"The Collection" bootleg video. (long)

[Ronald.Girardin@Dartmouth.EDU (Ronald Girardin)]

Greetings Love-hounds,

   About a month ago a bought the bootleg video called "The Collection" 
(Not to be confused with the Lovehound Collection which we all know was a
beautiful piece of collaborative work from some of our more distinguished
Lovehounds).   Anyway, Ther are a few items of interest in this video.  
BTW, it is listed in the collector's guide on page 108...but the video
track list is inaccurate.  Obviously, the author only read the track list
off the cover).     Most of what's on this video is already available in
the Lovehounds Collection or Kateopia.  

Ok, here goes:


1.  The Wedding List  (Prince's Trust Concert)
       - yes, this is the piece where Kate's dress straps snap towards
         the end of the performance.       (picture qaulity:  B)

    Them Heavy People   (Saturday Night Live)

For those of you wondering,  I found this video at a used record store called
Second Coming  in Cambridge, boston, Mass.  (near Harvard square).  They did
have another one available for $15.00....I think...)  (I do not work for them) 


I'm willing to make the "new" stuff available for a future video collection
project (like the Lovehounds Collection or Kate-opia).  Just email me and we
can set something up.  :-)

peace
