Those looking to spread some video joy this yuletide will find a plethora of musical video cassettes from which to choose. Available video cassettes range from classical (The Metropolitan Opera Series) to jazz (Chick Corea in A Special Concert) to country (Kenny and Dolly) to classic pop (The Best of Judy Garland).
But rock 'n' roll is still the only music that manages to make optimal use of the video medium, and plenty of good rock video cassettes are available
First of note is The Best of Elvis Costello, which includes 22 clips and spans the entire 10 years of Costello's career. It's well worth buying since many of Costello's best clips, including ""Radio Radio," "Pump It Up" and "Olivers Army," were made before there was a U.S. outlet for videos They have rarely been seen on this side of the Atlantic.
