| This is All Those Wasted Years: Live at the Marquee, released in 1984, first issued in Japan as pictured to the left, then worldwide as pictured to the right. The quality is fantastic and I strongly recommend that you try to find a copy as it shows Hanoi Rocks at peak form, though sadly, out of print for years. It was filmed on Dec 19, 1983 at the Marquee Club in London England before the release of Two Steps LP. No real interviews here, just kick ass concert footage. Note: this video omits 4 songs that are included on the CD but adds one song which is not on the CD. I have searched in vain for the catalog number for the non-Japanese release but can't find it, but the Japanese Catalog number is VHS:PPV-4001/CDV:PDV-4001. Track listing as follows : Pipeline, Oriental Beat, Back to Mystery City, Motorvatin, Until I Get You, Mental Beat, Don't You Ever Leave Me, Tragedy, Malibu Beach Nightmare, Taxi Driver, I Feel Alright, Train Kept A Rollin', Under My Wheels & Blitzkrieg Bop (with Razzle on vocals and Michael on drums). Also released on Laserdisc (with the Japanese CD cover), which I paid dearly for. | |
| This video is Up Around the Bend, which was filmed in April 1984 (venue unknown) in Nottingham England. This video I think is a bootleg, as it is filmed from the side and is quite dark, sounds bad, but according to Michael Monroe, the show was "better as a gig". This video is more commonly known as the Nottingham Tapes, which is pictured to the right on the Jettisoundz label, catalog number JE169. The Japanese release is still in print and can be purchased at CD Now. Catalog number is VHS:PPV-4003/CDV:PDV-4003. Track listing as follows: Back to Mystery City, Up Around the Bend, I Can't Get It, Motorvatin, Mental Beat, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Don't You Ever Leave Me, Tragedy, Malibu Beach Nightmare, Underwater World, I Feel Alright, Taxi Driver & Blitzkrieg Bop (with Razzle on vocals and Michael on drums). Also released on Laserdisc, which I again paid dearly for. I must say that the transfer to Laserdisc is far superior than the VHS counterpart. | |

This is the Hanoi Rocks Story, which was released only in Japan in 1990. It features most of Hanoi Rocks (leaving out Lightning Bar Blues, Devil Woman, etc.) promotional clips and 2 tracks from the aforementioned Marquee show. The highlight of this video is an insightful interview with Michael Monroe who gives an oral history of the band. This is a must for Hanoi collectors.

Catalog number is VHS:PPV-4004/CDV:PDV-4004. Also released on Laserdisc, which was not as expensive as the other two. Track listing is as follows: Tragedy, Motorvatin', Oriental Beat (all 3 from '81 from Finnish TV Studio), Taxi Driver, Back to Mystery City (both from the Marquee show), Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Don't You Ever Leave Me, Up Around the Bend (last 3 are promo clips from the Two Steps LP) |

 | This is the much sought after Japanese only biography of Hanoi Rocks entitled Boulevard of Broken Dreams . It has been out of print for a while and the going rate for it now is upwards of $80.00. Most of the text is in Japanese. It contains a chapter on all the post Hanoi related bands and one dedicated to Razzles memory. |

 | These are the Super Stars Hanoi Rocks Photo Cards, which were issued as part of a set of 500 rock and roll bands and famous events, back in 1991. The photos on the left are the front and the reverse is on the right. Really cool and rare pieces of Hanoi memorabilia. |  |
 | ....and this is the other card. |  |
 | This is a rock card that was printed in 1986 in Holland. I really don't know much about this except that Krokus and Billy Idol were also featured. I do not own this....yet. |
