THE LATEST
I am happy to say that I have finally completed a DVD compilation of all of the Cocteau Twins' TV appearances. This includes every TV performance and interview I could get my hands upon. The only material I know that exists but is not included is:
- Hotel Babylon appearance (includes Tishbite live - March 1996)
- TFI Friday appearance
(PLEASE let me know if you can get me copies of either or both of these, or if I am missing anything. Thanks!)
This compilation is absolutely not for sale! It is for the promotional, non-commercial, use only by fans in their private homes. None of the included material is commercially available, and will be deleted once it does. I will not deal with anyone who has ever sold -- or made profit off of -- bootlegs or "homemade" compilations such as mine (this includes eBay). As a big fan, I'd love to purchase all of this on DVD or VHS, but alas, it is not available -- so I made my own. Perhaps you can enjoy and appreciate all the work that went into this as well, also keeping in mind the rarity of the material.
If you are interested in obtaining a copy on DVD+R or DVD-R, please e-mail me at KNEEL@cox.net. I am interested in doing trades only, so please don't ask me how much it costs. I can usually work out a trade with most anyone. This is a region-free NTSC compilation and is copy-protected.
In other words, if you want a DVD copy of this, read my trading policy and check my wantlist, then send me an e-mail. Please don't simply e-mail me saying "I want a copy....how do I get one?" 99% of the information you need are on those pages.
If you are looking for promotional videos, I suggest you check eBay for the excellent Tishbites DVD compilation previously offered by www.CocteauTwins.org (for only a short time unfortunately).

This page is an attempt to centralize all information on Cocteau Twins videos, TV appearances, and live shows. It is also the home page for my unofficial video compilations. Check up here from time to time if you are interested in obtaining copies of them. Please note, I do not SELL copies of them; I only trade for them. PLEASE let me know if you have something to add - I'd like to make these compilations as complete as possible. Thanks!
