" Includes rare performances, live and studio recordings, exclusive interviews and much more!

If The Smiths had called it a day after Meat Is Murder, and never released The Queen Is Dead, they would surely still be seen as one of the finest British bands ever - a perpetual legacy was assured soon after their second album. But on June 16th 1986, when the band released their third record proper, they entered an exclusive league that grants new membership once a decade at best. This DVD is a visual review of this groundbreaking record, it's writing, recording, production, release and legacy. Showing for the first time how it all came together and what made it so great, the film is all at once hugely enlightening, downright entertaining, and remains the only visual document of this momentous happening ever released. Features Include rare footage of The Smiths, studio and live recordings of every track on the album, revealing interviews with band members and many others who worked with them on the record, footage of and comment on the pivotal influences on the music and lyrics, and comment, criticism and review from; Engineer and co-producer of Q.I.D, .Stephen Street; Manchester legend, the sorely missed Tony Wilson [RIP], 'The 'fifth smith' guitarist Craig Gannon; Author of Morrissey and Marr: The Severed Alliance, Johnny Rogan; 1980s NME Editor and Smiths champion, Len Browne; Head Of English at Clare College, Cambridge, Professor Steven Logan; From Suede, the Smiths inspired, Brett Anderson; Author of Morrissey : The Pagent Of His Bleeding Heart; Gavin Hopps; Guitar instructor, musician and journalist (Guitar Magazine), Douglas Noble and legendary Smiths' road manager and all-round raconteur, Grant Showbiz."

MVD: Prévu pour le 10 juin 2008 Iron Maiden & the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. L'image sera offerte au format respecté de 1.33:1 d'après un transfert 4:3. On trouvera une bande sonore anglaise au format Dolby 2.0 stéréo. Les suppléments se composeront d'entrevues et d'un jeu. Voici un extrait de l'annonce de parution (en anglais):

"Includes rare footage, live and studio recordings, seldom seen photographs and much more.

Back in 1976, nobody really knew that there was an old wave of British Heavy Metal. But within 2 years of their formation, Iron Maiden had spearheaded what came to be abbreviated the NWOBHM, and as with punk the year before, a new generation of Rock musicians bought in a new wave of the genre - and in the process made loud, raw, heavy rock the global phenomenon it is today. For the first time this film investigates this New Wave - the bands, the records, the media and the series of unconnected events that led to this astonishing, durable and still hugely relevant form which is still heard today in virtually every rock record released. Focusing on Maiden and the other pivotal bands of the time, such as Saxon, Samson, Praying Mantis, Diamond Head, Tygers Of Pan Tang and many others, this DVD is the ultimate expose of a style that may not get as much press as Punk, but is equally as relevant to the music of the second millennium. It features rare footage of all the main NWOBHM bands; Live and studio recordings of the pivotal tracks; Scarce news items and archive of the movement, from the time, as it unfolded around the UK; Seldom seen photographs, many from private collections. It also includes exclusive interviews with many of the major players, including, Iron Maiden's Paul DiAnno and Dennis Stratton, Diamond Head's Brian Tatler, Tygers Of Pan Tang's Rob Weir, Samson's legendary drummer Thundersticks, Tino and Chris Troy from Praying Mantis, the current line-up of Girlschool and many other high profile names from the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. There's also commentary, review and expertise from; Malcolm Dome [Kerrang, Classic Rock] Jerry Ewing [Metal Hammer, Classic Rock] Geoff Barton [staff writer at Sounds during the New Wave] Garry Bushell [Sounds journalist and champion of NWOBHM] Neil Kay [legendary metal DJ from the Soundhouse club] and British metal author and journalist, Joel McIver."
