White flashes in the 90s music videos

Apparently in the 1990s and early 2000s there was an international trend of using repeated white flashes for artistic effect in music videos, particularly when shooting indoors, e.g. in Tarkan - Şımarık, Philipp Kirkorov - Ogon i voda, etc. (now seemingly less used). Is this effect mentioned/discussed somewhere? Brandmeister^talk 19:26, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Frog and Toad All Year audiobook

British actor Peter Sallis narrated an audio cassette tape titled Frog and Toad All Year which I believe was released in 1976 although being trying to find out if the audio cassette tape is available to buy anywhere. Matthew John Drummond (talk) 21:47, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The audio CD version (sold together with the book) is listed on Amazon (see here). Whether this is the Sallis recording or a different narrator is not mentioned. Copies might crop up on e.g. Ebay or similar 2nd-hand vendors, but cassette tape eventually deteriorates so the playability of one made almost 50 years ago would be iffy. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 94.1.223.204 (talk) 23:47, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
