This is a nicely put together retrospective of music videos, interviews, and live clips. Anyone who loves Belle & Sebastian will enjoy getting a closer look at the people behind the music and the history of the band.

Pretty Nice From a Rather Elusive Band

February 26, 2005

Format: DVD

Keep in mind that this band doesn't necessarily do a whole lot of interviews. Magazine articles are fairly scarce compared to the more "popular" bands of the past ten-or-so years. With this said, one kind of has to go into watching this DVD with a sense of peeking-in on a group that simply makes music because they love doing so.

Much of the DVD is more or less a montage of clips: previously released and scrapped music videos (probably) and amateur shots of the band at work and at play. While there really is no definite line between one part of the DVD and the next, there is a definite flow present that doesn't detract from a fan or new listener enjoying the DVD. Songs are interrupted by the occasional interview clip or shot of the band doing their thing in the studio or out on the town.

There really isn't an all-too-boring part of the disc, it's all intriguing and enlightening. A band who's created a name for themselves via their clever music shouldn't go overboard with all the extras and special additions that most "best of..." and "greatest hits" DVDs of other bands would have.

I think "Fans Only" is presented in such a way that separates B&S from their peers in the sense that if you enjoy the band, you'll enjoy the smearing and blur that the whole presentation has. They've kept their music solid and smart over the years and consistency is a strong point they possess. The brilliant blend of music, dialogue, footage and video comes across as being very personal and distinct: much like their music itself.

I would have given this five stars, but I really, really, really think they should have waited a while after "Dear Catastrophe Waitress" to make it. I would love to know how the band approached their latest release and see some background behind it. Watching Trevor Horn work with the group would have been a major help in understanding how that particular album works (and sadly doesn't work!).

Glorious portrait of a glorious band

October 31, 2004

Format: DVD

In the late 90s you were beyond hip if you were a fan of this

obscure Scottish indie band. I did not hear of them until 2001

but became an instant fan of their lush, melodic, 60s inspired sound after buying several of their albums. This DVD finally puts a human face to the somewhat mysterious group, and that face is warm, gentle and high-spirited throughout its length. It's amazing to witness the group camraderie shown in the behind-the-scenes footage here; you wonder if they have ever got into an argument in their lives! This makes the overall mood very peaceful, but by contrast the music is very vital, diverse and alive. It is fantastic to have all of the videos and so much vintage live footage collected here into a seamless whole. The charge that the DVD is disorganized or hastily put together does not seem to makes sense; I found the selection of footage and editing very seamless, which created one very unique overall

style. Highlights include a rollicking "Boy With The Arab Strap" live in Los Angeles, the ethereal "Lazy Line Painter Jane", the would-be retro-60s smash "Legal Man" (in both the promo version and a Top Of The Pops appearance), the oh-so-hip "Dylan At The Movies", the sensitive "State I'm In" and a curious Brazilian late-night talk show interview in which the band tries their best at singing in Portuguese. None of these moments are to be missed, at least by fans, which makes the title of this package very appropriate.

Captivating for Fans (and even non-fans)

March 9, 2004

Format: DVD

This DVD is an absolute essential for any Belle & Sebastian fan, but it could be enjouyed by those crazy, non-belle and sebastian fans. My fiance was not a fan and was often irritated by their music accusing it of being "bubblegummy going to the mall music." never understood such a harsh and totally untrue comment, but that was his opinion. But we watched For Fans Only together and he now very much appreciates their music and the colorful personalities that make up the band. This band, unlike so many, has so much depth and talent. i mean how many "singers, rock stars" or whatever they're calling themselves today can play one instrument, let alone several? it is lighthearted, informative for fans, the videos are great, and these elements all culminate into being a film that will become a classic in the rockumentary genre, if it hasn't already.

A good gift for Belle and Sebastian fans

December 18, 2003

Format: DVD

I really enjoyed this DVD because although I have
been a big fan of them, I knew very little about them. Having no cable TV or high-speed internet, I've never seen their videos, let alone knew what they look like. In some sense this DVD reintroduced me to the band that I have always loved. It tells the band's history, its members, how they write songs and lots of other things. I've always like them because they make great music, and watching this DVD make them even more loveable because I have a little more insight to their ideas, their environments and surroudings. Plus, I did not know they are all so good-looking people! I like the live shows the most so I wish they'd put more live footages in the disc. Overall I think any Belle and Sebastian fan would enjoy it, and it's the kind of DVD I do not mind watching more than a few times.

Wonderful

First off, stop putting down Fold Your Hands, Child... That album is, in my opinion, B&Ss best.
Secondly, this is a wonderful glimpse into the band's life. Why not?!
