Summary: Every Moz fan's dream!
Review: ...[The] sound quality is ever-so-slightly sub-par. It's barely noticable unless you have cheap-o speakers like myself! A good majority of the videos included are just plain fun, regardless of the fact that the visuals have little to do with the actual songs. However, there are some really nice moments here; times where you almost forget that you're watching a mainstream video compilation and begin analyzing the subtle textures and deep, pained symbolism Moz always possesses on-camera. Not as good as The Smiths' video compilation, but pretty durn perfect for the Morrissey fan.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Most of Morrissey
Review: A fine, but unfortunately incomplete, collection of Morrissey's videos. The sound and picture quality are stellar: I can finally make out the title of the book Morrissey's reading in the "Suedehead" video. The "subtitles / lyrics" feature is a great idea, allowing the viewer to read along as Morrissey sings---though it occasionally lends a strangely karaoke feel to the proceedings. I do wish this DVD were a truly complete, definitive collection, though. Some videos, such as the odd "Alma Matters," are truly missed.

Summary: Not bad Sunny!
Review: A well thought out collection, although a few extras would not have harmed anyone. Includes much un-seen video 'Seasick...', which acompanys the song particularly well. Could only think of a couple of videos missing from this collection, though generally, a dvd worth owning.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great DVD
Review: I really enjoyed the DVD. I enjoyed seeing the videos of the past.
His early stuff really tapped into The Smiths roots. The Smiths will be missed...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Morrissey Lives!
Review: I think this dvd is great the only problem i have is oujia board was not on here. Technically I would have rated this 3 Stars but i truly love morrissey. I really hope the Hulmerist Will come out on dvd it has interviews with his fans and it is more artistic. It also only has his old videos which i enjoy the most.That dvd would get a whopping 5 stars. Anyhow this dvd is recommended for morrissey fans and to those who love the 80's.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: not recommended

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: correction
Review: it does have My Love Life. It also features Will Never Marry put overtop of the stage-invasion montage from "Introducing Morrissey" (instead of Seasick)

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: missing a couple vids
Review: It leaves out "Our Frank", "Ouija Board", "Certain people I know", "Alma matters" and the never-released (but known to exist) "Hold Onto Your Friends" video. The only new thing, is the never-before-shown 'Seasick' video. It also features "Will Never Marry" put over top of the stage-invasion montage from "Introducing Morrissey".

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not for the dabbler
Review: Let's face it-- most of the videos on this are pretty boring. Modern music videos have upped the bar a lot, and these don't have a lot of fancy editing or artistry (with the exception of "The More You Ignore Me," his mainstream hit.) But why should you, the devoted Morrissey fanatic, care? This DVD contains exactly what you want, and that is LOTS and LOTS of footage of the Mozzer, looking beautiful, weird ("November Spawned a Monster"-- Morrissey in a black mesh shirt and lots of eyeliner, doing a funky Michael-Stipe-esque dance in the desert), or entirely absent ("Sunny"). Thankfully the videos in which he doesn't really appear are few in number. There are extreme enough close-ups for you to notice that he has unusually long lower incisors. There are cute snippets where he can't help laughing at the antics of his band mates. It's enough to make up for the painfully low-budget (c'mon Moz, you make a lot of money, spend some of it) or totally 80s look of a lot of the videos. Therefore, you, the true apostle, must own this DVD.
