With this site approaching its 10 year anniversary I've grown a bit retrospective. I've been digitizing some of my archival video tapes of obscure Smiths appearances from the 1980s. I fear these tapes will die soon so I wanted to get them digital. Now you get to see some of the interesting appearances because of this work. The latest Quicktime is required to view these.

Thanks to Passions Just Like Mine for some extra data -- however I disagree with the month for 8 Days and Pop Quiz!
