1974 NABBA MR. UNIVERSE - THE SHOW
Digital Download.
The 26th NABBA Universe contest was staged at the wonderful New Victoria Theatre situated in the heart of London, on Saturday, 21st September, 1974.
This DVD includes Amateurs and some Professionals with solo posing and some group posing by the biggest stars such as Roy Duval, Chris Dickerson, Ian Lawrence, Ron Thompson, Warren Frederick, Pete Caputo, Bill Richardson, Elias Petsas, Bill Trotter, Helmut Riedmeier and many more. *Please note that the solo posing of Roy Duval was lost.
Overall winners Chris Dickerson - Pro (left) and Roy Duval - Amateur are pictured front cover. Rear cover photos highlight the battle between Chris Dickerson and Pro runner up Boyer Coe. It was a very close thing with Chris coming out on top by the narrowest of margins.
Shot on film by Wayne Gallasch and digitally transferred to DVD with background music added. Being a long contest, only the highlights have been captured on film and this is not a 100% complete coverage of the whole event, amateur and professional. It is however the only film record.
