I had never heard of Rump magazine before I found this. I imagine it was pretty short lived. But they sure did pick a nice ass for this cover, in the form of Phil Bradley. Phil seems to have some difficulty emoting in print media, but his movies are generally great. He's versatile, and looks good in both roles.
Phil was the subject of an early amateurish video project of mine, one that would make very little sense to the kids of today. You see, by grad school my VHS porn collection took up a considerable amount of space. It was first a bag in my closet, then a suitcase under my bed, then finally a trunk at the food of my bed. Despite constant thinning of the herd (throwing away the less spank-worthy porn), I was always running out of space. Also just looking at the sheer volume was depressing in that it reminded me how much money I was spending. So one day I get the idea to buy an analog/digital converter and do some porn consolidation. DVDs, if nothing else, are easier to store.
My first "project" was ambitiously titled "The Best of Phil Bradley Part 1", which combined Phil's scenes from "Barnstorm", "Sex Crimes", "Someone is Watching" and "Hart Throb". While a good idea, I realized too late that there was a mismatch of the audio and video tracks by a few seconds and dropping to the signal here and there, leading to unwanted jumps in the picture. My to my dismay, I had already tossed out the bulky tapes, and a few of them were no longer in print. So now I am left with an imperfect record of some of my favorite scenes. You be amazed how annoying the mismatched grunting can be.
