"Gypsy" video to be released on DVD
 

Three episodes of the VH1 Classic series 'Music Video Exposed,' are being released on DVD in June. Each disc is supposed to contain 11 videos, as well as interviews with the artists and the featured director.

Here's a link to the Russell Mulcahy disc, which features "Gypsy":

I wish they had asked Armond White to do the liner notes.

OMG Gypsy on DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :] :] :]

I'd rather see it on a Stevie or MAC DVD collection!:nod:

Yeah, like Stevie's Crystal Visions DVD/CD combo...

Mick wouldn't have let that happen. ;)

YES. I am so ready to have this in good quality.

I, too, think it would be really nice (and good $$) for FM to release a DVD compilation of their videos.

Well, you know, being a film director I often wonder if he actually shot the video in widescreen, and if so, we've never actually seen that version.

You can fit about 13 music videos on a DVD, a la Stevie's Crystal Visions DVD which has 13 music videos all w/commentary by Stevie. Actually its a 1 CD, 1 DVD set.

Fleetwood Mac could very well do something like this. Release a 2-disc set, a CD mix of studio and live songs and DVD containing all the Mac music videos with commentary by Mick, Stevie, and Lindsey (I doubt John/Christine would be interested). Add a few hidden gems (like the making of Bella Donna on Crystal Visions) and there you go!

The "videos" for SYW were woeful. What a missed opportunity! :(

And give us that "Making of Gypsy" and "Making of Big Love" footage they had too.

I've accused Mick of being mercenary, but he really must not be because they're so many sources of income they haven't tapped. It's like when their marketing people get together their first and last brainstorming idea is to repackage Rumours somehow.

Michele

Ooooh! I didn't know about those! Yeah put those on there!

tell dave stewart to tell stevie, stevie goes and tells mick, mick makes a deal with warner brothers!

It's very possible to do this, in fact it is!

Reba Mc... (my spelling sucks at the moment) released a two DVD set of all her music video's a few years back. Is she thru Warner Brothers?

According to wikipedia, her last album (Nov 2010) was w/Starstruck/Valory which seems to be part of Universal Music Group (UMG).

Edit: Actually UMG is the distributor. She's with Big Machine Records.

I just flashed back to those '91 radio interviews where she bashes him over "Silver Springs". "He does NOT know what he's up against.":lol:

- Jake

haha! yeah well, looks like he won that battle ;)

and they should release largo 1979, and the cleveland show 1980, on dvd!

can you IMAGINE the RTTG video clip?????? :eek:
or EFO with a FULL orchestra and just recorded live

I wonder if anybody here bought it. It would be great to have a clear copy of "Gypsy" on Youtube.

...though it probably wouldn't be long before it would be taken down. :shrug:

Hey guys I actually got the DVD. The quality of "Gypsy" is amazing! Before I had only seen it on youtube and now with the DVD I feel like I'm actually there! Also there's a really good extended interview with Mick that is amazing...:xoxo:. He gives some good insight into the making of the video and what it was like to be on set. I don't know how to upload from a DVD and I'm not sure how much of the quality of the DVD would be retained. However, I would be happy to upload it if someone was willing to tell me how:nod:. If anyone has any suggestions let me know.

That's great that you got the DVD! I'm sure somebody here can help in getting it on youtube. Quality might be affected, but I've seen some fairly high quality "old" videos on youtube. :cool:

That would be great!! I would love to share it with you guys. I feel a tad guilty having the quality of the video all to myself :p. But seriously if anyone knows how to do it feel free to PM me and hopefully I can figure this whole uploading business out :thumbsup:

Is it widescreen?

Widescreen is when there are two black lines on the top and bottom correct? If that is the case then this must be full screen because it has two thin black lines going up and down the sides.

The video is in its original full-screen 4:3 aspect ratio, but the documentary is in widescreen.

None of the videos appear to be remastered, but "Gypsy" definitely looks the best I've ever seen it. The image is sharper and the colors more vibrant, even in comparison to the archival copy I have.

"You's gonna buy this DVD. Capiche?"

(Hmm, I think I'd better leave the captions to SortaSavageLike!)

lol!!! No Imma notta.... cossa I want all da videos....:D

I'm a huge fan of Elton John, but does why does he get three videos on this compilation? Aside from Gypsy, Fleetwood Mac's Hold Me video should have been included. It's equally as good as Gypsy.

It's something, along with other projects, that they could have done during the long time-spans betweeen albums. But, no!:confused:

Elton John is featured in the documentary, but his clips aren't among the full-length videos. The list Villavic posted has more videos than are actually on the DVD (well, at least on the US edition).

Here's what's included:

1 The Buggles - Video Killed the Radio Star
2 Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart
3 Culture Club - The War Song
4 Duran Duran - Rio
5 Duran Duran - Wild Boys
6 Fleetwood Mac - Gypsy
7 Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes
8 Queen - A Kind of Magic
9 Spandau Ballet - True
10 Spandau Ballet - Chant No.1
11 Ultravox - Vienna

"Hold Me" was directed by Steve Barron. VH1 did do an episode of 'M.V.E' that focused on him, but for some strange reason they didn't discuss "Hold Me."

That's my biggest frustration with Fleetwood Mac. I may not like those long waits between albums, but I understand it. What I don't understand, is why they don't make the most of that "down time." Remastered albums, a boxed-set of rarities, a video compilation, DVDs of archival concerts.... the possibilities are endless, but completely untapped.

Stevie did it for her solo videos, so why Fleetwood Mac won't or can't is beyond me.

Oh don't worry, they will. They've made it quite clear that they are not that interested in making new music together, but they would love to tour. Being that they already toured in 2009 with nothing to promote, I wouldn't be surprised if a greatest hits cd with a DVD containing all of their music videos came out in 2012. They've been saving all this **** for times like these.
