• Cactus - Live | DVD | (18/02/2008) from £21.02   |  Saving you £-15.03 (-250.90%)   |  RRP £5.99

  The first live Cactus performance in over 30 years was greeted by a wildly enthusiastic New York City audience. Filmed at B.B.King's Blues Club in Times Square the hard driving boogie based blues-rock band took control of the stage from the first note and never released their grip. The original Cactus (and Vanilla Fudge) rhythm section of bassist Tim Bogert and drummer Carmine Appice two names often celebrated more than the actual groups they were members of live up to expectation. Original Cactus guitarist extraordinaire Jim McCarty (Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels) rounds out the rock engine. The now deceased lead singer Rusty Day has been replaced with the more bouyant but still bluesy vocals of Jimmy Kunes and Randy Pratt has been added on the harmonica.

• Dinah Washington - the Swing Era | DVD | (03/03/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £8.99

  One of the most beloved vocalists of the past century DINAH WASHINGTON (1924-1963) was justly celebrated for her very personal singing style that was at home in all types of music be it blues jazz R&B or pop. In this respect she was gifted with an unmistakable salty high-pitched voice that was perfect for her complete clarity of fiction and her phrasing with strong roots in the blues. An artist who led a very turbulent personal life DINAH WASHINGTON was known for her no-nonsense unsentimental yet always moving renditions centred on the universal subject of lost love. It should come as no surprise that her unique vocal style exerted huge influences on jazz and R&B singers such as Esther Phillips Nancy Wilson and Diane Schuur.Gathering material from early in her career this video offers a fascinating picture of the young DINAH WASHINGTON at a time when she was mainly concentrating on jazzy torrid R&B numbers shortly after she had been discovered by bandleader Lionel Hampton. Featuring different clips and appearances (some of them at Harlem's legendary Apollo Theatre!) this is an essential document that will surely surprise and fascinate the many fans of the late great DINAH WASHINGTON. The DVD has been completed with a selection of soundies from Martha Davis Ruth Brown Dorothy Dandridge Sister Rosetta Tharpe and other female vocalists from the Forties and Fifties.(Includes 22 songs.)

• Beats Of The Heart - Rhythms Of Resistance | DVD | (12/03/2007) from £12.93   |  Saving you £2.06 (13.70%)   |  RRP £14.99

  Ladysmith Black Mambazo Malombo Johnny Clegg the Mahotella Queens and many more are featured in this compendium of black South African music. In the post-apartheid age of South Africa indigenous music that had been oppressed by the white rulers is finally allowed to be heard. This release is an emotional look back at the days in which this music was hidden - much of the footage was secretly even illegally filmed - as well as a celebration of music that is deeply political and transgressive.

• Madonna - Exposed | DVD | (28/10/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  As a shockumentary which supposedly reveals everything about Madge that she doesn't want us to know, Madonna Exposed backfires so completely it's actually good, but for all the reasons its producer-cum-host, the motor-mouthed showbiz hack Robin Leach, probably wanted to avoid. A no-trimmings release of a lowbrow TV production, the proceedings are set at a studio "party" in which a mish-mash of still pics and old demo tapes are paraded before an addled-looking audience. At intervals, various people who used to know La Ciccone are wheeled on to dish the dirt on her. Unfortunately there isn't any to speak of, so what emerges is a portrait of a hard-working, intelligent (she has an IQ of 140), psychologically complex showbiz professional whose energy, talent and commitment have brought her fame and fortune, all of which we knew already. However, all of the above means that the production nevertheless works rather well as another source of facts for her followers. There's a lovely quote attributed to Warren Beatty--"She's a nice girl, but you can't take her anywhere"--and plenty of unintentional humour, such as when her former school counsellor, straining to dredge up any early wacky behaviour on Madge's part, recalls, "there was a time when she didn't shave her legs". Like, omigod! Other "revelations" are that she didn't have any money in the early days, that she worked as a nude model to pay the rent, that she would occasionally shoplift and that she behaved in an affectionately flirtatious way towards female friends. No doubt there are first-year geography students with a similar lifestyle. What we do learn is how fascinating she was, how good she was at everything, how much respect she now commands and how much fun everybody had back then. All in all, then, a very enjoyable item for fans (and non-fans will inevitably find themselves on her side), but not the outragefest it claims to be. On the DVD: Madonna Exposed has a single bogus "special feature" on this 4:3 DVD: nothing more than a menu which directs you to the contributions made by the individual guests. --Roger Thomas

• The Skids Live 2010 DVD | DVD | (29/11/2010) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  In March 20210 Punk Legends The Skids reformed for the last time to play the famous Alhambra Theatre in Scotland. The Gig was the culmination of a months retrospective celebrating the music films and words of Skids frontman Richard Jobson. A sold out gig was caught on film by the team Jobson uses to shoot his movies. The result is a high energy performance that captures everything that was great about one of the best loved bands to come out of the Punk/New wave era. The film is intercut with an interview with Jobson on stage by crime novelist Ian Rankin.

• English Dogs - Psycho Killer | DVD | (28/08/2006) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Formed by drummer Pinch (who later went on to play with The Damned) in the early eighties the English Dogs blazed onto the punk scene with a hyper-aggressive sound. Their debut 12"" 'Mad Punx and English Dogs' (1983) was a critical and indie-chart success. Led by cult guitar hero Gizz Butt they became one of the most exhilarating bands on the scene. By the late 90's Butt had joined forces with The Prodigy and the English Dogs had reformed as Janus Stark. Released for the first time on DVD 'Psycho Killer' features two full gigs from the band. The first was shot at Castle rock Edinburgh 13 August 1994 when the band was a four piece. The second was recorded at the much-celebrated Holidays In The Sun Festival at Blackpool's Winter Gardens on 11th August 1996.
