this compilation, put together by the chain's ultimate record deal provider of the time, warner bros. is a collection of their early "hits." it takes you through psychocandy, darklands, barbed wire kisses and automatic. its unaltered, and shows the videos how they were to be directed. there are even a few done by jim. the most visually pleasing and band inspired video is that for 'kill surf city.' if you;re looking for something more check out some bootleg videos with interviews, live performances, etc.. they are out there!

This appears to be a newer release of the JAMC video collection (the ISBN is not identical to the one I own), featuring videos that appeared long ago on MTV's 120 Minutes (back when MTV showed *videos*), and others that never made it to our shores.

Tracks include all the hits (Head On, Blues From a Gun, Sidewalking, Happy When It Rains) and songs the old school fans wish they'd play at concerts...not as good as seeing them live, but well worth the money. END

I had purchased this video when it was originally released. I just wanted another copy and couldn't find one until now.

Great video collection and an awesome group.
