Essential for EC fans and very entertaining for everyone else, this DVD contains all of the essential videos from the earliest days of the Attractions (i.e., beginning with the This Year's Model album -- the first album, My Aim Is True, is not represented). An absolute must is the commentary by Elvis Costello that accompanies the videos -- although he does talk over the music, his comments and reminiscences are so witty and entertaining that you absolutely must give them a listen, as they perfectly capture EC's dry, wry sense of humor.
I'm a fan of his from way back, but even my preschool sons found this video engaging and entertaining -- they actually ask to watch it!
