_wow_ is the disc that claims to be the amsterdam show from the "tour
of life", but it is, in fact, yet another bootleg made from the audio
track of the hammersmith video. i don't recall the sound quality being
bad, but it's certainly not worth the money if you can find the "live
at the hammersmith odeon" video.

dunno about the sound quality issue.

there is no american version of the box set, but there is a canadian
one which is probably the cheapest (should you be able to find it) of
the three.

pretty sure that the japanese box set includes only japanese liner
notes, though i'm probably wrong. tippi chai was working on translating
the liner notes from the japanese box once upon a time, but, as i
recall, decided not to finish since they seemed to be stolen more or
less from the book _KaTe bush KompleTe_. (my memory may need severe
correction on this!)
