Most definitely a case of 'The Good, The Bad & The Ugly' with this release. 
Whilst I always appreciate the efforts of anyone who puts together this type of 
release I would still prefer to see at least some effort made, especially with 
standards so high in this day and age. So, the good first. Some of this footage 
is very nice. Clear and steady close-ups mixed in with some wide angled shots. 
Ermm....that's it really. The bad is that most of the footage is not of great 
quality at all (which renders the Blu-ray version of this a waste of time, 
really). The audio sync is off at times and we're also treated to staring at 
very low-res, poorly rendered graphicical 'interludes' for certain sections of 
the show as no video footage was available to use. This gets irritating pretty 
fast and if no real effort was ever going to be made on a decent replacement 
visual, then I'd rather have seen these songs omitted all together. The audio 
isn't too bad for the most part but certainly could have benefitted from some 
treatment. The ugly concerns the drab visuals and very basic menus. Again, low 
res graphics have been used which really don't help this release one bit and the 
less said about the 'artwork' the better. I hate to be overly critical but 
unfortunately this is one of those times where the bad far out weighs the good. 
Label name 'Trash Productions' is certainly an apt one and, maybe, intentionally 
ironic, which would be a shame as this would indicate the makers were well aware 
of their limititaions and final work. Overall, one for the archive until such 
time a better put together replacement emerges.
