Richard Hell i Dream

This exclusive video collection is jam-packed with the gritty best from noted New York filmmaker Richard Kern. His sexually-charged work has been alternately dismissed as “violent” and “offensive” by the mainstream press, but embraced by the underground as the perverse standard. Says Kern, “I've tried it all: crime thrills, drug thrills, sex thrills. Nowadays, I get most of my thrills by offending people with my films. I don't even have to be there. I can sit far away and think, “Someone's watching my video right now and thinking, Yeeughh!”

CD1 kicks off with Queen's outstanding ‘Don't Stop Me Now’, followed by Def Leppard's anthemic ‘Pour Some Sugar On Me’ and Meat Loaf's classic ‘Bat Out of Hell’. CD2 opens with a stellar run of defining classics of the genre, beginning with the iconic ‘Born To Run’ from Bruce Springsteen and followed by Paul McCartney & Wings' explosive ‘Live And Let Die’, The Who's timeless Baba O’Riley. Electric Light Orchestra's peerless ‘Mr. Blue Sky’ kicks things off on CD3, followed by one of Rock’s most enduring hits ‘Don't Stop Believin'’ from Journey. Boston's ‘More Than A Feeling’, leads the way to more classic Rock from Kansas, Blue Öyster Cult, Don McLean, Sweet. CD4 delivers the ultimate collection of Rock Ballads and Power Anthems – the epic Rock-opera of Meat Loaf's ‘I'd Do Anything For Love` opens the disc!

Get ready to crank up the volume and let the music take you on a journey through 79 epic hits, spread across 4 CDs.

Directed by Kevin Kerslake, "We're Outta Here" was conceived as an opportunity to document the Ramones final performance - plain and simple. The resulting piece includes live footage interspersed with interviews with famous friends and material spanning the life of the Ramones.

Weighing in at a hefty 100 tracks across five CDs, "Rock And New Wave: The Ultimate Collection" surveys four decades of hits. The album runs from the beginnings of hard rock in the late 60s (Deep Purple, Iron Butterfly) through the mid-70s (Dr Feelgood, Hawkwind) via punk from the UK (The Damned, The Stranglers) and the US (Ramones, Richard Hell & The Voidoids) to new wave (Ian Dury & The Blockheads, Television). There's also space for eighties US metal (Faith No More, Skid Row), UK alternative rock (Echo & The Bunnymen, The Jesus & Mary Chain) and tracks from the new romantic artists that were inspired by New Wave (A Flock Of Seagulls, The Associates) alongside British rockers from the 90s and 00s (The Darkness, Terrorvision). "Rock And New Wave: The Ultimate Collection" features 100 anthems to appeal to any fan of guitar music.

Five CD set bringing a comprehensive, big-tent look at the early years of punk rock in the US and Canada. Over six hours of music. Includes benchmark tracks by the scene's most influential bands plus many rare singles making their first appearance on CD. This five CD includes influential NYC bands - Patti Smith Group, The Ramones, Television, Blondie, The Voidoids, etc. - as well as the scene's other pioneers such as Pere Ubu and The Dead Boys (both Cleveland, Ohio), Dead Kennedys and Crime (San Francisco), Devo (Akron, Ohio), The Germs and The Weirdos (Los Angeles) and Mission of Burma (Boston, Massachusetts). Blank Generation offers a deliberately broad definition of punk, encompassing contributions from such outré acts as Suicide, The Cramps and The Residents through to new wave/power pop combos (Sneakers, Chris Stamey & the dB's, etc.). While the US punk scene was arguably always more diverse musically than that of the UK, the music evolved quickly, as evinced by the choices heard on Discs 4 and 5. Many of the acts here such as X, The Replacements, The Feelies, Redd Kross, The Dream Syndicate, The Gun Club and Minor Threat would make an even greater impact as the 1980s wore on. It's hard to overestimate the seismic shocks caused by the music on 'Blank Generation', not only on everything in alternative music which followed in North American, from the 80s hardcore scene and the music heard on the whole alternative college radio network through to grunge and beyond. And yet this era has never before been treated to a comprehensive retrospective of this kind.
