Thanks to Niconoe for making this compilation an to S+©kmªÑ for the links. Time to throw away the lossy versions.

Original Info File:

Well, I know that someone has done something similar to this before, but I believe this one to include more stuff and in greater quality. All from original VHS tapes in great shape. Hope you like it.

* Even despite these live clips show ‘October 1977’ in their start credit, most likely this is not correct. The Elizabethan Suite gig apparently dates from December 1977, so either the venue or the date is wrong in the credit.

** Complete songs + short interview excerpts taken from the 'Women In Rock' a.k.a. 'Girls Bite Back' documentary by Wolfgang Büld.

A PROMO CLIP FOR ‘SWIMMING HORSES’ DOES EXIST BUT HAS NEVER BEEN INCLUDED IN ANY VIDEO / DVD RELEASE AND THEREFORE IS MISSING FROM THIS COMPILATION.

Wow! This is an incredible compilation! Although constructed from older video cassettes, the quality of this DVD is very good. The promo videos are so over the top! Some are even hilarious (in a good way)! This collection is a "must have" for fans of Siouxsie and the Banshees. Thank you so much!
