• Procol Harum - Live At The Union Chapel | Blu Ray | (12/09/2011) from £24.05   |  Saving you £-7.06 (N/A%)   |  RRP £16.99

  Procol Harum are one of the select group of acts who had a No.1 hit with their first single, the enigmatic “A Whiter Shade Of Pale”, a song which continues to hold a fascination for music fans of all ages. Filmed in high definition in the atmospheric surroundings of London’s Union Chapel in 2003, this concert was part of the tour in support of their album “The Well’s On Fire”. The setlist features tracks from that album plus classic hits from across their career now looking and sounding better than ever before on Blu-ray.

• Great Composers - Vol. 2 - Beethoven / Wagner | DVD | (25/02/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £17.99

  The second volume of the BBC's excellent Great Composers series consists of two hour-long episodes devoted to Beethoven and Wagner respectively. The format in both cases is that of a standard "life and works" biography, but what makes these episodes so attractive is the high quality of the visual material and the engrossing nature of the insights offered from the contributors. For example, it's fascinating to hear the lead violin of the Lindsay Quartet discuss the personal significance of a certain Beethoven phrase just after Charles Rosen has drawn a parallel with the composer's use of form and the speeches of Robespierre. If this makes the whole project sound as wholesome and dull as dry muesli, everyone also seems alive to the human idiosyncrasies of the subjects: we learn, among other things, that the utterly humourless Cosima Wagner used to keep her husband's eyelashes and carry them around with her in a bag. The musical excerpts are both performed--by the Berlin State Opera Orchestra and other groups--and filmed with panache. Kenneth Branagh narrates. All in all, a good introduction to both composers.--Warwick Thompson

• Golden Earring Radar Love | DVD | (26/09/2011) from £6.73   |  Saving you £-1.74 (-34.90%)   |  RRP £4.99

  Golden Earring are probably the most famous and certainly the most successful rock band ever to come out of Holland. Founded as a pop band in 1961, they moved to a hard rock style in the late sixties and since 1970 have had an unchanged line-up. This concert was filmed for the German TV series Rockpalast at the Sartory-Sle in Cologne in June 1982. The band were riding high on the back of their US top 10 single “Twilight Zone”, which had hit the charts earlier in the year. The setlist covers the full range of Golden Earring material from all out rockers to melodic ballads and the show proves what an outstanding live act they were and still remain. Track List: 1) Candy’s Going Bad 2) Leather 3) No For An Answer 4) Heartbeat 5) Save Your Skin 6) Future 7) Vanilla Queen 8) Twilight Zone 9) Radar Love 10) The Devil Made Me Do It 11) Slow Down 12) Buddy Joe 13) Back Home 14) I Need Love 15) Just Like Vince Taylor
