Patricia Quinn is seen talking animatedly to another guest. Peter Hinwood looks remarkably identical in appearance to his role as Rocky Horror, lounging around and stroking the thigh of punk icon Jordan (playing prostitute Mammea Morgana). Little Nell is much more difficult to spot, as is the cameo by Andrew Logan. Sebastiane is well known for its relentless homoeroticism and male nudity, as well as the Latin language dialogue.

This is the original uncensored version of the video, which was shown as an outtake on the 1977 BBC show It'll Be Alright on the Night. The clip made the rounds in the U.S. as well, including TV's Bloopers & Practical Jokes with Dick Clark.
	Eddie's Teddy (10th Anniversary Convention) - 13 seconds (540x410, 30 fps, 1.5 MB). Little Nell sings Columbia's solo verse from Eddie's Teddy, live at the 10th Anniversary Convention. She's wearing a very cute red dress.

	Hot Patootie (15th Anniversary Convention) by Meat Loaf - 28 seconds (540x414, 30 fps, 3.2 MB).
