First the bad news:
It's in a jewel case, The track listing on the case is in the wrong order. The only audio option is stereo. There are no extras. It only runs for 64 minutes total.
The good news is it sounds excellent and looks just as good. The Unplugged show has been on TV a couple of times since it was recorded in 1994.It features 10 tracks and runs for 41 minutes. Bjork performs in front of a live audience with a band of excellent musicians. We have a harpist, a saxophone trio, a percussion ensemble, a gent playing wine glasses and more backing the pixie singing some of her best songs from her first two solo albums.
The live & loud show runs for 23 minutes and is a 1998 MTV special where Bjork is experimenting more in the electronic music style. There are 6 songs for this show. The visuals for this are more flashy and 'arty' (you know, the wacky camera angles, distortion filters, colour filters etc).
If you're a Bjork fan it's an essential purchase. If you're a bit ambivalent, I'd recommend waiting the year or so before it gets to Australia (it will be a lot cheaper and it's R0 so it'll be the same disc).
