Notes

• Quality varies from clip to clip, but generally ranges from a B to an A+.
• The source content is pro-shot TV appearances from European and Australian TV.
• This is an upgrade of the "625/50 PAL Rarities DVD" released in 2003. This new version comes with 30 mins of new footage that was not on the 2003 version, plus lots of upgraded sources too.
• Video format: PAL, 4:3, bit rate 6.75 mbps
• Audio: bit rate 224 kbps
• This is a single-sided, single-layer DVDR with thumbnails for each title and correct chapter points for titles with more than 1 song.
• Re-mastered using a GTH Electronics ACE colour corrector/TBC, Phonic MU1202 audio mixer and a Realistic 5 band stereo graphic EQ.
• Authored on a Pioneer DVR-530H-S standalone HDD/DVDR.
• Items 2, 3, 4, 11, 15 & 17 are all upgrades over the 2003 PAL Rarities.
• Items 5, 6, 7, 8, & 10 are all new additional titles which did not appear on the 2003 version.
• "Danish TV 1984 - Short interview with Dave + a comment from Lars Ulrich in Danish! - (B+) - 1.5 mins" was on the 2003 disc, but is omitted here because it is available elsewhere in longer form and better quality.
