Someone needs their face punching for this. The DVD contains most of Blondie's hits, but some clown has decided that they should be presented in the form of a mini-TV show "story" format, linked by some guy driving around in a taxi. This is all well and good, except that they've chosen to fit it all in by chopping the first and last few seconds out of each video. If you select individual tracks rather than watching the whole "story", you just get the clip from the story rather than the unedited video, so you're still missing the start and finish of each song. If you can put up with that, there are some great videos on here.
I didn't think the picture quality was that bad, apart from 'The Tide is High' that had lots of 'flick/debris' on the film. Sound quality of Debbie Harry's voice was quiet compared to the music, but i don't recall the actual songs sounding that much better anyway.
Putting that aside, as i'm not that fussed by these issues, it was just great being able to watch & listen to these classic songs from the 80's again !
