If so, that sounds quite different content from the Elements DVD which I think is what Caveman is describing? -------------- "I say I say I say I say, what's got three bottles and five eyes and no legs and two wheels" Back to top

I have the Elements DVD and it doesn't contain the same material as Essential, noteably the Airborne animated logo between chapters. The performance of TB and Ommadawn are quite different too.

Because we cannot tolerate greatness in our midst we do all we can to destroy it." Schopenhauer said something along similar lines: ""Mankind has not so much power to receive as the genius has power to give" Back to top

Hifiguru Group: Members Posts: 275 Joined: Aug. 2002 Posted: Jan. 22 2011, 17:29 i believe media asia version is not as good because of less space used in disc that brings up more visible compression junk so i guess i need to wait to get recordable blu-ray and do laserdisc transfer to it so quality will not decreasing. i see its re-released in dvd in germany recently according to release date 11.11.2010 does anyone know where you can buy it cheapest (that has international shipping)? also i found out that live montreux dvd gets re-release with different cover in august 2011 and that is already in preorder in amazon.de so i might order it just because of different cover... -------------- -TB Limited ultimate edition 2009 (still sealed) -Hergest Ridge Limited 2010 #017 -Ommadawn Limited 2010 #065 -Incantations Limited 2011 #003 -Platinum Limited 2012 #316 -QE2 Limited 2012 #112 -Opening Ceremony London 2012 #61 -Five Miles Out 2013 Limited LP #116 -Crises 2013 Limited LP #259 Back to top

manintherain Group: Members. Posts: 546 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: Sep. 02 2011, 03:12 As far as I know it´s Tubular Bells Part One. The shirt was a present from his then girlfriend Sally and the notes were made from diamond dust. Back to top
