Label:	MVD VISUAL
Format:	DVD
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	DR 4549DVD

"Not a Photograph documents the resurrection of the seminal post-punk band Mission of Burma, as well as their humble beginnings in Boston. For a band deemed too ahead-of-their-time during their initial existence, Not a Photograph follows Mission of Burma's 2002 reunion and their struggle to breathe new life into a tale that's already been written in rock's history books. Not a Photograph also features early footage from 1979 through the early '80s, a time before compact discs and MTV, when rock & roll still had some tricks up its sleeve, and when a group of smart, young artist/musicians formed a band The New Yorker labeled the most criminally undersung band of the 1980s." Feature: 70 minutes; Archival Live Performances, 6 Live Performances from the 2002 Inexplicable Tour, In-studio footage from The ONoffON recording sessions, WBZ-CBS local news segment, 1983.
