It covers all the promos from the East West period - any of the videos on YouTube with a blue title screen at the start are ripped from the DVD.

Here you go:

How much? I ordered this from HMV Japan years ago and got badly stung by taxman a few weeks after receiving the DVD... alas it was before the YouTube phemononen. I'm actually embarasassed to say how much I paid for it.

I paid £35 for mine off eBay and when it was delivered I found it was a copied dvd with a scan of the cover. Not impressed to say the least.

Surely you could open up a complaint thingy. Im pretty sure ebay or paypal would sway in your favour if the item wasnt how it was described.

To be honest, I couldn't be arsed and just took it on the chin. It was a case of 'lesson learnt' really. At very least I got a dvd of The Wildhearts that I really wanted, even if it was a bent copy!

Shall i fess up?!!

It was something like £40 and then the tax man hit me with a bill for £25. That's roughly it as I tried hard to not tell Mrs VanRad.

£65 for a DVD Ouch! :coat:

Happened to me too, I complained and got my money back and got told to keep the dvd.

£25 taxes on a £40 dvd? That sounds a lot?
