These pics are from some issues of The Young Physique I sold some years back, keeping just a couple of scans. I think they were published from 1958 through 1968. And over here: Meet the boyish beefcake of Young Physique magazine.
Sometimes I read (and answer) my reader’s email! Probably all this talk about Steve Taylor has the Universe converging on him, as this exact scene was mentioned in a post yesterday, just before I got this email.
subject: i hope you can help me!
Hi!
I hope you can tell me what video this pic is from?
that’s all i have is a pic. i hope there is a full video or at least a scene with this pic!
thank you for your reply,
GB
Dear GB,
awesome pic you’ve found! It’s Derrick Stanton, from the film Performance, with an “assist” by Steve Taylor (Al Parker’s partner). Both Al and Steve are in the audience for the performance above, and you’ll also see them in the below clip. I believe the video is available at Bijou Video.
Performance
directed by: Steve Scott (1981)
Starring: Nick Rodgers, Mel Chor (aka Melchor), Shawn Victors, Jim King (aka J.W. King), Derrick Stanton, Chris Kopay, Bob Moore, Dean Barey, Tony Vose, Kurt Jacobs, and introducing Steve “12” York and Le Cocq. (plus cameos – can you see them in the audience?)
wish I had a better quality version of this picture. but such a hot couple! You may remember them in William Higgins’ The Boys of Venice and Nova Films’ Head for the Showers, as well as Marine Set Up; I think McAlister was in only one other film, part of Cosco’s Earth Man series, Call Me Ruf and Ready – I think I have one of the Earth Man magazines and have posted a pic or two. (McAlister was known as John Towers in all but the Higgins film).
and before i get lectured again, I no longer confuse Butch McAlister with Butch Barnes!! (Butch McAlister = John Towers; Butch Barnes = Rick Masters)
who you remember from such films as Weekend Lockup (1978), Inches (1979), Wanted (1980), Al Parker’s Flashback (1981), Dangerous (1983), and Oversize Load (1986)

not an official video release, and not sure I care for the video as a visual for this beautiful beautiful song, but how long did you think I could hold out not posting Bjork-related stuff now that the new album is out? such an amazing opening song to this great new album!
from Sex Magic (1977), atop (or across from) director Jack Deveau‘s apartment building
from Kansas City Trucking Co (1976) with Richard Locke, of course
from Hot House (1977) with Roger, of course
So, the other night I am out, and the DJ puts on Cerrone’s Super Nature, and I go into an early 80’s acid flashback to sitting in the Bijou Theater in Chicago, trying to figure out the first time I heard the tune, knowing it was most definitely a gay porno movie. No matter how hard I tried, I could only guess that it was most likely from a Nova Films movie, but which one?
So last night I zipped through the above videocassette, which contains 3 NOVA FILMS shorts: Caught in the Act (starring Buddy Preston, Joe Fuller, and Sam Hall – who catches the first two “in the act”); Young and Ready (starring Rusty Evans and Dino D’Angelo); and finally Policeman’s Ball (starring Guy Tait and Nick Coxe) – nope, plenty of overdubbed voices and disco-y music, but no Cerrone.
Then I tried How I Got The Story, (a collection featuring How I Got The Story, with Michael Christopher and Beau Matthews in a very hot pairing) and other than being irritated by the annoying music for the first feature (you’ll notice some disagreement on that note in the comments over here); and the second feature, Double Deal, with Jeff Wells and Mike DeMarco, which seemed to have a “dub” or instrumental version of a William Higgins’ theme from Members Only or These Bases are Loaded; and finally, Photo Play (with Quinn Curtis and Adam Stuart) – nice fashion show of clingy tiny clothes, before they give up on the pretense of a photo shoot and get into the sex, with various Casio-sounding tinny themes, then something with a drum, but alas, no Cerrone!
this is gonna take awhile, but fortunately for my time (but not my collection) I don’t have all the Nova films – but what if it’s not in a Nova Film, but maybe a Higgins??? Aaaarrrggghhhh!
(wish I had this original VHS and packaging; i have the crappy “Midnight Men” reissue that cuts off at the end!
