Massiivne kogumik The Smiths´i teleesinemisi, vestlusi ning filmikatkeid. Sobilik taustaks, sest ega lõpuks need telestuudio lavashow´d üksteisest nii väga ei erine, vaatad ära mis Moz´il seljas on ja võid taas oma muude toimetustega edasi minna, hea muusika kõrval saatmas. Paar klippi sisaldas ka out-door filmitud lavastuslikke momente ning need olid väheke põnevamad. Lugude vahele pikitud ning disk nr. 1 lõpus kohe kõvasti intervjuumaterjali millest muhedam oli hetk kui Morrissey ütles, et esimesest päevast peale oli neil selge mis imidžit bänd kannab ja annab ning sellega võis nõustuda, veel aastaid hiljem olid nii bändi plaadikujundused kui mentaliteet samas vaumustavalt stiilses vaos jooksmas.
