International CD Import

Is it cos my CD player is bust or is it cos the CD is bust but the 2nd CD does'nt seem to have anything on it, or am I missing some kind of arty joke! Why I shelled out £22.00 when I have Substance,Retro,Best Of and Rest Of is beyond me, or is it as fans we are dickheads?

Which do you mean, French or American import?

Let me just dig it out of me car and i'll tell ya!

Its the American version

You realise, of course, that the second disc is a DVD?

As a certain Mr Simpson would say "doh!" Whats it a DVD of?

True Faith (US version of the video, slightly different to the UK one)

The Perfect Kiss (Edited down to 4 minutes!!! Grrr)

Blue Monday (Live, taken from 511)

I once had the same problem when 60 MPH would not play.I was used to the old format.What a wally i felt when i was asked "You are playing in a DVD?" Rocket Mick

Cheers Old Blue, I don't feel as ripped off now!!

Where did you buy it Lee?

HMV in the Trafford Centre in Manchester

I paid about £11 for this from Amazon.com in July

Cos I'm a sad bastard I also bought the French 2CD version

Haven't played it in a while but recall it being the UK version.

The US version shows less footage of the band (doesn't have Barney throwing the guitar) and is set to the 7" remix. The UK version on the bonus DVD is the album edit.

Well, I'd never seen the one on the bonus DVD before, hence my assumption that it must be the US version. It's not the same version as on the Substance video.

OK, cheers. Thanks for clearing that up.

It's the promo version... the US "normal" version is the same as the UK one...

Just like The Perfect Kiss.. someone should be shot for editing such a masterpiece..

It's the promo of the promo? That makes absolutely no sense at all!

Too right, Nic ....I was soooo disappointed to find that video was edited...WHY BOTHER RELEASING A TRUNCATED VERSION !!???.......especially it should be viewed as a Jonathan Demme's masterpiece & that late Polish-sounding man who was behind the camera.....
