The Rare Video Collection

Click image to enlarge

Legendary band GIRL with Phil Collen & Philip Lewis, who built an era with NWOBHM’s most glamorous. An urgent arrival is decided for a video collection where you can witness the shining appearance.
This work contains 11 songs + α hidden treasure pro shots produced from 1980 to 1992. It is a decisive board that covers not only the original GIRL but also Jerry Raffy’s solo and family band SHEER GREED. A variety of videos are collected, but the contents are roughly divided into four sections. Let’s introduce them individually.

● GIRL: Highest image quality promo clip (2 songs)
The first to appear are the two video clips “Hollywood Tease” and “Do You Love Me?” Produced from the m debut work “SHEER GREED”. What is surprising here is its beauty. With the spread of video sites, old clips can now be viewed in high quality, but the quality of this work is truly the highest. You can enjoy the youthful appearance of Philip Lewis, Phil Collen, and Jerry Raffy on the most beautiful screen.
There may be a reason for this beauty. After all, GIRL is also known as a band with a lot of official boots, and there are rumors that this work is also produced by Jerry’s treasured master. I don’t know for sure only the imported titles, but that is also a nodable quality. In addition, it seems that some boards have a messy artwork notation and the actual song order, but this work fits perfectly.

● GIRL: Live performance (6 songs)
Next up is a live performance video that can be said to be the cornerstone of this work. The details are unknown, but there are a total of 6 songs, including 5 studio live songs and “Hollywood Tease” when they appeared on the West German specialty program “POP ROCK”.
The quality here is not comparable to the clip at the beginning, which was the master quality as if it had been dubbed a couple of times, but it must be the highest peak. It seems that the storage condition of the master is better than that of the gene, and I am happy that white line noise and distortion do not occur. Although it is a mime performance that is not a real concert video, the youthful and aggressive performance is sharp, and Philip’s camera-conscious flow is unique to broadcasting. Why did they catch fire before IRON MAIDEN and DEF LEPPARD? It is a masterpiece video that tells the reason more eloquently than a hundred words.

● Jerry Raffy: Solo / SHEER GREED promo clip (3 songs)
GIRL, where Phil Collen left to join DEF LEPPARD, was disbanded shortly after welcoming a successor guitarist. Philip Lewis traveled around NEW TORPEDOS and TORME and arrived at the formation of L.A. GUNS in 1987. And the remaining Jerry turned to solo through THE LONDON COWBOYS. The 1st album “MONEY & THE MAGIC” will be released in 1990. Jerry, who also blossomed as a singer here, formed a new band SHEER GREED with his brother Simon Raffy and Pete Barnacle and other GIRL era allies. Debuted in 1992 with “SUBLIME TO THE RIDICULOUS”.
In the third section, you can see 3 clips from this era. “Money & The Magic” and “Mandy” produced from his solo debut, and “No Way Out” by SHEER GREED. The quality of this section is superb again. You can see Jerry’s brave figure singing and playing hot with the “completely official class” visual beauty.

● Bonus: 1982 interview video (about 23 minutes)
After the 11 songs of the pro shot video, an extra treasured video. I don’t know the details, but it is an interview video taken in Hong Kong in October 1982 when the dissolution is approaching. This is also an interesting atmosphere. Members and related parties are crowded in a place that seems to be a room in the hotel, and lighting for shooting is also set up. On the side, a woman who feels like a mannersman or an editor is having a meeting with the members, and the cameraman is eager to set up. It’s not the type that you can listen to the details of the story, but it’s a valuable video that you can witness with a sense of skin, “Ah, I wonder if magazine coverage is like this.”
An interview site where you can feel the backstage of band activities and treasured professional shots of 11 songs. In terms of both quality and content, it is one that you can enjoy the video because it is leaked from the people concerned. GIRL is a band whose beauty has become a hot topic as well as the goodness of the songs. That is why it is especially important to see it with your eyes. One of the secrets that heals the dryness. Please enjoy it carefully.

★ A collection of 11 songs + α treasure pro shots produced from 1980 to 1992. The original GIRL has “2 promo songs + 6 studio live songs”, Jerry Raffy’s solo has “2 promo songs”, and the family band SHEER GREED has also collected “1 promo song”. In addition, an interview video of 1982, which was just before the dissolution of GIRL, is also recorded. It is said to be a related person outflow master, and especially the promotion for 5 songs is superb. It is a piece that you can thoroughly enjoy the brave figure of the young GIRL, whose shining figure was also popular.
