All the extra music videos are culled from the two albums recorded under the Columbia Records-Sony Music label, "...Barricades", and "Heart Like A Sky". The DVD is released by Sony Music, so little surprise that videos of songs recorded during Spandau's contract tenure with Chrysalis Records have not been included.

The DVD also contains a commentary track, by Gary and Martin Kemp. Here is an excerpt. As Gary explains: "'[Through The] Barricades' is a song about a relationship across the religious divide of Belfast." Spandau was based in Dublin for the recording of the Barricades album. Gary traveled to Belfast, and as he recalls, he saw barricades, literally. This was to provide inspiration for the song, as well as the full title of the album promotion tour: Across The Borders, and Through The Barricades.
