"Actor: Brian"

• Tribute To Burt Bacharach And Hal David | DVD | (19/11/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  The Royal Albert Hall provides an appropriately regal backdrop for A Tribute to Burt Bacharach and Hal David, recorded in July 2000. They are "one of the greatest song writing partnerships in the history of popular music", says compere Johnnie Walker. A parade of international singing talent proceeds to demonstrate the elegance and deceptive complexity of pop songs which haven't merely stood the test of time--if anything, they've grown in stature; a succession of mini epics describing emotional journeys through sophisticated lyrics and melodies. Now that it's cool to like them again, young performers are queuing up to sing them, with varying degrees of competence. Here, people like Shola Ama and Lucy Silvers seem overwhelmed by the occasion. Not so comedian Brian Conley. His considerable ego is more than enough to fill the hall but he's too busy loving himself to bring anything new to "What's New Pussycat". It's left to the showbiz legends to provide the classiest moments: Petula Clark, Sacha Distel ("Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head") and Elvis Costello ("I Just Don't Know What to do With Myself"). Then, like a gracious aunt, on comes Dionne Warwick and effortlessly shows everyone how these songs are really done. With Bacharach himself at the piano she slips into "Walk on By" and the years fall away. Watch out for Hal David joining the final line-up for a sing-along "What the World Needs Now"--a magic moment for any true pop fan. --Piers Ford

• The Rolling Stones - On a Roll - Starting up The Rolling Stones | DVD | (10/06/2013) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £11.99

  The Rolling Stones are one of the greatest and most influential rock bands of our time having sold in excess of 200 million records worldwide. This fascinating programme tells the story of the early days of the band and how they became The Rolling Stones we know today. Jagger and Richard were childhood friends becoming reacquainted in 1960 at Dartford Railway Station due to their love of music. Later meeting Brian Jones who in 1962 went on to form The Rolling Stones. The story of the early Stones is very much a tale of how Brian Jones forged the band with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and became a key catalyst in the creation of their early sound. But whether it was the pressures of early fame or through his addiction to drugs his role in the band became untenable. Even though he is credited as originally forming the band he was eventually over shadowed by Jagger and Richard and his role gradually diminished until in June 1969 he was asked to leave. Less than a month later and under questionable circumstances he was found dead in his own swimming pool believed to have taken his own life. Using performance footage and rare interviews footage with Brian Jones Mick Jagger Charlie Watts Keith Richards and Bill Wyman as well as The Stones Manager (1962/67) Tony Calder and Brain Jones' former partner Pat Andrews this in depth programme provides a fascinating insight into the original formation of this incredible super group during their first decade. The programme concludes at the staged event in Hype Park 5th July 1969 which became recognised as a memorial concert to Brian Jones. This DVD is a must for all music and Rolling Stones fans.

• C.H.U.D. II - Bud The CHUD | DVD | (08/10/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  In Bud the C.H.U.D. a couple of high-school kids loose the cadaver for the next day's science experiment, then hit on a plan to steal a body from the local hospital to replace it. Unfortunately what they don’t know is that the hospital is home to a rather more sinister and dubious military trial, the sole remaining C.H.U.D (Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller), who has been cryogenically frozen after the experiment went horribly wrong. Unwittingly they thaw Bud the C.H.U.D, who has the rebel-boy charm of James Dean and the personal tastes of Hannibal Lector. Bud then lumbers off on a cannibalistic rampage infecting everyone he munches on (including the family dog) and turning the town into a whole army of C.H.U.Ds. Only the Colonel (played with great melodramatic gusto by Robert "Napoleon Solo" Vaughn) and the kids who unleashed him can save the town from a fate worse than death. This tongue-in-check schlock horror movie is worth watching just for the late-80s nostalgia, the performances are clichéd and the plot wafer thin, but the humour hits the spot and Brian Robbins as the eponymous Bud positively eats his way into your heart. On the DVD: the DVD is unfortunately devoid of any special features other than a filmography and the film stock has a kind of graininess that comes from being low budget (rather than purposefully art house). It won’t be to everyone’s taste but you can’t beat the pure entertainment factor of a cannibalistic poodle. --Kristen Bowditch

• Violent Femmes - Live At The Hacienda | DVD | (08/10/2007) from £18.88   |  Saving you £-5.89 (-45.30%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Available for the first time on DVD vintage live footage of cult alternative heroes Violent Femmes. The textbook American cult band of the 1980s the Violent Femmes captured the essence of teen angst with remarkable precision; raw and jittery the trio's music emerged as the soundtrack for the lives of troubled adolescents the world over. The group formed in Milwaukee Wisconsin in the early '80s and comprised singer/guitarist Gordon Gano bassist Brian Ritchie and percussionist Victor DeLorenzo; After being discovered by the Pretenders' James Honeyman-Scott the Violent Femmes signed to Slash and issued their self-titled 1983 debut a melodic folk-punk collection which struck an obvious chord with young listeners who felt a strong connection to bitter frustrated songs like ""Blister in the Sun "" ""Kiss Off"" and ""Add It Up."" The album remained a rite of passage for succeeding generations of teen outsiders and finally achieved platinum status. The band temporarily split in the mid-1980's but reformed in 1989 and have been touring and recording to the present day - still loved by their ever loyal fanbase around the world. ""Live At The Hacienda"" features two full shows from the band at Manchester's famous Hacienda nightclub in the mid-1980's
