Yes. Not to keep this thread de-railed, but Debbie Harry is THE SEX and always will be. I just felt the need to say that.

that will mostly be the fact that they used NTSC, but i am also curious as to what size the DVD is. most bands these days just issue a cheap and cheerful DVD5 (max capacity of about 4.7GB) for "freebies".

has anyone, or could some kind soul, popped or pop the DVD into their PC and have a look at the disc size? would be interesting to see what it comes in at, in particular compared to the FD DVD.

The early stuff sounds a lot clearer - some of it benefits, some of it doesn't. Motown Junk and Stay Beautiful have never sounded so good.

cheers. that's pretty standard usage for a retail DVD9 (max capacity 8.5GB i think), then - the rest of the space is usually "reserved" for anti-copying software.

the poor quality must then be a mix of NTSC and just how much they have rammed on, then. unless there's an insane set of animated menus eating up all the data space.
