I didn't have any of these personally, but did anyone (or still do) own them? I know they made a Duran Duran one and a David Bowie one. Is there any others?

Never heard of them. What were they? Kind of a VHS video or something?

They were a VHS video that would have about 2 to 4 videos from a particular artist on them. For example, there was a Duran Duran "Girls On Film" one that had that video and a few others on it.

Sounds cool. Wish I HAD sen them. Probably would have bought them.

I have a few of these, but on laserdisc (not VHS). Thomas Dolby, Kajagoogoo (bought that one on eBay 2 years ago!), The Motels, Duran Duran, Martin Briley (you know, "The Salt In My Tears" from 1983!) and Wham!

I want the one from Missing Persons!!!

I never knew they made those on Laser Disc.

Why don't they release Videos on vhs, vcd(my preferred method), or dvd as they would a cd of the same artist. I'm sure when people buy a cd of the band they like, they would want the accompanying videos. I would buy all sorts of videos if they were released on dvd or vcd, (I hate vhs). I know they accasionally release video compilations but, I'm talking release them the same as they would the single, on a regular basis. Then maybe it would put Liberal MTV out of business! <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

Give them time and they will. They are already forcing people to buy DVD's. Every time I go into the video store the DVD section is getting larger. That sucks for me because I don't own a DVD player. <img src="frown.gif" border="0">

Did it have the song "Silent Night" on it? I think I remember seeing that in the store back in the day.

Yeah It Does Stacy, I Still have It In fact

I have two of the Sony Video 45's.

One is Whitesnake "Foreplay." "Here I go Again" plus three others I can't remember right now. All are done in a concert setting. Interesting is a line in the song 'Here I Go Again.' In the well known version it's "Like a DRIFTER I was born to walk alone." On this video it goes "Like a HOBO, I was born to walk alone."

The other is Berlin. It has five video's:
'No More Words'
'The Metro'
'Dancing in Berlin'
'Sex (I'm A...)'
'Now it's My Turn'

Unfortunately, music video compilations have never actually been all that successful on VHS. The failures really outweigh the success stories. The problem for me was having to fast forward through a tape to find a song in the middle.

DVD players are coming down in price - J&R Music World in NYC is selling players by a brand called Apex for $99! Music videos on DVD are really taking off, and starting to out-perform their VHS counterparts. I can't reveal much now, but I work for a major record company, and I am working on some DVD's of music videos right now! If we can get the "legal stuff" taken care of, I should be announcing some cool 80's DVD compilations before the end of the year! Stay tuned...

If you need any help deciding which videos to put on those compilations, just let me know.
