Oye Esteban

[The Youngest]

What is it?!?!

[MetalPingu]

It's a Region 1 DVD released by Reprise (I think??) containing within it most of Morrissey's music videos (goes from Everyday > Sunny), although not all. I think overall the video quality is better than the R2 'Malady Lingers On' and 'Hulmerist' DVDs.

Well worth importing I think, it's lovely, especially if you've not seen any of them before!

[The Youngest]

Thanks for your help. I saw an Oye Esteban CD on eBay and was wondering if this is a studio CD or live? :)

[MetalPingu]

If it's the one on eBay UK that I just rattled up, it looks like someone's got confused and listed the DVD as a CD: it's the DVD artwork, i.e. not CDerised; nor would I want to buy any album, live or studio, with a 'Credits' track XD.

[Aly Panic]

It's a good DVD but it's a R1 disc and won't work on my DVD player.

Videos are
1 ...Sunday
2 Suedehead
3 Will Never Marry
4 November
5 Interesting Drug
6 Playboys
7 My Love Life
8 Sing Your Life
9 Seasick, Yet Still Docked
10 We Hate It...
11 Glamourous Glue
12 Tomorrow
13 ...Fatty
14 The More You Ignore Me...
15 Pregnant...
16 Boxers
17 Dagenham Dave

Is that everything from the HMV & RCA years?

Oh yeah! Our frank's missing.

[The Youngest]

Thank you Aly Panic! :)

[Maradona]

Certain People I know and Sister, I'm a Poet are also missing from the DVD. But, still, a great compilation.

Aly, if you type your DVD player's model and make into Google along with the word "hack", I bet you'll be able to find away to play that DVD ;)

I think I'm ordering it tomorrowmorning, after reading this review on http://www.allmusic.com (4.5 stars out of 5):

"!Oye Esteban! collects 18 music videos from the King of Manchester Mope, Morrissey. The former singing star of the Smiths is featured prominently in a majority of the videos. He visits the hometown of his idol, James Dean, for "Suedehead." "November Spawned a Monster" sees him frolicking pensively in a desert, wearing a see-through shirt and an adhesive bandage over a nipple. His ode to the Kray brothers "The Last of the Famous International Playboys" finds the modern bard lip-syncing in an all-green room. He drives a convertible across California with his band in "My Love Life," which features gorgeous black-and-white cinematography. "Sing Your Life" repositions Morrissey as a suave doo-wopper. He smirks passionately and stalks a steadicam-mounted camera as he promenades through an old city's back alleys in "Tomorrow." Videos that don't feature Morrissey find an odd array of characters promoting animal rights, looking depressed, or performing any of a number of actions that our hero condones. The Warner Reprise DVD edition is fitted with pristine PCM sound, and all of the shine with vibrant, high-resolution color. A subtitle/lyrics mode makes for a quick-and-easy karaoke session. The camera obviously and absolutely loves Morrissey, and Moz fans will fall head over heals in love with this fine retrospective of videos. It's a package that drips with a style and grace that would make Morrissey proud. "

If you are wanting to watch Oye Esteban on your PC and you don't want to change your firmware on your DVD-ROM (some only let you switch them between regions 5 times before they "lock" into the last selected region) then your best bet is to use some middleware that sits between the hardware and your chosen media player (windows media player for example). The one I use is DVD Region Free. It lets you watch DVDs from any region without hacks or fiddling with your PC.

You can get more info here...well worth the purchase!

It really does work a treat. And you can useful things like skipping the lengthy intro messages and just go straight to the DVD menu :-)
