Reckless (1984)
BA's very first video package, released in VHS format on November 5th, the same day as the album. He was the first artist to ever release a single, album, CD, chrome cassette and 30 minute video package simultaneously.

The video package featured 5 songs from the album, plus the video for "This Time". Other than "Run To You" and "This Time", all of the videos were filmed in and around Vancouver in the space of just eight days.

The concert footage was filmed at a free show at the Orpheum Theatre in Vancouver. According to Sorelle Saidman's book "Everything He Does", they had to squeeze in an extra 600 people above the venue's capacity, because someone sold counterfeit tickets. They filmed a few takes of "Heaven" and "Kids Wanna Rock", miming to playback, before launching into a full live concert for the fans, playing some of the Reckless songs live for the first time!
