Summary: A Truly Must Have for Sade Lovers
Review: 1st Off Big thanks To" jazzbrat from SoCal, USA " Read his review its first rate.

I was undecided for the longest on buying this DVD of Sade Video's. As I only remember seeing a few of them back in the mid 80's. I'd given up on watching MTV and VH1 to see any of Sade songs a long time ago, All THEY do is recycle the same Singers who have little or NO talent BUT, Look good on screen, You Know the ones I'm talking about.

But I was very Surprised by the Videos Sade had done since Her 1st album, If you Compare them to other artist's music videos, she'd win an Grammy for Class Act. The Sound & Video Quality is excellent and mixed well for the 5.1 Dolby crowd. You will also love the lyrics placed in small lettering so as not to detract you,, That are Timed with her singing. A great idea for as much as I love, her music there were one or two words in her songs, that I had no idea what she said.

Don't pass this DVD by,, It also has a Bonus video from her New Lover's live album, 'By Your Side' song. The bonus section also has a Biography

Summary: Collector's Item
Review: Any fans of Sade and her music will find this a perfect companion to their collection especially since this DVD contains the 80's videos that made her famous. The videos are straight from the original analog videos without enhanced video quality but the sound is great. The videos play one after another with barely noticeable fades between them.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good Stuff
Review: Aside from absolutely loving this music, I am always enthralled when I watch Sade sing: her look, her voice, her moves ... all so enchanting. I'd be inclined to give this DVD a 5-star rating, but I can't since I've already seen the "Sade Live" disc, which I consider to be virtual perfection in a musical performance DVD. Overall, "Life Promise Pride Love" rates a "5" for music and sound quality, and a "3" for the videos.

THE MUSIC. Timeless and still moving. I dig the songs more now than when they first hit the airwaves back in the 80's and 90's. There's a good balance of hits representing the first four albums: three each from "Diamond Life" and "Promise," and four each from "Stronger Than Pride" and "Love Deluxe." There's also a bonus hit, "By Your Side," from the most recent album "Lovers Rock." As Sade fans can well understand, it's hard to tire of this alluring music, especially in 5.1 (fantastic!).

THE VIDEOS. While this compilation makes a great addition to anyone's musical DVD library, I have to admit that I was a bit underwhelmed by the outdated storylines and mediocre production quality in several of the videos. No surprise really: the first ten tracks are vintage 80's productions, with the most common settings being bars, nightclubs and casinos, occasionally frequented by a cast of underworld characters or other mystery men (whatever). As far as I can tell, the videos are ordered chronologically, and both the production value and creativity improve as you keep watching. Most are in color, but the four b/w videos are especially noteworthy for their artistry: "Never as Good as the First Time," "Nothing Can Come Between Us," "Cherish the Day," and "Feel No Pain." Directors Sophie Muller and Brian Ward chalk up the most video credits with five and four, respectively.

DVD FEATURES. Nothing extravagant, consisting simply of a discography, biography, and a couple options involving the displaying of lyrics.

All things considered, this would be a worthwhile purchase for just about anyone.

Summary: I can watch it over and over......
Review: Every video in this tape is beautiful and of high quality, Sade is mesmerizing. If your a Sade fan and don't have this video, you are truly missing out. Sade, please come back..........

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent sound, some technical problems
Review: I agree with the previous reviewer about the 5.1 mix -- truly well done. I would listen to this without the TV off just to enjoy the surround mix.

I do note some synchronization problems on my copy on my dvd player, though this may be a function of my player. It only happens on a couple of tracks, only on the 5.1 mix, and it is very subtle (just a slight offset between the video and the audio). The stereo mix syncs perfectly. I also note a problem with the track indexing when listening to the 5.1 mix: If I use the skip track button on my player, I end up missing the first second of some of the tracks. Once again, this does not happen with the stereo audio. Whether these glitches are a function of the disc or my player, I'm not sure.

Summary: Absolutely Wonderful
Review: I have had this DVD for about a week now and I can't stop watching it! SADE is such a diverse band and this DVD covers all of their amazing videos to the T. You can really see the progression of the band in the videos shown on this DVD. From "Your Love Is King" to "Nothing Can Come Between Us" to Cherish The Day", Sade Adu seems to get more beautiful.(Stuart Matthewman, Andrew Hale, and Paul Denman are cute too :) This is a must for SADE fans!
