Well, at least some of it (Christmas Special 'Kate', December Will Be Magic
Again video, Delius video and some more things) definitely were like first-
generation-with-a-modern-and-new-hifi-PAL-vhs-vcr quality. I've heard other
complains about quality in the European PAL-branch of the distribution tree.
Which is a pity. The sources are almost all very good to excellent. I'd do
something about this if both of these were true: a) I would have to have a
second hifi vcr and b) I would have to have more time. The first reason is
more important. Visit me, bring-a-long your good vcr, and we can make a good
dub of some of the stuff. Better than the S-VHS submasters of the tree ;-).
(I do NOT have a copy of the collection-as-it-is, just all the clips except
a very minor one, but scattered across a multitude of tapes.)
