In Operation - History

History

The performance, in front of an ecstatic hometown crowd, features all the tracks on Hard-Fi's 750,000 selling, #1 debut album Stars Of CCTV, at the time brand new track "You And Me", which would go on to appear as a B-side to "Suburban Knights", and the band's version of "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes – a massive crowd favourite. It also comes backed with CCTVersions – an exclusive CD which features dubbed versions of album tracks, produced by a host of guests including Roots Manuva and Wrongtom.

Additional footage includes all the Hard-Fi videos, from April 2005's "Tied Up Too Tight" through to "Better Do Better". There is also behind the scenes footage from the making of each video plus the Stars of CCTV EPK and mini-documentary 'In Operation' – a Channel 4 special on the band. There's also a host of hidden content on the DVD, including 2004's rarely seen, original video for "Cash Machine" which saw the band dodging security to vault the perimeter fence at Heathrow airport to film just feet from the main runway, all the band's videos and exclusive behind the scenes footage.

Q magazine gave it four stars saying, "Slick, suburban escapism, live in your front room, Archer's anthems skilfully balance passion and craft".
