About Music Video Resource – Music Video Resource

Music Video Resource Pledge:

We want to be absolutely clear to anyone considering a purchase: integrity is fundamental to what we do. We are not here to mislead, exploit, or take advantage of anyone — including the artists, performers, and creative professionals whose work appears on these DVDs and Blu-rays. We hold the highest respect and genuine appreciation for the talent and effort behind this rare material. Our focus is strictly on preserving and making available hard-to-find music and concert content for collectors. We do not duplicate or sell titles that are currently available in retail stores, and we do not distribute films that are in theatrical release. If a title is commercially and widely available through traditional channels, we encourage supporters to obtain it through those official outlets. Additionally, we do not produce, distribute, or handle adult (X-rated) material of any kind.

Our mission is simple: to serve serious collectors responsibly, ethically, and with respect for the artistry behind the content.

On occasion, you may find a rare or alternate version of a title listed here that is not available through standard retail channels. However, you will never see us offering copies of material that is currently and readily available for normal retail purchase. Despite our polished presentation and professional standards, this is not a large corporate enterprise. We are a small, dedicated team of passionate collectors and researchers who serve fellow enthusiasts — fans, archivists, and historians searching for rare footage and hard-to-locate rare music, videos, archival footage, scarce documentaries, and performances that are otherwise unavailable. Our work is driven by genuine appreciation. We are deeply committed to preserving music history and making rare content accessible to those who value it most. This is done out of respect for the artists, admiration for their fans, and a shared desire to keep important performances and moments from being lost to time.

Simply put, MVR exists for the love of the music — and for those who understand its lasting significance.

While competitors charge higher prices for similar materials on auction sites, conventions, and magazines, they often hide high shipping fees and charge extra for DVD artwork. MVR offers competitive, transparent pricing with fair worldwide shipping, and all DVDs include artwork at no additional cost.

What distinguishes MVR from others in this space is simple: we are collectors first. We genuinely love music, and we care deeply about the quality of our products and the experience of our clients. Because we produce collections ourselves, we understand the importance of content integrity, presentation, and overall aesthetic value. A collectible should feel intentional — something you are proud to display on your shelf and revisit for years to come. That standard guides everything we produce. When you choose to purchase from MVR, you can do so with the understanding that our releases typically consist of rare material that is not otherwise commercially available and is believed to reside in the public domain. Our focus remains on preserving and sharing historically significant music videos, archival footage, documentaries and rare performances that dedicated fans would otherwise struggle to access. This is not mass-market inventory. It is curated material created with collectors — and long-term enjoyment — in mind.

What you are purchasing is not simply a disc — it is the culmination of our time, expertise, research, sourcing, restoration efforts, and careful curation, along with professional packaging and secure shipping. For a fair and reasonable price, we make our OVER 40 YEARS of curated music video collections — including our signature “Anthology” editions and “The Video Archives” along with “The Remasters Series” — available to fellow collectors who value rare and historically significant material. Each release represents extensive archival work designed to bring together content that is otherwise fragmented, unavailable, or difficult to locate. These DVDs and Blu-rays are offered strictly for private viewing, collecting, and research purposes. They are not intended for public exhibition, duplication, broadcast, or commercial use of any kind. We cannot assume responsibility for any use beyond personal collectible purposes, particularly without proper authorization from the artists, rights holders, or production companies involved. Our role is to preserve and curate rare music history for collectors. Respect for the original creators and their rights remains paramount.

Our mission is to assist devoted fans, rare-footage collectors, and television researchers in locating the material they have long sought — offered at a fair and reasonable rate. No rights are granted or implied with any purchase. All titles are made available strictly for private collecting and research purposes.

Thank you for your interest and support.

I have been an independent historian for 20 years and have yet to discover a personal video archive service that matches the experience, knowledge, and attentiveness of Music Video Resource. Not only did they go to great lengths to ensure I was able to obtain their materials in a timely manner, but once received, I was equally impressed to learn that much of my work had been done for me. The archival material was in chronological order, easily identifiable with an extensive segment listing, and was of surprisingly good quality. Having spent the last three years collecting a vast array of materials on the career of the late singer Robert Palmer, I was confident I had done so fairly sufficiently. But with the acquisition of MVR’s Video Archives collection, I realized how insufficient my archive truly was. My forthcoming book on Robert Palmer would be far less comprehensive if not for MusicVideoResource.com. Historians must rely on rare strokes of good fortune to do their work well, especially when acquiring invaluable original documentation. I am privileged to have had the good fortune of having found MVR. My work and, most importantly, the audience it will serve, are all the richer for it.

All record companies offer music videos to the public free of charge. However, these videos are intended for promotional and research purposes only, and are essentially “worthless” outside the realm of sentimental value and or general research. They are merely produced in an effort to increase CD and Vinyl sales for that particular artist or band featured.
