Or - what would be much more important - those interesting pieces like
the BBC Christmas Special (to get it in really good quality) or any other
of the 'underground' videos. But I don't think they would even come up
with anything that's that interesting: The Prince-weekend they did recently
will serve me as an example. I know a Prince fan who said that the Prince
fan club (whichever of them) has approached MTV Europe (early enough for
such a thing) with information like 'Please get the tape numbered xyz... from
the MTV USA archives, it's a pretty interesting Prince thingy', but they 
didn't even bother to get the stuff from their American collaegues. They
wouldn't even had much work to do or money to spend (archive numbers were
given and it's - more or less - the same company), but they again showed only 
the stuff that's absolutely boring for the collector kind of fans (insofar as 
they already have that kind of stuff they play on xxx-Weekends).

But - I think it would be good to try it. KT even has a round birthday
this year, so it's a good idea.
