Disappointing many are saying!

I'll buy the set just for DVD. It's much more definitive than the "Video Collection 1984/1990" VHS from 1990 that omitted the "Run From Love" video which was a cardinal error.
The DVD certainly is not a perfect video collection itself either, as it don't include a few other as key videos, but taking that Edsel had just album singles videos in mind, I'm satisfied with it.
I've been waiting for years to get the Bronski Beat/The Communards/Jimmy Somerville videos oficially on DVD!
The 1986's "Truthdare Doubledare" album recorded by a different line-up should be released as a CD/DVD deluxe set that would include the "Hit That Perfect Beat" and "C'mon! C'mon!" videos.

The DVD looks ok. What videos are missing. The only one I can see from the London years is By Your Side, if there was an actual video for that?

A replier on the SuperDeluxeEdition site pointed that 6 major videos were missing. So... :

- "The Last Infanta" with UNO released by Barclay (now owned by UMG)
- "From This Moment On" on the "Red, Hot & Blue" Compilation released by Chrysalis (now owned by WMG)
- "Dark Sky" from the album "Manage the Damage" released by GUT Records
- "Something to Live for" from the album "Manage the Damage" released by GUT Records
- "Lay Down" from the album "Manage the Damage" released by GUT Records
- "Here I Am" from the album "Manage the Damage" released by GUT Records

Well you don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to work this one out. Most of those videos are owned by Gut records and from the album "manage the damage". I wouldn't say those are major videos since the album was a flop. The rest are rare songs from compilations.

Yeah, I do get what you are saying. But still, there are some people who want those videos to be a part of the collection as well. To make it complete in all that sense, you know.
