Video Rewind: The Rolling Stones' Great Video Hits (1984)
Video Rewind by The Rolling Stones is a compilation of video clips recorded between 1972–1984. Instead of just presenting unrelated clips and videos just strung together, it uses a framing 'story', featuring Bill Wyman and Mick Jagger, directed by Julien Temple and includes some video directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg. It was first released in 1984 on the VHS, Laserdisc, and CED Videodisc format by Vestron home video.

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
I love the stones to death. And I think this was a great idea but it turns into more of a tease were we see bill fastforward through the interesting clips (never before seen footage or rarities). The music videos arent that great either. Song featured include IORR (Classic Clip dumb concept), a fake Miss You, Too Much Blood, She's So Cold. The only worth while videos beinging She was hot and Emotinol Rescue, There is also a Brown sugar piceed with live footage. This video could have been incredible but in the end turned to rubish.
I found a copy of 'Video Rewind' hidden on the bottom a video store about a year and a half ago. I haven't seen too many copies of it about but if you do see one it's worth a look. Directed by Julien Temple (The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle), it's a collection of the Stones videos presented by Mick and Bill from the London Museum of Mankind. These newly shot scenes are general funny (well for Stones fans anyway) and has Bill playing a security guard and Mick as one of the living exhibits (!). Released mainly to promote the 'Undercover' album it's not really a greatest hits like the title promises (most of the clips are from the 1978-83 period). However we do get the uncensored versions of 'She was Hot', 'Too Much Blood' and 'Undercover of the Night'. Also included are two (black and white) highlights from the infamous 'C..ksucker Blues': The groupie scene on the plane and Keith's pushing the TV out of the hotel window. Definitely worth a look if you can find a copy.
