For some reason the videos for 'Barcelona' and 'How Can I Go On' are not in their correct position (numerically).
The DVD contains Surround Sound and Dolby Digital audio tracks, adds interviews with the directors of each video (2-3 minutes only), and contains a colour booklet. Click
here for details of the Surround Sound mixes.

The DVD also includes a number of short edits on the menus. These are '
Barcelona' (on the main menu), 'Barcelona' (a different edit, on the first song selection screen) and 'I Was Born To Love You' (on the third song selection screen). Part of the Thierry Lang piano version of 'Guide Me Home' appears on the second song selection screen.

Surround Sound mixes produced by David Richards and Peter Cobbin except '
I Was Born To Love You' and 'Made In Heaven', produced by Mack, 'Time' and 'In My Defence', produced by Dave Clark, and 'Living On My Own', produced by Paul Hicks.
