You certainly get a lot for your money when you buy this video. Twenty-two of Elvis Costello's video clips are included on this "best of" compilation.
The problem is that most of these clips aren't interesting enough to make you want to watch them more than once or twice. And in the case of "I Wanna Be Loved," it's hard to watch the first time. This video clip consists of five minutes of Costello being kissed on the check by various people!
There are a few really good videos here. "The Only Flame in Town" features Daryl Hall and is fun to watch. "Radio Radio" is interesting and "Everyday I Write the Book" includes Prince Charles and Princess Diana look-alikes.
Hardcore fans of Costello will definitely want to pick up this video. Others would be better off spending less money to buy the "Best of" album. After all, Costello's music speaks for
itself.
