COMMENT

There's no doubting the quality of the material on this release. With the exception of a few items, everything is amazingly sharp and clear. The obvious two stand-out broadcasts here are the 85 MTV Interview (taken from the master) & the 86 MTV Premiere. Both are of the highest quality, and without doubt better than anything previously circulating. The MTV News report from July 1988 features some brief footage from the opening show on 8th July in Paris (Sister). The quality is quite poor in comparison to the other footage, however it has been included for rarity value NOT picture quality. The Arsenio Hall 1991 broadcast again is of amazingly good quality - however it is already heavily circulating on various other releases. Which leads me on to the promo video's. The earlier Lovesexy / Batman era choices are a great addition to this release - however the last 4 appear to have been placed purely as filler material, as they span 2 years and there are many others missing in between. Special mention must go to the menu's on this release - they are stunning, and perhaps my favourite of any fan release so far. As a collection of material from 1985 - 1994 this is great, I just wish it was a little more focused on one particular era.
