The Beautiful South - 'The Pumpkin' Documentary (Part 1/3)

Part one of a documentary about The Beautiful South's 1990 tour of the USA, as 'remembered' by them in 1992, including some new videos for rare tracks.

I bought this little gem on VHS in Canada when it first came out. It’s so wonderful to see it again. It’s so low-key and natural, and the music still sounds magnificent.

[@CarlBovis]

Best band ever. 😊 Paul is currently number 1 again on the album charts, still going strong! 😊💪

[@umjovem27br16]

someone else noticed that in the music video for Woman In The Wall, Dave's shirt is the same as the Housemartins' Build clip😅

[@johnmcluskey]

Woman in the Wall is a great song. The Beautiful South could try there hand at any kind of music and they always sounded great.

[@huhnkie]

my ole all time favorite!

[@Muldfeld]

Thanks for putting this up. I've never seen this and we never got this in North America.

[@grinsko6741]

Funnily enough, we did get it in Canada. I bought the NTSC-format VHS tape when it came out.

@@grinsko6741 I stand corrected 14 years later! This remains an incredible song.

[@grinsko6741]

@@MuldfeldIt blows my mind that when you added your original comment, the documentary was ‘only’ about sixteen years old - now here we are, fourteen more years later, still enjoying and discussing this great band. By the way - I still have the tape, but alas no more VCR. 😊

@@grinsko6741 Oh, my God. It's crazy the hundreds of dollars I spent on high quality VHS tapes ($11 to $16 per tape) and they're not even close to DVD quality. What a waste of money and time worrying about recording. I could've been hanging out with girls, instead.

[@grinsko6741]

@@Muldfeld I hear ya! lol. And we thought those tapes were absolutely ‘state of the art’ at the time! I wonder if one day we’ll look back on 4K Video and think, “Man, that looks really fuzzy…”

[@umjovem27br16]

Dave and Paul are the best

[@animewolf111]

Can someone tell me, please, what are the titles of the songs included in the video? They are awesome...

[@alpinu]

Song 1: You Play Glockenspiel Song 2: Lips Song 3: Woman In The Wall

"We never got this in North America"? Last I checked, Canada is part of North America and I have it.
