the unseen eighties, 7 November 2003

the smiths were one of my favorite british bands (next to suede, followed by the manics and blur), and the video 'the complete picture' perfectly captured the flavor and imagery of the smiths and their songs.

the dvd version contains 12 songs including 'the queen is dead' and 'there is a light...' in a derek jarman short film (which they say was a prophetic foretelling of princess diana's death), and the classics 'this charming man' and the boy with the thorn in his side.' the contents of the video will be enough for a true smiths fan, but it is not enough for people who want more. there are beautiful songs such as 'please please please...' and 'hand in glove' which are not in this compilation but are worth listening.

all in all, the video is a great addition to any smiths collector's memorabilia, but it lacks.
