 Roy Orbison
In Dreams
(Sony/BMG)
Not the first time this ‘authorised documentary’ has been released but, if you don’t have it, now is the time to pick it up as it’s been updated to include a second live audio CD featuring many of the mans, idiotically long list of, hit records. It also boasts a list of famous fans so comprehensive they occasionally slow the documentary down due to the logistics of stuffing so much talking head footage into the proceedings – god alone knows what it must have been like editing down footage of Bono, Bruce Springsteen, Robert Plant, Jeff Lynne, Bill Wyman, David Lynch, Martin Sheen, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and Emmy Lou Harris into bite sized morsels, and these are just a small percentage of those queuing to big the man up. Having lost his first wife and two children in tragic circumstances whilst his star was still in the ascendancy it’s perhaps not surprising he then spent many years in the wilderness prior to being rediscovered by a younger audience (thanks to David Lynch’s decision to use ‘In Dreams’ in his movie Blue Velvet), before dying himself far too early at 52.

 The Offspring
Complete Music Video Collection
(Sony)
Say what you like about Dexter, Noodles, Stig and Biggles (oh,
OK those last two are made up) – if you’ve never heard the lads imagine Ozzy era
Black Sabbath if they’d grown up listening to the Sex Pistols and enjoyed skating –
as befits all MTV generation punks, they know a bit about wrapping their punky
pop/metal with slick mini-movies (the mad morphing video for The Kids Aren’t Alright
and the Ed ‘Big Daddy’ Roth style cartooning on She’s Got Issues being cases in point,
although the best moment is actually bonus nosebleed punk blatter Da Hui). Of course
you’re not gonna find any deep wisdom here as the chaps mainly do ‘don’t trust girls’
and ‘don’t deal with the man’ (sample lyric ‘You get no respect, you get no relief,
you gotta speak up, and yell out your piece, so back off your rules, back off your jive,
‘cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive), but for a couple of hours of brainless
big chorus driven punk, this fits the bill pretty well and if you’re one of the fans
that didn’t desert them when they defected to a major label then this will have pretty
much everything you could possibly want
