The world's most watchable music weekly again leads the way. There's never been anything like it before.
There isn't a pre-recorded video tape around to beat it either for quality or for value.
A collection of both rare and hitherto unseen performances. And, it's been put together exclusively for readers of NME.
The NME/Maxell Expresso Video...
Because it's by Maxell, you'll get a video tape of the very highest standard. Because it's by NME, you'll get a selection of the very best movies and music available — almost an hour of the stuff, in fact. The ultimate in both sound and vision and, for an all inclusive price of £15.99, you could hardly get it any cheaper.
■ For starters, there's The Jam's 1980 chart-topper, "Start!" So it's goodbye from Paul, Rick and Bruce and hello to
■ Elvis Costello & The Attractions caught both on stage and off in the most sleazy part of "Clubland."
■ Meanwhile, a kidnapped Kid Creole pleads, "Annie, I'm Not Your Daddy" with gun-tottin' Coconuts in hot pursuit.
■ From one cool customer we flashback to the '40s and the original Hi-Di-Hi man, Cab Calloway, his Orchestra and "Minnie The Moocher," all in glorious black and white.
■ Back to the present and close to eight minutes of Kevin Rowland with Dexys Midnight Runners and The Emerald Express on stage asking for a little bit of "Respect."
■ We make a fleeting visit inland to the Mojave desert, night turns into day and back again to discover the legendary Captain Beefheart in cahoots with his Magic Band hollering "Ice Cream For Crow!."
■ Sounds nutty! so does Madness performing "Madness" on the London Underground — well, take 'em or leave 'em — suit yourself.
■ Video Clash! The Clash City Rockers take a big bite outta The Big Apple with "Radio Clash."
■ It's The Sayle Of The Century! "Ello Alexei Gotta New Video!" Alexei Sayle (for it is he) goes well over the top enquiring. "Elio John! Gotta New Motor?"
■ As promised last week, we announce a bonus track, Switzerland's grand fromages, Yello — agitated, animated and syncopated on "Pinball Cha Cha"
■ The final member of the Expresso cast was still to be picked from the archives dating back to the dawn of rock 'n' roll.
■ The NME-Maxell Expresso Video also includes a Silver Screen Special featuring excerpts from two recently acclaimed movies, Diva and Angel.
■ And, keep an eye open for a sneaky peak at Grace Jones.
Well, my little videotics that's it — a better offer you won't find elsewhere. Furthermore, The NME/Maxell Expresso Video is available in both VHS and Betamax formats.
