Released to coincide with the 20th anniversary of his death this DVD was Dels last filmed concert appearance (Sydney 1989) and features Del and his band in an excellent hour-long performance. Del performs many of his own compositions plus other songs he loved to sing. From his first hit the unforgettable Runaway to one of his last songs Walk Away Del gives it his all. Includes all of his classics from Swiss Maid and Do You Wanna Dance to Black is Black and (Can't Get No) Satisfaction. Del kept a huge following in the U.K. which continues to this day and this DVD is a fitting tribute to a great artist singer and songwriter. The famous critically-acclaimed rocker who picked up where the doo-wop groups of the 1950's left off is the man behind many of those implacable classics that people find humming to themselves. Shannon also appeared on a variety of TV programs including Shindig! (1965) Hollywood A Go-Go (1985) and Late Night With David Letterman (1986).

A low-rent horror flick from the early 1980s, Of Unknown Origin completely misses the mark in the scare stakes and instead comes across like a grisly, live-action version of Tom and Jerry. Our inept hero is the ambitious, house-proud executive Bart Hughes (Peter Weller), who is left alone by his wife and son to complete a business proposal only to discover that he is sharing his apartment with a mischievous giant rat. Unable to trap or poison his foe, Hughes quickly descends into nightmare-haunted madness and thus the stage is set for a suspenseless battle of wits that is less cat-and-mouse and more idiot-versus-rat. Finding an angry rodent swimming in your toilet might be a pretty unpleasant prospect, but cinematically speaking it's far from terrifying. Created using jerky point-of-view shots and creature effects that range from incongruous real-life footage to button-eyed glove puppets, the rat is an unthreatening villain, despite Weller's best efforts to react in abject horror when he finds the corners of his mail nibbled or his dry groceries spoiled. There are some unsuccessful attempts to make Hughes' plight more immediate to the audience by references to real-life rat problems--he visits a library to research his enemy and finds some disturbing photographs of rat-attack victims and subsequently ruins a dinner party with a genuinely unsettling rant about infestation and plagues--but it's difficult to feel sorry for him when he can't even muster the tenacity to track down a professional exterminator. By the time Weller gets caught in one of his own traps, you will probably be rooting for the rat anyway, and might take some pleasure from a ridiculous denouement in which, dressed in full battle-gear, he completely destroys his beloved apartment by clumsily chasing the elusive vermin with a nail-studded baseball bat. Gore Verbinski's genuinely hilarious Mousehunt did it with a lot more charm. On the DVD: Of Unknown Origin comes to DVD with a basic selection of extras. An entertaining commentary from Peter Weller and the likeable George P Cosmatos III does the film a lot of favours, even if their efforts to talk up its importance as an allegory for man's struggle against nature using comparisons with The Old Man and the Sea, Moby Dick, Alien and Jaws fail to convince. Added to this is the theatrical trailer ("If it doesn't scare you to death, it WILL find another way!"), a choice of languages and scene selection. --Paul Philpott
Jane Bradford (Lois January) moves from a small town to a large city and is turned into a cocaine addict by drug running gangsters. When her brother Eddie (Dean Benton) arrives in the city he too becomes addicted and forces his girlfriend into prostitution in order to support their habit. Similar in style to Reefer Madness this has become something of a cult classic with the underlying message being ""There always will be Jane Bradfords until you Mr Citizen co-operate with the forc

Charles Westover changed his name to Del Shannon because his birth name 'had no ammunition.' He played guitar and sang in Michigan nightclubs until he was discovered by record company executives. He moved to New York and recorded Runaway in 1961; his distinctive falsetto and guitar work made the song an international hit . Shannon had a string of hit songs in the early 1960s and throughout the '70s and '80s he continued to record and produce albums. In 1990 Shannon recorded a comeback album with Jeff Lynne of Electric Light Orchestra and was concurrently being considered to replace Roy Orbison in The Traveling Wilburys after Orbison's death. However sadly on February 8 of that year Shannon committed suicide. Tracklisting: 1. Hats Off To Larry 2. Handy Man 3. Swiss Maid 4. Pretty Woman 5. Crying 6. Black Is Black 7. Little Town Flirt 8.
