Thank you for posting this Ian. We had so much fun compiling this video. We also had plans to release an accompanying video containing tv performances and live performances, but the licensing issues proved too difficult an obstacle to overcome. Diana herself was delighted by this collection and she was actively involved in it's compilation. She expressed regret at not getting involved in the promotional video much earlier in her career, and i had to agree with her on that one. What could have been........Quote:

We did try Reese. I spent several weeks banging my head against a brick wall, or i may as well have done. It was so frustrating . It would have been a similar format to the REFLECTIONS dvd . Diana was excited by the idea and when i mentioned certain performances that i wanted to include she admitted she had totally forgotten about some of them. That confirmed to me that i knew more about her career than she did!!Quote:

Is it greed???
There are so many videos that could be.and Everytime we get close to a DVD the bottom falls out
It all depends upon who owns the copyright. We were able to license a few UK tv performances but performances of LOVE HANGOVER, REACH OUT AND TOUCH, ANMHE, MAHOGANY , and ENDLESS LOVE proved too difficult. Without those performances i felt it to be incomplete . Maybe i should have gone with what i had but it would have been criticised for not being definitive.Quote:
