Amazon.co.uk Review

Just as their two greatest hits collections have proved what an unsung contribution the Beautiful South have made to British music, so The Very Best of documents a fine video history. Never one to take the obvious path, this collection is light on the black and white, slow motion school of video making, instead stuffed full of clever, witty and ingenious clips. It charts the band's career from first single "Song for Whoever", through their massive chart success and ends with the lesser seen work of recent years. Always able to produce visuals worthy of their music, highlights nevertheless include the wedding of "Let Love Speak Up Itself", the cartoon of "How Long's a Tear Take to Dry" and the memorable "A Little Time". Also included are two live tracks from their Jools Holland special. Off screen, the band's history was to be equally fascinating (as documented in Mike Patttenden's superb Last Orders at the Liar's Bar), but this is a must for anyone with a passing interest in a wonderfully unique band.

On the DVD: The Very Best of The Beautiful South on disc has excellent sound and picture quality, but the main selling point of this package is the audio commentary from Paul Heaton and Dave Rotheray that accompanies each clip. As might be expected this is refreshingly honest (several of the videos are given a severe critical lashing) and very, very funny. It also provides an added insight into the band's history, particularly their approach to the whole business of being pop stars and the complicated internal politics that have affected them over the years--the constant jibes at ex-vocalist Briana Corrigan do wear a little thin after a while. Uniquely then, a music DVD that is just as entertaining with the music turned off. --Phil Udell

5.0 out of 5 stars A Solid bunch of Promos, 10 Sep 2002

By	B. Mullan "The Suitable Mouth" (Downpatrick, NI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It's a shame, what with the capabilities of the new DVD technology, that Universal saw fit to release a Beautiful South compilation without any features!

However - Solid is a collection that no fan of the South can be without - it REALLY is definitave. EVERY single (all 27) is featured on this Collection - those with no promo video get a live acoustic outing!

A great chance then to see the less famous videos for Liar's Bar, Closer Than Most, Pretenders To The Throne et al.

Some of the cleverest videos will appeal to almost anyone from Song For Whoever to Dumb. I know which DVD in my collection will be played on repeat mode for weeks!

Absolutely Solid!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Real music to munch on., 28 Oct 2002

By	"michael_rutherford" - See all my reviews

Despite the title given here, the title of this superb collection of Beautiful South videos and live performances, is actually Munch. A much more interesting title. The cover art is designed by the same artist who did the 0898 era covers. The excellant cover art is not let down by the DVD itself either. Most of the videos are excellent quality and are funny. The sight of Dave as a cinema girl and rugby player in 36D is not to be forgotten.

This DVD makes you realise why the Beautiful South are such a popular band. Sales of Solid Bronze showed how popular they are but sadly this DVD was "limited edition". Buy it online here! Chances are you may never get the chance to see it in the shops. The videos you'd be lucky to see anywhere else either.

The only disadvantage to this DVD is the lack of digital DVD features. The commentry is very good, and in its own way, quite humerous, but apart from that, there are no other extras, quite different to most DVDs around. Many, myself including, thought we'd get to see extra live performances of songs, but nevertheless, still an excellent collection of videos along side two TV appearances.

Overall- buy this. It is a must see.

5.0 out of 5 stars At Last, 8 Nov 2003

By	"stupage2002" - See all my reviews

Yes at last, a definitive dvd / video collection of this bands hits, I bought it as soon as it came out, If you like the Beautiful South then this is for you !!!, this traces the videos all the way through the bands history with early hits such as "a Little time", with Briana corrigan up to fantastic songs such as "Perfect 10" with Jacqueline Abbot before her sad departure from the band last year. fantastic 5*****
