For the past 25+ years I've been attempting to piece together the perfect video anthology. I remember going to my 1st record show in Chicago in the early 80's and finding a VHS tape that had a bunch of Floyd clips on it... The Look of the Week, Scarecrow Promo, Apples & Oranges. About an hour's worth of videos all in horrible quality. But I was intrigued by the aspect of other rare material being out there while trying to find the best quality of each clip. The digital age has helped a lot.
HRV released its 1st anthology in 2003 as a 3 DVD set. A couple of years ago MOB and I decided to make a list of all known video clips identifying the best source for each one. Having some time on my hands I pieced together a 5 DVD set that was only shared between a few friends. MOB and I thought that we would "release" something like this when Blu-ray became standard and we could compile all of these 5 DVD discs, plus some bonus material, onto a couple of Blu-rays. But Blu-ray still isn't quite as widespread at the moment.
Recently I had some more time on my hands and we decided to reinvestigate the anthology since so much new material had surfaced recently. So we created a new 5 DVD set and, with a little bit of coaxing, MOB felt that it was time for this to be shared on Yeeshkul.
Don't expect to find anything new on these discs, it's all been out and shared freely. For us it's all about the presentation of the material; the quality of the video and audio, and how it's all edited together into a unique viewing experience. In many cases when the band is miming to a studio version of a song we used the studio version for the audio. Purists may not care for this but there is always the original to enjoy.
After 25 years I think I finally have something that I'm fairly happy with. Please enjoy our work and share it freely wherever it's allowed. Make some copies for your friends! And offer a copy or two on the HRV weeding group... it's still around.
Enjoy!
