======================
Looks like there's quite a bit on video that I haven't kept up on. I'd
be interested in where I could get anything on video that I've not seen
yet, especially interviews, and *most* especially if there's some way to
get special features such as that 1989 VH-1 special (that I only heard
about, and never got to see).

What I've seem so far is:

  The Whole Story
  The Sensual World Videos
  The Singles File
  The Line, the Cross and the Curve
