ThedBs.com is pleased to present the premiere of the "Neverland" music video. The footage was shot in 1982 by Phil Marino, who used some of the stills for the cover of Like This. However, the footage languished, The dB's lost touch with Phil, and before you could say "Super 8" a quarter century had gone by.
In no small coincidence, Jake Gorst, filmmaker and creator in 2001 of The dB's Online, knew Phil Marino, although neither knew of the other's connection to The dB's until Jake suddenly realized and asked Phil. The repercussions were enormous. Through this happenstance not only were The dB's reunited with Phil, but he donated quite a bit of material to the band's archives, including the footage before you now. The band has had its ups and downs since way back then, but nothing is wrong with waiting for quality.
Jake has edited the pieces together with Phil's blessing and as originally intended. It's at once ancient history and brand new. Like a vintage clothing store, or 1936 Chateau Lafite Rothschild.
We sure were skinny...

Ha, we were all skinny back then.
Great stuff from one of the most criminally underrated bands of all time.
The Sound of Music has visited my turntable at least once a week for over twenty years now. Definitely one of my "desert island" picks.

Seeing such classic footage to go with these sublime songs...fully justifies the promise of youtube. Wonderful!
-
It would be great if you posted songs from their "The Sound of Music" CD !!

Waiting for my 12" copy of Repercussion to come from the UK to my place in Australia. COME ON POSTAL SERVICES OF THE WORLD. HURRY. This song rules - definitely 'Black and Whites' close cousin.

I will forever be a devoted fan. Thank youi very very much.

It was 1993. A friend of my sister lent me an LP record to listen to. At first I was worried that the DB's were some fashionable grunge group, but then as I listened to them, I realized they belonged to a different, superior dimension.
Good times, good music.

Criminally underrated band from back in the day. I have all their early LPs and many of their later ones, too. Marti Jones does a great cover of this on her debut LP. Thanks for the upload.
