I think at this time it is only available from Amazon.de or other German mail order services. On the cover it says Zone 2 , but when I looked into the information tab of the DVD itself from within my Power DVD software, all Zones are listed as compliend. It is a PAL DVD and on the computer plays in glorious full screen mode without any black bars in sight. Was surprised to see TGPT drumming on the 2 bonus tracks from the "Flesh And Blood" period, I think he is neither on the album nor was he participating in the tour (?)

I suppose I was hopping for some "new" Bryan images, it strikes me as more of a 7" single cover. I wonder how much input Bryan had into the concept? After reading many moons ago (I think it was in Q) about him agonising about the colour of the typeface on Mammouna (red or yellow.....ooooohhhh....hummm...ends up using both.) Speaking (or typing) of typefaces (whoops I've just confused myself) I really like this one, it's the best thing about the cover (IMO) and certainly harks back to STL and Stranded covers as Jocelyn says, but it immediately reminded me of 50's/60's horror/thriller b-movie titles (possibly the obvious Hitchcock connection.) I can just see some poor sod running toward the camera, panicked expression on his face, then suddenly word "frantic" zooms up on screen from nowhere (with the same shade of red/orange - good choice of colour BTW,) then cut to the next poor sod. I would maybe have had the "BRYAN FERRY" type face a little "jiggled around," slightly rotated at different angles to each other to give an even more frantic feel.....but then again I am not a subtle a the Fezmiester! As for the portrait of Bryan used, as I said earlier,its a shame that a recent image was not used, although it may explain the use of the "Bete Noire era" images on the Latest News section of bryanferry.com. Which makes me wonder how long this artwork has been laying around! I like the disintegrated (or is it marbled) effect that is overlaid though. The "split" cover is a nice touch, it gives the title a prominence that would have been lost had it been overlaid on to a full portrait. So, to sum up, a little disappointed with it, apart from the typeface, layout, portrait effects....oh! it seams to have just grown on me! ;-> regards Neil Jones ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2002 15:56:21 -0000 From: "ncjones.lewis2" Subject: Re: [AVALON] Frantic Cover - ----- Original Message ----- From: "ncjones.lewis2" To: Sent: Friday, February 08, 2002 3:51 PM Subject: Re: [AVALON] Frantic Cover > I must admit to being a little disappointed by the cover.

Personally, I don't think he's got much to worry about as long as he keeps those pants under control. Anyone else been watching this? It looks like a really relaxed interview - he seems happy to talk about more or less everything, although it could have been very heavily edited. Any chance of getting hold of the whole thing?
