was on the laserdisc, I remember, but the Alien/Parker part of the material apparently couldn't be found at PINEWOOD when the ALIEN DVD set was being prepared for.
