The videos on this release were later re-released as part of the 2006 double DVD set 'Lover Of Life, Singer Of Songs', with the addition of the 1993 radio mix of 'Living On My Own'. Each video features a proper title screen, with a still photograph from the video.

The DVD adds short 2-3 minute interviews with the directors about the making of each video: five with David Mallet, three with Gavin Taylor, two with Rudi Dolezal and Hannes Rossacher, and one with Rudi Dolezal alone.

The DVD also features surround sound and dolby digital mixes for each video and comes with a colour booklet. It includes a number of short edits on the various menus, namely 'Barcelona' (two different edits, on the main menu and 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.
