Compilation of Negativland video pieces from 1983-1989. No tracklisting on packaging, but includes (among other things) the "Marlboro Man" video ("David, Where Are My Cigarettes?"), the "Nesbitt's Lime Soda Song", Halloween highlights from The Dick Vaughn Show, stylistic premonitions from Crosley Bendix, the "Fire Song" video, live performance excerpts, and TV news stories related to the band. From back cover: "In an effort to cure her smoking habit a middle-aged woman discovers that she can communicate with her long lost son while watching a Halloween safety program on TV. After suffering a nervous breakdown, her husband, a used car salesman, is revitalized when he travels back in time to drive the first car he ever sold. Seventeen years later a powerful canned food manufacturer crashes the same car into a toaster truck while endorsing a brand of yams on live TV. At the funeral his clergyman experiences a crisis of faith when he and a lifelike Mexican continue their search for a married couple who have befriended an insect who enjoys drinking lime soda. They later meet a young man whose bizarre murder scheme involves four innocent members of an experimental rock band who have all given up smoking." The DVD version of this film comes packaged with 2007 CD reissue of "A Big 10-8 Place"
