I agree with Ed.  While it would be all well & good if TVT Records would put
out a Connells video, I don't believe the earning potential is there for them.
Probably, the only people that would buy it are the people on the list, so TVT
(who's in it for the money) wouldn't even be able to cut the cost of making
such a compilation.
 
So, I vote for a tape tree, and I am interested in obtaining a copy as
well.  I've never seen any Connells videos!!!  That would definitely be a big
boost to my collection.  I have all the albums, but no videos.
 
Well, let me know if this idea goes through!!!
 
Thanks
