I'm new to this mailing list lark. Hope I get it right...
Andy Lee was kind enough to send me a copy of The Work on DVD recently, and jolly good it is too. However, I reckon it can be better. Much of the video's fine, but things like This Is Not..., Waiting and WTIL MTV could be re-encoded, The Rites of Mu and Stadium House could be cropped for widescreen, Madrugaga Eterna could be edited from The White Room, and so on. The real bug-bear for me is the audio hiss, most of which could be replaced with CD-quality audio very easily, and that which can't, I can record in real-time from VHS, minus hiss. Things like the "cornfield" version of WTIL, the TOTP appearances, the Brit Awards or even the Omnibus doc could be added too (or, in other words, a load of this stuff:

Trouble is, while I have the means to record all this stuff, I lack most of the video. I have Waiting, Stadium House and the Indie video with Kylie Said To Jason, but that's it. I might, and this is a big "might", be able to re-source the music videos at broadcast quality too. But if any of the rare stuff can be included, I'll need your help getting some of it. If you reckon you can help, give me a shout at this email address, listing what you have and what condition it's in, and let's see if we can't create... I dunno, The Work 2011 on DVD? Got a nice ring to it I suppose. Might even use it as the title of this message... Thanks.
