Yes, that's correct, if we speak about the original(!) album releases, and not re-releases with accompanying bonus material.

I stand by the opinion this is essential collection as it includes all the A-side original(!) promo videos released worldwide. Let alone later remix video versions that rarely do any artist video collections. I do know it's sad but that's the way music industry usually works. There's so much more to talk about, but that's subject for another thread.

I haven't listen to the cd yet but the dvd is amazing. Outstanding quality except for maybe "The Wild Life" which is slightly lower quality to me compared to the rest. Amazing to finally watch Bananarama with such clarity on a big screen tv. Keren is just stunning. A++++ on this release. The only sad thing as mentioned is that they didn't include "The State I'm In". Wish they stuck it in here as hidden video.

It was sad that a few videos were missed as everyone states especially 'The state i'm in' but i've found another which seems to be missing namely 'Mr Sleaze' which was included on the 'Greatest hits collection' VHS from about 1988 i think. I received my copy as many others did 3 days before release from HMV £10 signed and delivered. What value! I would've paid far more if they had made the CD a double to include about 40 singles. Missed a trick there IMO but at least we finally have that elusive Bananarama DVD with so many videos and in great quality too!

Yes, DVD is great. And it's NTSC Region 0.

I guess i should've also said there was a Greatest hits type megamix video or two also. And whilst the CD is lacking, at least it finally went up to date unlike all the others. Love comes was a great track and it was great that it made a Best of appearance so at least it will reach some new ears. I personally like Bananarama's less successful singles such as Aie a Mwana, Cheers then, Rough justice, Hotline to heaven, Do not disturb, More than physical, A trick of the night and Last thing on my mind. Just seen that megamix was called 'Multimix' and featured Cruel Summer, Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye), Shy Boy, Robert De Niro's Waiting and Really Saying Something, in that order. It also featured The Greatest hits VHS from 1988.

Totally agree with Neil Kelly's comments. It would have been nice to have a 2cd/dvd set as I too would rather have paid a little more to make it more complete. I love the early Bananarama so leaving it any video or songs from the first two albums is a bummer for me. Still super happy to have the dvd and to be able to watch the girls so clearly on the large screen tv. [:D]

Is their version of The Beatles Help on the DVD? I found a video to it on youtube and was just wondering if that was missing from the DVD as well as Young At Heart? There is a video to Young At Heart too,but I think it is missing off the DVD.And how about Boy Trouble?
