Bauhaus - Gotham (DVD)
The ultimate proto-goth band, Bauhaus forged a significant place for themselves in rock history, influencing later bands like The Cure and Joy Division. It was a sadder day than usual for the goths when Bauhaus disbanded in 1987, but luckily, the boys reunited for a reunion tour in 1988. GOTHAM contains live performance footage from that reunion tour, filmed at New York`s Hammerstein Ballroom on September 9th and 10th, 1998. It features fan favorites, Kick In The Eye, She`s In Parties, and Bela Lugosi`s Dead , among many more. The DVD version is the first ever DVD release from Bauhaus and Metropolis Records.NR"

JJ Cale: The Lost Session (DVD)
Though probably more known by the public for his songs which have been performed by other artists (including Eric Clapton`s Cocaine and Lynyrd Skynyrd`s Call Me The Breeze, ), JJ Cale`s unique style has been a huge influence musicians such as Clapton and Mark Knopfler. Along with Leon Russell, Cale founded the Tulsa Sound, a potent combination of blues, country, and rock`n`roll. This fascinating program is a rare and intimate look at this reclusive musical pioneer, recorded at L.A.`s Paradise Studios during a 1979 recording session, with Leon Russell on keyboards.NR"
