• Eric Clapton -The 1960's Review | DVD | (13/09/2010) from £12.45   |  Saving you £3.54 (28.43%)   |  RRP £15.99

  While few would argue that Eric Clapton is one of the finest guitarists of all time it is sometimes forgotten just how pivotal influential and downright startling this man was during the 1960s. And while throughout the 70s 80s 90s and 00s Clapton has remained a musician and songwriter of rare ability with moments of glory resplendent on album after album it was during the decade in which he emerged that his awesome skills were used most creatively. As an early member of the Yardbirds a crucial part of the Bluesbreakers a founder member of Cream and the one who mattered most in the short lived Blind Faith EC to many really was a deity. In this extraordinary documentary his life and career throughout these crucial ten years is put under the microscope and with the help of archive interviews with the man himself exclusive contributions from friends band mates and colleagues rare and classic performance footage seldom seen photographs location and period archive plus a host of other features the story in question is told in a manner it never has been before.

• Jimi Hendrix Story | DVD | (11/09/2000) from £8.60   |  Saving you £5.39 (62.67%)   |  RRP £13.99

  If any artist deserved a hagiography it was Hendrix, and Joe Boyd's 1973 "authorised" tribute The Jimi Hendrix Story adequately sanctifies the legend. Perversely for a documentary, it achieves this simply by well-chosen concert footage rather than through the insights of the various talking heads. Pete Townshend, Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger, Lou Reed and Germaine Greer are all wheeled out to wax lyrical about their days with Jimi--but nothing is more eloquent than watching and listening to him play. From "Hey Joe" in grainy black and white on Ready Steady Go, classic footage of Monterey, Woodstock (yes, "The Star-Spangled Banner") and the Isle of White festivals, to an acoustic 12-string rendition of "Hear My Train a' Comin'", Hendrix the musician speaks for himself. But if Hendrix the musician shines through, this is not the most insightful profile of Hendrix the man: the circumstances surrounding his death, for example, are hardly touched upon (girlfriend at the time Monika Dannemann gets only a few seconds screen time). Interview footage with Hendrix himself plus some occasionally rambling and incoherent comments from such intimates as his father, army buddies, ex-girlfriends (including Linda Keith, who "discovered" him in New York and brought him to England) and fellow musicians all take second place to the music itself. The most sensible quote comes from Little Richard, who proves once and for all that he's utterly bonkers, when he says of Jimi's music: "At times he made my big toes shoot up into my boot." On the DVD: This is a dual-layer disc, with a widescreen (1.85:1) print on one side and a standard (4:3) ratio version on the other--although watching in widescreen is redundant, as the film is shot in 4:3 anyway. There are no extras other than a theatrical trailer (despite being advertised as such a menu and scene access surely don't count as "special features": what use is a disc without them?) --Mark Walker
