Customer Rating: Summary: Could have been better Comment: Well as with the review above i waited a long time for this and i was most upset when it arrived, The disc is worth the cash if your a blur fan just for the extra's ( a interesting camcorder recording of one of there first gigs and a full concert of the modern life era both with the camcorder gig being the quality you would expect from 10+ year old camcorder footage and the quality of the modern life gig footage is a+++++)but if you buying it just for the starshaped film i wouldnt bother the sound quality is disgusting and is like this on all dvd's ( a mastering problem apparently) my copy i have on vhs is 100 times better, so as in the other review, only buy if your a big fan and can put up with the bad sound... but the extra's are great Customer Rating: Summary: Good bonus footage, marred by mastering error on main film! Comment: Well, I was looking forward to owning Starshaped on DVD... having watched my old version on VHS many, many times. unfortunately, due to a mastering error, which has apparently affected all region releases - the main film is unwatchable. every piece of live music during the film is badly distorted. This is obviously a mastering error, and the sound was perfect on the VHS version. And what have EMI done about this problem? Nothing. Not a single thing. Not even a statement. This certainly wouldn't have happened to a Robbie Williams release. How difficult is it to watch the finished DVD before approving it for retail???
On the plus side - the older footage, from 1990 and 1991 is great. Definately worth owning. There's even a hidden track containing the US version of There's No Other Way - a video rarely seen on TV anywhere.
In conclusion - wait until EMI fix the audio problem before shelling out your hard-earning money.
