20th Century Masters- The Best of Alternative 80's.......2005-04-06

This disc only contains 5 videos but very good videos and songs.
Its a pretty good price and worth it if you are looking for a certain video from the past.

Videos-
1.Buggles- Video Killed the Radio Star from The Age of Plastic (1980)- said to the best first video debuted on MTV.
2. Soft Cell- Tainted Love from Non-Stop Erotic Caberet (1981)
3. Tears for Fears- Everybody wants to rule the world from Songs from the Big Chair (1985)
4.The Fixx- One thing leads to another from Reach the Beach (1983)
5.ABC- Poison Arrow from The Lexicon Of Love (1982)

Those are the videos as listed in the order on the DVD, but for some reason my DVD had Tears for Fears as the fifth video instead of the third like it says listed. Overall small collection of some groundbreaking videos of the 80s.

tainted indeed.......2004-08-18

A word of caution: the video for "Tainted Love" on this collection is NOT the original 1982 clip (or version), but one of the many 90s remixes instead. Sure, Marc Almond still appears in it (didn't watch it long enough to check for Dave Ball); nonetheless, the substitution should have been clarified on the packaging. The other videos are worth owning (particularly the more-prophetic-than-we-ever-imagined "Video Killed the Radio Star") but are all available on other, more extensive collections (to the best of my knowledge).
