Definitive Declan...
This lengthy set kicks off with all 27 of EC’s promo videos, dating back to 1978’s (I Don’t Want To Go To) Chelsea and running through in chronological order to 1994’s 13 Steps Lead Down. All the hits, including Accidents Will Happen, and misses are here.
It’s a great insight into both pop and pop videos of the era, and also an excellent history of the eclectic singer/songwriter/pop wizard. Much craziness, cheesy images and decent pop tunes.
This is far more than a valuable insight, it’s a good introduction too, and of interest to more than the hardcore fan. It even brought me back some memories!!
Add on a colour booklet and 70 minutes bonus of rare TV footage, from The Tube to several exclusive European performances, it’s all you ever really need by EC, Attractions or otherwise.
