The Church Goldfish (Jokes, Magic & Souvenirs) “Deluxe Edition” DVD Music Video Collection 1981-1994 (NTSC Region 1 for USA and Canada)

Description

Band History: For years, THE CHURCH was one of Australia’s best-kept rock & roll secrets. A band duly celebrated Down Under for its rare guitar brilliance and songwriting invention yet forever waiting to happen abroad. The symphonic twang and seductive melodies of “Starfish” and the Group’s album, “Gold Afternoon Fix”, have changed that for good. An essential complement to the band’s records, GOLDFISH (JOKES, MAGIC & SOUVENIRS) brings the sound and vision of THE CHURCH to life in altered states of color, image and performance which will delight both longtime fans and recent converts. Includes the hits “The Unguarded Moment, Bel-Air, Too Fast For You, Tear It All Away, Almost With You, A Different Man, Electric Lash, It’s No Reason, Fly, Constant in Opal, Tantalized, Columbus, Under The Milky Way, Reptile, Metropolis, and You’re Still Beautiful and MORE in this exclusive edition…

Product background and history: The original VHS of this collection was released in 1991 in both Europe and America. Shortly after, the title was deleted making it pretty rare already by the mid 90’s some 20 plus years ago. Finally after much demand from the fans, a DVD version was released in 2005 containing not only the original 16 ground breaking music videos but an additional two others (Ripple and Two Places At Once). The only problem with the DVD version of this collection was the fact that it was released exclusively in Australia and only in the PAL Region 4 format for Australia making the DVD impossible to play for all of the North American fans along with the bands following in Canada.

American and Canadian Fans demanded a NTSC Region 1 version of the DVD back in 2005 when the initial DVD was released in Australia but it never happened. Finally after all of this, the RARE Region 4 Australia only DVD was discontinued making it extremely rare and impossible to find. Latest search turned up the original Australian Region 4 DVD as a USED ITEM for as much as “$235.53 from a website we won’t list.

GOLDFISH (JOKES, MAGIC & SOUVENIERS) “Deluxe Edition” is the definitive collection of The Church’s unique videos, spanning their entire career from the classic 1981 single “The Unguarded Moment” to the latest two tracks in this collection (not seen on the VHS or LaserDisc version)  “Ripple” (from 1992 Priest = Aura) and “Two Places At Once” (from 1994 “Sometime Anywhere)”. Finally the last video in the collection has never been released officially; “Under The Milky Way (Australian Conceptual Re-Edit for USA Version 2)”. This last video is unique in the collection as it has NEVER been featured in ANY other previous collection and is unique to this release.

Now, here for the first time is a direct remastered transfer from the ORIGINAL PAL Region 4 DVD to our USA and Canada DVD version in Region 1 NTSC playable on ALL DVD Players in the USA and Canada.
