What amazes me is that 'The Best of Vanessa-Mae' was released in September 2002 in the USA ahead of many other countries. Remember, EMI didn't even bother to release StC in the USA at all.

Hi Glenn

Forgive my ignorance but your way of discribing the time of year is unfamilure to me, what month would that be

Hey, that is very strange indeed. 'The Art of War' and the enhanced video element are missing in the German release!

I have to check about the Dutch relaese in the stores, because I ordered my copy via amazon.com immediatley as it became available there, and this was way before it was released in the Netherlands.

Yeh this is the Uk release as well, Well when I say release I mean to be released on march 10th.

Track 17: Art of War is the Video version

Amazon

Does this mean that EMI are listening to our pleas for the release of more video footage?
Or is it just some crazy dream? :p

Xanthippe · Post by **Xanthippe** » Sun Feb 09, 2003 9:59 am

The German amazon site also lists the Best of cd with 17 tracks, including the video element:

Strange!

This really pees me off. You go out and buy an album, then 2 months later they re-release it with extra tracks.

One good thing about living in a country where you have late release dates, you get the re-release 1st

I thought I would be able to play the video footage in Media Player on my computer but it dose not recognise it

.

Any ideas on how to view the video element on
The best of Vanessa Mae.

Hi Gaven,

t is quite easy. Selact 'Run' in your start menu and go to your cdrom drive. Find the start.exe file and press enter. That is all it takes.

It is explained in the Readme file on the cd.

Thanks Rijko

I also had to install quicktime which is all so on The Best of Vanessa Mae CD.

That is the first time I have seen Vanessa Mae other than a photo, the video was a lot of mixed video clips with the The Art of War in the back ground unfortunatly the sound quality on my computer is no where near as good as my HIFI .

But it was worth viewing the Video

It gives you the urge to find more video clips.
