Very excited to get this!
I really enjoy this description: He looks, as always, like a geography teacher on the rampage in 1963.
Not enough- this is a 10/10

Garry Day on Bass? Jonny Bridgwood will be less than chuffed!
P.
The concert is indeed excellent, so I would give it full marks for that. Zero marks for extras because there are none.
The days of releasing 56 minutes of a concert on DVD and expecting people to buy it are gone. Especially when everyone already has it on VHS 20 years ago or can easily watch it on the internet. How hard would it have been to add another concert or Vauxhall in-store signing footage or just about anything to make a fumbling nod towards value for money?
I already have this on VHS but unfortunately getting out the old video player is more hassle than it is worth. Still I'd rather just look at the video cover for 'Introducing Morrissey' than shell out cash for a different format of the same thing. And I don't care how good the picture transfer is. If it's that good release it on blu-ray with a bag full of bonus content and I might consider buying it.
Lazy re-issue, to say the least.
I'll be buying it. I don't have a VHS player for my tape. Surely you can see a rerelease on DVD is a great decision. No rewinding for starters.
I'll be buying it simply because it's the best live release the man has ever done. No way am I missing out on this.
But if I am being slightly twatty - would've loved a blu-ray.
I will not be able to vote until I view "Introducing...". Never owned the VHS.
This is the complete version on YouTube. Unfortunately, the audio sync is a bit off, but you get the basic idea. The montage of stage invaders at the end (58:30) is kind of cool.
Who Put The M is more about the occasion than performance. Headmaster, Rush and Push amongst others sound dreadfully flat on that recording.
For me, Introducing... is an energetic rollercoaster from start to finish.
Just my opinion, like.

AW man, I loved Headmaster on that concert, but the highlight for me was 'Jack the Ripper' and the way it went into black&white for a while. I've always thought Jack the Ripper should have been an album track, same for Nobody Loves Us (I know it was on the re-issue). Same for 'I can have both'. I could go on, and on, and on.
