not a lot to say really except that talent like Alisons is very rare and this record of her is stunning,if your a fan you already have this,if not buy it and see what you are missing

If you want a detailed, telling story of Factory Records, get Shadowplayers. This film is 'a truth based on lies'. It is almost pure myth feeding. The bits of facts thrown in, are literally thrown in, they're not built into the script, they're simply blurted out at a convinient moment. The omition of New Order is simply unforgivable. You cannot tell the story of Factory Records without putting some detail into New Order, without whom Factory would have sunk without a trace very quickly. Other important bands of the era don't even get a mention, but these are understandable, the Smiths and the Stone Roses for example were not on Factory, and this is the story of Factory.
There's nothing on this DVD that you can't find on youtube to be honest.
And with Metallica launching there own youtube channel recently, all the videos on there are official, so you need not worry about Lars getting mad at you.

This is definitly one of the best puchases I have made for entertainment value. The mix of songs goes down well at parties. However the most talked about part of this DVD is the acomanying Video that runs with the backing. Obviously done to a tight budget at a local drama school, they give cheese a new and entertaining twist. A fantastic purchase for people who like to have a laugh!

I really enjoyed this movie, which worked for me on several levels, or at least across several generations. I was there in the seventies listening to bands like Strange Fruit, and the film got the feel of those times right. Now I'm an old geezer like the band members, and the film got the feel of that right too. Connolly as roadie was a good choice, providing a salty anchor for the sometimes thin narrative.
One thing that seems 'off' about the way the film was promoted is the praise heaped on Mick Jones (Spooky Tooth, Foreigner) and Chris Difford (Squeeze) for the great music. Their names don't even appear in the IMDB listing for the film and I got the impression that the real force behind the music was Steve Donnelly, who is credited ... Read More:

I disagree entirely with the reviews of this product.Although nicely performed there are too many similar sounding ballads & unecessary conversation.I found this made very bland viewing.Unless you're a fan of very traditional songs or a die hard folkie i suggest you give this one a miss.
