Apart from the `Commercial Breakdown´ and the `Blue Emotion´ video, has any material surfaced? I know there's a video of Secrets as it was on youtube for a while but the recording was rather bad and had problems with the picture throughout. I wonder if there are promo videos for the rest of the singles A-Sides.

I have a clearer version (not perfect) of the Secrets video from Fiat Lux but to be honest with you, there's no way I can get to it right now. Most of my collection is packed away in boxes cause we don't have enough room for me to take them all out. [:(] One day, when I move to a bigger place, I will unpack everything. Anyways, I think that video and the Musikladen appearances are all I have too.

Why have you told me? Now, I'll be forever waiting for you to unpack those boxes...[:D]. If I had a chance to get that footage on my HD, I'd easily come up with a remastered version and you wouldn't know how it could stem from the VHS...
I wish people would rather share instead of trade all this stuff. For the time being, I can only offer my experience with my video editing tools.

The only videos they did were for Secrets and Blue Emotion.

I've got a copy of Secrets from an in-store promo video which although the full video (unlike the one thats on YouTube which has parts re-looped) the sound does dip in places. I'd have to dig it out. As far as I know, it was never commercially released.

The Blue Emotion video is on the 'Don't Watch That, Watch This' compilation video (and Japanese LD).

Other than that there is the usual 'Commercial Breakdown' video. The original version of the video was made for the UK Channel 4 television programme 'Mirror Image' which had most of the Commercial Breakdown video bar House Of Thorns inter-cut with interviews with the band.

TV appearances consist of 'Blue Emotion' on the German TV show Musikladen and on UK programme 'Old Grey Whistle Test' which has 2 live recordings (can't remember what they are off-hand)

I think that's all. There may be some more live recordings made for local TV about but I'm not sure.

Good to hear from you again kopite. I've been trying to reach you as I've an ad for Blue Emotion you might want to put on your webpage. I wish you would make these videos available for me. I have the Blue Emotion video in excellent quality and also the Commercial Breakdown footage. If I had the VHS or even a good file (150-300 MB)of the other footage, I could make a great DVD of it. The sound would be no problem, as I could exchange it. But you hardly know me, so sending me the VHS on the promise of returning both Tape and DVD safely to you is out of the question, I guess, is it?
Anyway, thanks for the information. And let me know about the ad.
