Review by Bill Wolford
Added: August 11, 2012
Formed in 1982, Jettisoundz video label marked the beginning of the video era for dozens of independent bands. This DVD contains 50 promo videos from various bands during the labels tenure. It has been rumored that there will be a second volume, but this has not come to pass yet. As for this DVD, it reminds me of the very early days of MTV, when cheap camera gimmicks and live looking videos were the way to go. If you're interested in guerrilla film-making, and you have a taste for indie and U.K. punk bands, this DVD will be very addictive. More mainstream music lovers won't find a lot to cheer about here. The more adventurous listener might find a new band or two that they can become fans of.

Here is the entire tracklist, so you can determine if this is something you want to try out, or not.

With a running time of about three hours and twenty minutes, you'll find yourself immersed in the addictive nature that was early 80's classic MTV. The quality and sound of this DVD mirrors that time period very closely as well. If you're willing to take the chance, there are some jewels on here to be found. 5/10.
