"Due to a technical defect during mastering,this DVD(a verbatim transfer of the old RCA/Columbia Pictures VHS program) clips off the start of the song "Maneater".Hold off on buying this 7-song collection,because BMG may someday be releasing a more extensive Hall & Oates video collection on DVD.Legal problems concerning Lightyear Entertainment's claim of a long-term license on the 7 videos included in "7 Big Ones" have BMG's DVD on indefinite hold."
Wish it was better, but still worth it!

"Well, some of the videos on the DVD were not that great of quality and the sound has a bit muffled, but as it's Hall & Oates, we can forgive and forget heheh.Still worth the buy as it's some of the greatest hits they had in their 80s..."
Wish There Were More Than 7 Videos

"I particularly liked the videos for "Say It Isn't So", and "One On One", though I'm not sure about the settings for the other 5 videos, I would call them 'fair'. Nice to see Hall & Oates in their earlier days, and how videos and their music have changed, for the better!"
Don't have it on DVD, yet!

"It's a compilation of their greatest hits from the '80's. But you can see the progression of their videos. Songs like "Private Eyes" that were shot against a black screen to the theatrics of "Adult Education" show how the video has changed in a span of only two years!
If you're a die-hard fan like me, this is a great way to start a video collection!"
Sadly, I agree - Not a great release

"This DVD could have been so much, but instead we got so little.
No imagination what so ever has gone into this release, no extras - nothin'! Of course the songs are great and the videos have a certain place in our hearts, but after 20 years we all had those on VHS somewhere in the collection anyway - so what is the point of this DVD ? I have added an extra star because the version of Familiy Man is the longer one as apposed the the single release."
