The Thrill Of It All: A Visual History 1972 - 1982 is the definitive Roxy Music DVD. It vividly captures the band's recording career, packed with live footage, much of it previously unseen in the UK and their back catalogue of promo videos.

For all their imitators and admirers, no one has ever successfully cloned the unique and indefinable combination of elements that made Roxy Music one of the most influential bands in rock music history. Now for the first time with the release of The Thrill Of It All, fans are given the opportunity to take a comprehensive look back at the career of a band that combined idiosyncratic experimentation, sophisticated wit and a highly developed visual presentation.

Following their early years with performances at the Royal College of Art and on the Old Grey Whistle Test, to their iconic performances on Top Of The Pops and including live material from many of their memorable gigs the DVD is a visual feast which will satisfy even the most ardent Roxy fans. Perhaps most significantly is footage from the Montreux Rose Festival - the last filmed performance of Brian Eno with the band.

With memorable TV performances for singles like Virginia Plain, Do The Strand and Pyjamarama classic videos for tracks like Avalon and Jealous Guy and the unforgettable live recordings of tracks like Editions Of You and Street Life this DVD really demonstrates a band who triumphantly combined both style and substance.

Great value DVD showcasing all aspects of this groundbreaking band. Visually highly entertaining as well as a great collection of music.

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars Five Stars for a casual fan, Three Stars for a completist

This is an excellent DVD release for the casual Roxy fan as it includes all of their greatest hits and a good mix of their less well known repertoire.

If it disappoints at all it is because each track has a break between it disturbing the "flow". This is most noticeable when four or more songs come from the same live show. However I am being very picky. There are many classic performances on the first disc alone making the double DVD an absolute bargain.

For the Roxy completist it is of course a let down to include songs already available on DVDs such as Musikladen, On the Road and The High Road but hopefully if this compilation sells well we will soon be able to buy the 1975 Sweden Show and the 1980 Germany Show too.
