Down from dover: twee

I've discovered this amazing video one week ago :

Written by Crayola on his blog :

"Early in 1987 there was an advert in Melody Maker for a video, the proceeds of which would go to the shelter campaign for the homeless.
initial copies of the video were only available through the Melody Maker order form - a few months later the video was released through the cartel with a different cover. still for charity though if i remember right.

i think this video should be looked after and cherished like so many people cherish the "C86" cassette/LP.
think about the track listing of "C86" and then take a look at the track listing of this video"
