The Cranberries - Love and Rock 'n' Roll (HQ)

Better playback than the one already on here, no rolling. But hey, it's VHS - this is probably as good as it gets! Something I managed to recover after winding the tape back on to the cassette it came from with a felt-tip pen after painstakingly pulling it out from the machine that ate it.

Surprisingly, somewhat of an elusive bit of tape here; I couldn't find a decent recording of this online, so I've uploaded my own, for the greater good - cuz I'm nice like that :) Thought I'd wheel out the VCR, empty a carrier bag (or two) full of tapes and have good reason to sit through about three hours of nineties TV on each. Showing was: the little-bit-trippy BBC test card feat. little girl with chalkboard playing noughts and crosses with a really sinister looking doll; 'Ceefax' - on loop, programmes no one ever actually wanted but had been timer-recorded from the wrong channel pre-'Video Plus', and a plethora of adverts, which I possibly found a little too entertaining.

Great documentary briefly portraying the Cranberries' story, from Limerick to London (and back), at least up until the turn of the 21st century anyway, by which time, sadly, we'd all grown up, them included apparently! I wonder what happened to that sofa...
