I used to have a VHS copy, the performances that really stood out were the Bunnymen, Cramps, Devo and Gary Numan riding around in some weird wheelchair. Klaus Nomi was definitely the scariest part of the video.

It sounds like Warners are a bunch of greedy douchebags, looking for easy money without paying anything to the bands they're making money off of. The DVD isn't even based off the original source according to the article, no remastered sound or restored picture quality.

Warners should go all out on this and do it right. Or Rhino or somebody. I'd love to see all that extra footage in the vault.

Meanwhile, if you want a good DVD copy of it ... http://www.urgh-dvd.com/details.html
