Re: Divinyls Greatest Hits DVD?

I have the entire GP and special on tape. Finding it is another story.

Re: Divinyls Greatest Hits DVD?

To Jason

Hi Jason

I have the Spandau Ballet DVD mate, you can't get it anywhere now, not for a good price.

So if you want it just let me know.

It has 17 Awesome Quality Videos, and PCM audio quality.

So Just let me know mate?

Re: Divinyls Greatest Hits DVD?

I indeed want the Spandau Ballet DVD... I have the original VHS and I was going to put it to DVD, but now I may not and just get the DVD... I will follow the link and i got maybe from you?... on this Forum and but it . Clips from the first 2 albums on crisp DVD quality is like a dream...

Over rage playing :"True"in the New Romantic section!!!

HELLO "Instinction" or "The Freeze" would have been more appropriate!

And do NOT get me started with ther Culture Club/Boy George selections!!!

Re: Divinyls Greatest Hits DVD?

Yeh True is a nice song but sooo overplayed.

The early experimental clips are great..Paint Me Down is a good one.

Gold will always be the peak though both song & clip wise.

Re: Divinyls Greatest Hits DVD?

To Jason again

I will send it to you anyway, so you can see the quality. And if you never receive it from Amazon at least you will have a copy.

I will also send over the OMD one if you like?

Lee

Re: Divinyls Greatest Hits DVD?

A real gem was the Rock Arena episode from 1983, a couple of years back on rage, when they featured Spandau Ballet clips, INXS & Ultravox.

Re: Divinyls Greatest Hits DVD?

Jason, you mention a Billy Idol greatest hits DVD.Is this available in Australia? Have been looking for ages but can only find the Storytellers DVD.Was wondering if you could tell me what it is called and where you got it. Cheers

Re: Divinyls Greatest Hits DVD?

Hi Jase, I think it's only an American and UK release at the moment. It's called 'Idolize Yourself', but if you order it, make it sure it's the one with the dvd.

Here is an Amazon uk link:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Very-Best-Billy-Idol-Yourself/dp/B00195HVUW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1232185787&sr=8-3

Re: Divinyls Greatest Hits DVD?

I got my Billy Idol CD/DVD from America! of course, OZ is crap to find anything!!! Unless you order from www.redeyerecords.com in Sydney, which is brilliant ***

Re: Divinyls Greatest Hits DVD?

I have to say that I hav enjoyed listening to the Divinals track: Sleeping Beauty of late. I like it best out of all their songs..

Re: Divinyls Greatest Hits DVD?

Thanx guys. I've always avoided buying anything online so it looks like i'm about to make my first purchase. Wish me luck

Re: Divinyls Greatest Hits DVD?

EMI is going to release one of Essential CDS which it is...The Divinyls on Saturday but the same record label haven't enough time to make and release Divinyls Greatest Hits DVD with all their videos, live performances, extra bits and pieces,etc. but I still got to be patient for this.

Re: Divinyls Greatest Hits DVD?

EMI had release one of Essential CDS about The Divinyls in music and other stores across Australia yesterday but the same record label still haven't enough time to make and release Divinyls Greatest Hits DVD with all their videos, live performances, extra bits and pieces,etc. but I still and still got to be patient for this.

Re: Divinyls Greatest Hits DVD?

This Essential release would make it the 4th best of Divinyls release so far. The last one came out a year or so ago. I had a listen to the American CD re-release of 'Desperate' and i had forgotten how good the album was.

Re: Divinyls Greatest Hits DVD?

I bought Billy Idol CD/DVD package by order from overseas at a music and video store in my hometown yesterday after the same music and video store ordered it from overseas by delivered to me yesterday.

Re: Divinyls Greatest Hits DVD?

In the wake of the release a CD/DVD set called "Mental as Anything - Essential as Anything: 30th Anniversary Edition" by Mental As Anything, which one the best type for the music video clips by The Divinyls to put? DVD, DVD/CD combo or CD/DVD combo?

Re: Divinyls Greatest Hits DVD?

Do you think Divinyls will make a DVD with all their videos, live performances, extra bits and pieces,etc. which it was a best-of/greatest hits/complication DVD next year,to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the band's formation, the year after to coincide with the 30th anniversary of Boys In Town single or about 2012 or 2013 to coincide with the 30th anniversary of Monkey Grip movie or Desperate album?

Re: Divinyls Greatest Hits DVD?

I don't know when Divinyls are going to make a DVD with all their videos, live performances, extra bits and pieces,etc. which it was a best-of/greatest hits/complication DVD next year as Chrissy Amphlett are going to do perform in Australian Rock Symphony tour also next year, it's taken me for a long time.

Re: Divinyls Greatest Hits DVD?

This year, Divinyls is now celebrating its 30 years of its formation but there only one question, do you think they will make a DVD with all their videos, live performances, extra bits and pieces,etc. which it was a best-of/greatest hits/complication DVD next year,to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the band's formation this year?

Re: Divinyls Greatest Hits DVD?

Do you think Divinyls will make a DVD with all their videos, live performances, extra bits and pieces,etc. which it was a best-of/greatest hits/complication DVD this year,to coincide with the 30th anniversary of Boys In Town single? Come on, everybody!

Re: Divinyls Greatest Hits DVD?

Do you think Divinyls will make a DVD with all their videos, live performances, extra bits and pieces,etc. which it was a best-of/greatest hits/complication DVD this year,to coincide with the 30th anniversary of their appearance in Monkey Grip movie with their mini-album of the movie's soundtrack? Come on, everybody!

Re: Divinyls Greatest Hits DVD?

One would hope so!...
When I saw this link I thought the news may be that it's abut to get released and I got so excited but no go it seems :-(

Nich PLEASE sign my petition and all here!!!

Re: Divinyls Greatest Hits DVD?

Do you think Divinyls will make a DVD with all their videos, live performances, extra bits and pieces,etc. which it was a best-of/greatest hits/complication DVD this year,to coincide with the 30th anniversary of their first and debut album, Desperate? What's if Divinyls' albums are going to be reissue with bonus tracks just like Icehouse?

Re: Divinyls Greatest Hits DVD?

'Desperate' would be fantastic if they released that in CD/DVD (like Icehouse) to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of its release, but they better hurry up, because it has just passed or about to.

Re: Divinyls Greatest Hits DVD?

Where should I'm going to get this copy on DVD?

Re: Divinyls Greatest Hits DVD?

I'm now having a petition now and it's about calling Warner Music Australia, EMI/Universal Music Australia and Sony Music Australia to make and release Divinyls DVD featuring all of the music videos, live performances and extra bits and pieces.
Please sign up with my petition at www.change.org/p/warner-music-australia-emi-universal-music-australia-sony-music-australia-make-and-release-divinyls-greatest-hits-dvd, this is a legacy of Chrissy Amphlett.

Re: Divinyls Greatest Hits DVD?

Someone I regularly trade with put together a comprehensive Divinyls DVD set a few years ago; probably similar to the one someone here paid for (though he doesn't sell them, so it wouldn't have been from him). There are are a couple of clips I contributed to it that were sourced from official (various artists compilation) DVD's - 'I Touch Myself' and 'I'm On Your Side', I think. I uploaded the 'I'm On Your Side' DVD rip to youtube, but it doesn't show up when you search for those terms, unfortunately, so here it is:

I also re-synced my VHS copy of 'I'm Jealous' from rage (a video they appear to have since lost) with CD audio here:
