• Tony Palmer - All My Loving | DVD | (10/09/2007) from £11.27   |  Saving you £1.72 (15.26%)   |  RRP £12.99

  All My Loving was created when John Lennon and Paul McCartney challenged Palmer then a classical music documentarian to make a film that encompassed the 1968 music world in one hour of screen time. The film includes clips and interviews with the likes of The Beatles Jimi Hendrix The Who Pink Floyd - who had just lost Syd Barrett - Cream Donavan Frank Zappa and Eric Burdon. The film explores music with the idea that everyone demands heroes and these heroes were going to change the world through the power of their music. This was the time of student demonstrations against the war in Viet Nam. The music describes this movement with a bitterness too deep for words alone. The music becomes an escape from the troubles of the day.

  Jimi Hendrix--Live at Filmore East along with a Band of Gypsys was an album recorded live to fulfil a contractual obligation for a long-forgotten deal Jimi Hendrix signed when he still spelled his name "Jimmy". Hendrix had just disbanded the Jimi Hendrix Experience and, in order to dispense with the album as quickly as possible, he put together a new trio featuring Billy Cox (an old Army buddy) and drummer Buddy Miles, whose bombastic singing and thudding drum style would soon pollute FM airwaves across the nation. (Former Hendrix drummer Mitch Mitchell refers to him here as "William the Concreter," for his cement-mixer sense of rhythm.) They booked the Fillmore East with the idea of recording the shows for a live album, with Hendrix at the top of his powers (despite Miles's excesses). If you've only heard the album you've only gotten half of this particular Jimi Hendrix experience.--Marshall Fine

• Jimi Hendrix - Rainbow Bridge | DVD | (25/09/2000) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £8.99

  Previously unavailable in its full uncut length, Rainbow Bridge mixes the psychedelia of late 60s counterculture with its foremost musical hero, Jimi Hendrix. Shot a mere three months before the guitar god's untimely death in 1970, the story is built around Hendrix's final live performance at the Rainbow Bridge Occult Meditation Center on Maui. Straddling concert footage of Hendrix (backed by drummer Mitch Mitchell and bassist Billy Cox) is the story of actress Pat Hartley, as she travels to Hawaii and meets a group trying to establish a new alternative community. What should be immediately noted is that the actual footage of The Jimi Hendrix Experience fills only a fraction of the running time. That said, Hendrix and co deliver suitably exciting renditions of such classics as "Purple Haze" and "Voodoo Chile", which will more than satiate passionate Hendrix fans. Elsewhere, there's a plethora of trippy visuals and lots of hippie's droning on about higher consciousness while smoking marijuana (funnily enough). Still, the DVD version has the helpful option of excising all that nonsense. Otherwise, this is a satisfying if unfortunately padded glimpse of a true musical icon. --Danny Graydon

• Superstar | DVD | (22/01/2001) from £13.48   |  Saving you £-3.49 (N/A%)   |  RRP £9.99

  Superstar is a big-screen vehicle for Molly Shannon, the latest comic from the American sketch show Saturday Night Live to have a movie built around her. She isn't exactly funny--in fact, she's a little unsettling. Her creation, the neurotic Catholic schoolgirl Mary Katherine Gallagher, invites laughter because she's a little too close to the bone for anyone who grew up feeling ugly and unloved, which is a lot of people. Mary lives with her grandmother (Glynis Johns), who insists that Mary study business. Mary herself yearns to be famous and admired, though for what isn't exactly clear; she envisions some vague combination of singing, dancing, and acting that will make her a superstar. A talent show promises to be her ticket to stardom (the winning prize is a role in "a movie with positive moral values"), and she won't let her loser status or any hostile cheerleaders stand in her way. Meanwhile, Mary acts out dating fantasies with trees and signposts, envisions the school lunch room bursting into a Fame-like dance number, and longs for the biggest jock in school. What makes Superstar more than just a collection of bad high school memories is that, though the formulaic plot redeems Mary, the movie as a whole isn't so sure. Mary completely loses herself in her obsessive fantasies--many inspired by cheesy made-for-TV movies--but there's always someone watching, aghast, as Mary acts out her inner thoughts. Is she misunderstood or freakish? Superstar never commits to one side or the other, which makes it both comic and uncomfortable. --Bret Fetzer, Amazon.com

• Classic Albums - Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland | DVD | (10/09/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £8.99

  Can an effective episode of Classic Albums be produced when its subject's creator has been dead for more than a quarter century? Perhaps surprisingly, with Jimi Hendrix--Electric Ladyland the answer is yes. With Experience members Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell, additional musicians on the order of Steve Winwood and Dave Mason, manager Chas Chandler and engineer Eddie Kramer telling much of the story, Hendrix still stands front and centre in this hour-long examination of the making of his most ambitious release, the 1968 double LP Electric Ladyland. The series's usual centerpiece--isolating parts of the multitrack tapes to illuminate the whole--is invaluable not only in demonstrating Hendrix's genius for building performances in the studio, but, by extension, implying how the music coming out of his head reflected his heart. The result is possibly the most moving documentary about Hendrix, and certainly one whose rare bits of film (such as a promotional clip for "Burning of the Midnight Lamp") make it even more invaluable. --Rickey Wright, Amazon.com

• The 27 Club | DVD | (26/03/2018) from £7.49   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison all died at the age of 27 between 1969 and 1971. At the time, the coincidence gave rise to some comment, but it was not until the death of Kurt Cobain, about two and a half decades later, that the idea of a 27 Club began to catch on in public perception, reignited again with the death of Amy Winehouse in 2011. The 27 Club represents just a few of the many well-known singers and musicians who died at that age and this film looks at the phenomenon and tries to understand why these particular stars are so mythologised and celebrated and why indeed their lives ended when they did. Through interviews with musicians, critics, medical experts and featuring unseen footage, the film investigates the lives, music, and artistry of these lost icons, forever frozen in time at the age of 27.
