7 Television Commercials is the a collection of music videos from Radiohead, covering the period from their The Bends (1995) to OK Computer (1997) albums with seven songs in all. The VHS home video (later reissued as a DVD, with no additional features) was released on 4 May 1998 in the United Kingdom, and on 30 June in the United States. The box art, by Stanley Donwood and Thom Yorke, is composed almost entirely of elements from the artwork for OK Computer. It is worth noting that all of the videos on this DVD, along with earlier and later videos as well as the UK video for "High and Dry" are all available on the "Radiohead: The Best Of" Music Video Compilation, so this DVD is now purchased for collecting purposes, rather than for the content.
