MARK HULSE (verified owner) –
Really happy I found this site! What a joy being a major Morrissey/Smiths fan I was very pleased to find all these rare and forgotten performances on this DVD Set. At 8 Hours long it is more than worth it the quality is up to the mark and well put together. I am now looking for any archives I have which I could trade with, I am also looking what other DVD’s I could purchase from Music Video Resource.com and recommending the site to my friends.
All in all this resource, site, collection is well worth your time and money! The p+p etc is also first class as is the communication, a big A+++++ to all concerned Mark, In Manchester UK……
