"Very similar to that series of DVDs,this one includes unreleased footage on well known bands as well as more obscure acts.Half of the tracks have good sound and can be cranked up and the other half are interesting to watch.Some are very well shot promo clips from the early 80's and most are surpringly (and wisely) extracted from festivals from 96-04,for either lack or earlier footage or the benefit of better,well shot,nicer and better executed and sounding versions of the current line-ups of the bands.The Exploited's UK 82,live in Japan is a teaser for the complete gig + the Buenos Aires 93 one that's going to be released late this year.Bands like Disorder, The Skeptix,Broken Bones, Discharge, GBH, Abrasive Wheels, Vice Squad,Varukers (30 in all) give this DVD a unique historic value for the hardcore punk rocker. Weird thing on this DVD and not uncommon among Cherry Red releases is a channel imbalance with treblier and louder sound on the right channel practically throughout the whole disc and a not very accurate TOC that can get very annoying.All in all a good buy and a nice piece of history on briti hardcore punk.
Best if you read the book of the same name before (or after for that matter."
