A couple of months ago, I bought a Split Enz DVD... absolutely fascinating viewing featuring about 18 video clips (1976 - 1984), live footage (some taken from BBC TV), a documentary, rare early interview footage and even a surprise rare video clip that you can easily miss if you don't have a good eye for detail. It's a very well made DVD and certainly one of the most fascinating DVDs that I have bought recently. The only criticism I have is that it doesn't feature all their video clips. The band made almost 30 video clips between 1975 to 1984 and sadly, this DVD doesn't feature:

Spellbound (1975)
Famous People (1979)
She's Got Body (1979)
I Don't Wanna Dance (1981)
Never Ceases To Amaze Me (1982)
Next Exit (1983)

Worth buying other Split Enz video compilations for completion.

Thanks for the tip. My friend got it recently and we watched a bit of it with his region-free/PAL-NTSC DVD player. Great stuff. I, too, am a bit disappointed they didn't feature all the video clips, although a couple surfaced on the HISTORY NEVER REPEATS

I think the DVD has been released in the states, judging from it being mentioned in the AllMusic.Com.

I do wonder why there has to be different DVD players for different regions!

I see! Well, I will keep my eye out for the different region codes for now on. I'm out on a hunt for music DVDs and I know there are some European ones that I might need to import!

Thanx for the information!

The Ultravox DVD is listed at Amazon.com.uk as being Region 2, much to my dismay, as I'm here in the States. I've always liked their videos (especially "One Small Day"), and it would've been nice to have this one.

I just ordered my Split Enz DVD from Whammo.com. The ones they sell are PAL only, but there is a seller in Australia on ebay who is selling them in the NTSC format. Strange. Anyway, my DVD player can play either so that's no problem.

Does anyone kn
