I'll hasten to add that it is still noticably better in sound quality
than the US CD or VHS video tape.  The sound level is a bit lower,
even on the digital soundtrack, than the VHS tape but thats easily
corrected with a touch more volume.  You may elect to crank this up
to eleven anyway since it's neat hearing such clean sound associated
with a video.

Thanks for sharing this, Larry.  On a related note I was looking through
an LD catalog last night and came across a disk listed as simply "Prince's
Trust."  Is this sure to be the one featuring Kate's appearance or
is there more than one of these?
