From the box:

After 9 years and 4 albums worth of songs, which have been filmed and videoed, we felt it was about time to compile all these clips into one handy video collection. Further research into the archives unearthed 17 videos of 15 different songs spanning all of our albums.

We have endeavoured to bring you the complete range of Def Leppard video experiences, starting with an obscure recording of ‘Hello America’ from our first album through to the TV performances of 1980, 1983 and 1984 which few of you have ever seen. Then there are the 6 videos we did for ‘Hysteria’ and the videos we made with different band members, ending with 2 songs filmed in concert in ‘the round’ at Denver, Colorado in 1988.

So we strung every bit of film together in date order, added a bit of explanation as to the ‘whys’ and ‘wherefores,’ and called it ‘HISTORIA’.

Songs: Hello America, Let It Go, High ‘N’ Dry, Bringin’ on the Heartbreak (Version I/with Pete Willis), Photograph, Rock of Ages, Foolin’, Too Late For Love, Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop), Bringin’ on the Heartbreak (Version II/ with Phil Collen), Me and My Wine, Women, Animal, Pour Some Sugar On Me (U.K. Version), Hysteria, Armageddon It (Live), Pour Some Sugar On Me (U.S. Version LIVE).

From the box:

Jethro Tull look even better on screen than they do on stage.

How do you take one of the world’s leading rock bands like Jethro Tull and improve on their live performance?
After all, their stage act is as famous for the way it looks as for the way it sounds.
Slipstream, conceived and executed specially for the screen is the answer.
And even though concert material is naturally included, Slipstream is far more adventurous than previous music programs.
The format is conceptual from start to finish with a coherent storyline.
It includes film shot on locations as well as in the studio, together with animation, special effects and library footage.
The band members themselves appear in a number of different guises in the conceptual sequences, with Ian Anderson adopting such diverse roles as Aqualung, the music hero of a previous album, and Dracula.
All in all, it’s a unique show and probably one of the most adventurous music specials ever made.


Songs: Black Sunday, Dun Ringil, Flylingdale Flyer, Songs From the Wood, Heavy Horses, Sweet Dream, Too Old to Rock ‘n’ Toll, Too Young to Die, Skating Away, Aqualung, Locomotive Breath.
