Second that emotion was my first video too :-D

And, yes, it's a shame that Japan hasn't had the same treatment that another great bands from the 80's.

I have always loved Polaroids, closely followed by Visions of China. (There's just something about men in Chinese uniforms... :-) )
These are years with a genius for living.

I like their "Who gives a darn" attitude in the alternate video of ADOLESCENT SEX...and the whole hanging out and lighting one up by the pool kind of made them look grittier than I'm used to.

Second favorite is the "Communist China" video and I have yet to see more!

Looking back now it seems that so much more effort could of been put into the promotional videos to accompany the tracks however.........it was a long time ago now!

For me...the best of a mediocre bunch was definatly........'Swing'

I've gone for Gentlemen Take Polaroids (love the whole album too - my absolute fav) and after that Visions of China but I agree their videos do generally lack something. I actually enjoy watching their older videos ie. Adolescent Sex - and Sometimes I Feel So Low makes me howl with laughter (the part were Rich finishes his bit and looks so 'umph' and depressed) :smt012 :-D
