Gift (3), The
Vinyl Tour - A Single Handed Camera Documentary

Listening notes

The Gift (3) released "Vinyl Tour - A Single Handed Camera Documentary" in 2000 as a self-released VHS title, issued without a catalog number through no official label. The release consists of a single work sharing its name with the overall title, a documentary described in that title as a single-handed camera production. No duration for the piece is documented.

The format itself situates the release at a particular moment in home video history, when VHS remained a viable distribution medium even as DVD was beginning its commercial ascent. That The Gift (3) chose to document what the title frames as a vinyl tour suggests a connection to physical music culture, though the precise nature of that tour, its geography, its duration, and its participants are not captured in the available release data.

The genres associated with the release on record — Electronic, Folk, World, and Country, IDM, Indie Pop, and Pop — reflect the genre tags assigned to The Gift (3) as an act rather than describing the documentary content itself, and should be understood in that context.

The self-released, no-label nature of the release means standard commercial distribution infrastructure was not involved. There is no catalog number to assist in identification beyond the title and year. For collectors or researchers working with VHS-format releases from this period, that absence of a catalog number is a practical consideration when attempting to verify or locate copies.

This entry is drawn from release metadata only. Readers or editors with access to the documentary itself, or to contemporaneous documentation of the associated tour, are better positioned to expand on what the title describes.
