  2. Cantonese Boy (live)

  5. Nightporter (short version)
  6. Canton (live)

A compilation of promotional videos and extracts from "Oil On Canvas" (which are cut differently). It was considered poor value at the time and doesn't even contain all the promo films the group made. The one good point about it is the otherwise unavailable single version of "Swing". The Hong Kong video CD bootleg is fairly good quality but you would be a lot better off to get the Instant Video DVD (see below) or The Very Best of Japan DVD.

The Japanese VHS and Beta versions included a fold-out insert with a biography of the group and some pictures.
