Customer Reviews of Pure 80's: The DVD
A SLICE OF 80's COTTON CANDY I was happy to find this video slice of 80's cotton candy. While most of these videos are not "classic clips" (the exception being The Buggles because it was the first one aired on MTV), it's a nice addition to my musical DVD collection. I remember seeing all of them over the years with the exception of this version of "I Can Dream About You". The one I'm familiar with is the one that is made up entirely from Streets Of Fire film clips. While Night Ranger and Asia seem out of place here, my big question is : who did Tears For Fears sleep with to get 2 videos included here. All in all, a great collection from the past. I can only hope that there are further volumes in the works. Pass the remote please.
It's hard to go back
I had been away from home and had no access to a television from 1979-1981. When I came home, my parents had cable, and I discovered MTV.
This was before Michael Jackson electrified the nation. The VJs played a lot of Madness and clips from Elephant Parts. My first favorite video was the Little River Band's The Night Owls, but I digress.
Perhaps Pure 80s should be called "Mid 80s New Age." Most of the videos in this collection of the post Madness/Pre George Michael variety.
As fairly early attempts at a new medium, the videos in Pure 80s are flawed. The music and production values in the two Tears for Fears selections are great, but videos are dull. "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" is a great song, but watching the guys sing and drive cars...
There are no breakthrough videos in this collection, no Billy Jean, no Jenny I've Got Your Numbers, no Jesse's Girl--all videos that helped shape the art form. (I claim not expertise--just deep nostalgia.)
Many of the songs in this collection bring back good memories, however, so it is hard to complain.
If you want a random sampling of good songs, this is the perfect collection. If you want something more, keep waiting. MTV has to release a "Year's Best" collection some time... I hope.
pass this up
The idea of classic 80's videos being available on DVD is great, but this isn't worth getting.
