Does anybody have the lyrics to Harry Crews? It's the only song not listed in the flap of Sideways. Also, is this the only song where the Hats belt out a curse? -Collin from Savannah

Video Update #2
by Senz 21 Mar '02

21 Mar '02

Hi all, Stefan has written to me basically telling me that I've crossed the line by asking you to send money for the videos. But before you all get mad at him, think about it. What difference does it make to Stefan whether I give away a hundred copies or sell them for $100 each? None whatsoever. He's just concerned that one of his fans might get squashed by the ruthless record companies that made his life hell. So, this is my new "official" position regarding the videos. (and Stefan suggested this to me). To get a copy of my videos, send me a blank VHS cassette, an envelope to send it back to you, and sufficient return postage (in a form that is valid in Canada) and you will get a copy no problems. So far, about 20 people have expressed interest in getting a copy. 3 of those may have addition material to contribute or improvements to the set I already have. On my side, I'm working on a set of title pages for different sections of the video. Does anyone wish to contribute some printing (in the form of labels and a possible cover for the cassette)?

The cover looks great. Am wondering who and where to send the blank tape to get a copy of the video. Any idea when it might be available. Thanks

Well, just letting you all know that I'm compiling a list of people interested in my video compilation. Anyone, who has already e-mailed me is already on it. I'm not actually accepting anything from anybody yet since I still believe the project can be added to or improved somewhat. I'm especially waiting for a somebody (anybody) to send me a their copy of "Open Your Eyes". My copy may just be unusable even if no other copy surfaces. I consider this video to be fairly important to the project. Any other videos (Chain Reaction, Freeways, 1972, or a better quality Moonbeam) would just be icing on the cake! The good news is that someone has offered me the use of PGTW on laserdisc. Even though I don't have such a player, I hope that I'll still be able to make use of it somehow. So, it may be sometime yet before things really get rolling. But hopefully not much longer than a couple weeks or so.

Hi guys, I'm nearly finished a new compilation of MWH videos. Digital technology has allowed me to improve the quality of the previous collection by a fair amount. (By quite a bit in some cases) Also, I've added almost an hour of additional material. But I'm not done yet. I'm missing the video for Chain Reaction. If any one has a clean copy (doesn't have to be perfect) I will trade my restored compilation for it. Similarly, for "Open Your Eyes". My copy is good but has over 1 second of dropouts. It goes without saying that if anyone has Freeways or 1972 (rumoured to exist) please get in touch with me! I've had a chat with Stefan about the videos and he says that MWH videos will probably never be released on VHS or DVD. Hassles with the labels make it impractical. So I'm doing this to get us through then next 5, 10 (who knows 20) years until a professionally produced video compilation IS practical. The following is a list of the material I have and the current state it's in. If anyone has something in better shape I will accept that for trade too. MWH music videos (in all cases the sound is excellent, from CD) ---------------- Safety Dance Very good (1st generation from broadcast) I Like Very Good (2nd generation) Where Do The Boys Go Excellent (2nd Generation) Pop Goes The World Excellent (2nd Generation) Moonbeam Fair (3nd generation) In The 21st Century Excellent (1st Generation from broadcast) Hey Men Very Good (1st Generation from broadcast)(first 5 seconds beyond repair) Sideways Excellent (2nd Generation) Open Your Eyes Good (1st Generation from broadcast)(various sections beyond repair) Superbadgirls Excellent (1st Generation from broadcast) Various Interviews ------------------ Record Guide Poor Fax (Musique Plus) Good Rock N' Talk Fair Off The Record Very Good Real Life Very Good (audio levels on Open Your Eyes reset properly) PGTW lip-synched on TV ---------------------- Top Of The Pops Fair Solid Gold Fair Ultimately, this compilation has been worked on to impress even non-MWH (friends, family, neighbours) as you crank your home theatre and freak out their senses! So let's get this done people!

Mr. Enz, That video quality is MOST excellent, at least the 1.3 seconds I saw was... Any plans on burning a CDV or equivalent? Are you using software to remaster the videos? (Sorry if you already answered that, but I deleted your original post...)

Steven, Yay, good work! I have seen hardly any MWH videos or performances, so the prospect of that little lot is mouth-watering indeed. Couple of things, though - are you saying that PGTW was on [the BBC's] Top Of The Pops??? I never knew that MWH even came to the UK to do anything in terms of publicity (apart from the recording of the PGTW album), so to learn that they were on the most mainstream music programme on British TV and that I missed 'em is very disappointing! Second thing - like the man said, what's the position on availability?
