This DVD is essential for any punk or Pistols fans. It includes the ultra rare 1976 promo for 'Anarchy In The UK', something I've only ever seen short clips of before. This promo is worth the money alone!
We also get the 1977 promo for 'God Save The Queen'. The only thing that lets this release down is not including 'Pretty Vacant'. We do get the 1996 Finsbury Park video for it though.
All the PIL promos are here from 1978's 'Public Image' to 1992's 'Covered' including the uncensored 'The Body'.
The other must-have on here is the Time Zone video for 'World Destruction'.
A fantastic DVD collection. Worth every penny!

Excellent DVD, But It's Not NTSC, It's PAL Format!

I bought this excellent dvd when it came out from AmazonUK. Although I live in the USA, I have a multi-region dvd player that plays dvd formats from anywhere. Be warned - there never was a USA-friendly version of this dvd - I checked everywhere, unless someone's burning copies on dvd+r or something.
That being said, the visual and audio quality here is great - some really nice early Sex Pistols promo clips rarely seen, and the same with the early PIL promo clips. It's really nice to have everything collected here in one place. Highly recommended!!
Remember - the dvd being sold here is PAL format, All Regions. Not NTSC. It drives me nuts to see misinformation like this.

For all the crazy antics, the Sex Pistols and Public Image Limited mostly took a conventional route of a pop band to "market" their music and this DVD - part of a John Lydon retrospective series (that includes a 2-CD and one CD collection) - demonstrates that quite loudly.
There are 18 music videos (two from the Sex Pistols - including the original EMI version of Anarchy in the UK - and 16 from PiL and Lydon's solo projects). The Sex Pistols are also featured in a trio of live video tracks from their critically-acclaimed shows in 1996 and 2002 (Pretty Vacant - Finsbury Park, 1996; Bodies - Phoenix Festival, 1996; Silver Machine - Crystal Palace, 2002) and PiL receives an audio "boost" through the inclusion of three unreleased "monitor mixes" (Death Disco and two versions of Albatross).
This is a solid visual and historical look into the work of the iconic punk/post-punk bands from Lydon's perspective on center stage.

AMAZING !!!

All of Public Image Limited videoclips compiled onto one dvd + a lot of cool extras that are unavailable anywhere else like a live song from Sex Pistols first reunion gig in 97 at London's Finsbury Park and another one from same year's USA tour in Phoenix, with THE most amazing pic and LPCM audio quality. It delivers it by means of a generous picture bitrate on a double-layer DVD.
Starts off with 2 mimed SP's songs at Top Of The Pop or some of those TV brit shows followed by 16 PIL videoclips, all of which are conceptually brilliant and even when I'm not a big fan of their every record/phase I loved listening to these the videoclip versions. The sound on the cds is not perfect as it's here. Plus the audio would seem to have been normalized for this released since I practically didn't have to touch the volume knob (loud BTW).
Another bonus are 3 studio audio outakes/remixes from Albatross and another song I can't seem to recall, with an average duration of 10' each.
My only complaint with my copy was that the menu didn't work well, I had to work my way around it to be able to access all of the content, and could not return it because I'd bought it in another city.
