Kerrang! Video Kompilation 1

About This Movie

Kerrang! Video Kompilation 1 is an interesting snapshot of mid-80s rock culture. It features a solid lineup of bands that shaped the era, with tracks that range from Iron Maiden's fierce 'Aces High' to the more laid-back vibe of Whitesnake's 'Slow An' Easy.' The pacing flows well, bouncing between high-energy performances and more melodic moments. You get a sense of the raw energy that live performances can bring, even if the director remains a mystery. The practical effects are minimal, focusing more on the performances themselves which gives it a real concert feel. There's a certain charm to the way the video captures this moment in time, making it a unique piece for any collection.

This compilation was released in an era when music videos were becoming a cultural phenomenon, yet it can be tricky to find in good condition today. Originally released on VHS, some collectors seek out the rare formats, including any limited editions, but the standard versions still circulate. Interest tends to vary, especially with newer formats, but for those who appreciate 80s rock, this video holds a certain appeal.
