    for me it's getting 6 non album tracks on compact disc plus the one unreleased track. everything else is a bonus.

      vicious circle is easily one of the best songs that the nanas did , deserved a place on the lp, could've been a hit.
      shouldve been a single to promote reissue .

          Regrettably the quality of all the videos has been deliberately deteriorated into blatant NTSC system instead of PAL. If they did their best to keep the highest possible quality, we would enjoy 720×576 pixels (PAL) and not the shoddy 720×480 (NTSC). But there is even worse. Bearing in mind the black vertical bars the effective resolution is 600×480 pixels. Shame! Apparently Edsel (and unfortunately not only they) turned out to be sycophants once again. Why the hell they disdain the European customers by spoiling the quality?! If Americans really insist on the worse quality for them, let they do it on their . Hands off the PAL quality! Their DVD equipment cannot play PAL whereas European can manage both PAL and NTSC. And that ought to be their issue only! I am very disappointed because of such attitude and it is next to impossible to believe that we will ever see the unspoiled videos (in PAL) by NTSC application. Lost forever, I am afraid! There is proof though that not every record company disregards the quality matters. Even in the year 2015 PWL Records released first four albums by Kylie Minogue supplemented with digital versatile discs of PAL resolution. Well done! Keep it up! There is no excuse. Take the example form them! It is not an insurmountable task.

            We waited 27 f*****g years for this to be released.
            And they did quite a good selection but...The Tricky Mix is missing.
            Still happy the Dubs were finally released digitally and the Fire & Brimstone, in my opinion the best version for Venus.
