I remember a seperate vol I and vol II that I never got. This looks like a repackage of both maybe minus a few things.
Can anyone confirm that? I think I will pick this up now that is one release.

This is indeed a repackage. The original Vols 1 & 2 had bonus DVDs with bonus videos & some behind the scenes stuff.

Why volume 2 never had any of the videos from Innuendo was always a mystery to me.

I just noticed that-they're still missing as well as any videos from Made In Heaven. Pass-I knew there was a reason I ignored it the first time around. Ridiculous.

I have the original Vol. 2 DVD with the bonus disc, which had some additional videos (including "Back Chat," a personal favorite), but never got Vol. 1. I seem to recall that most or all of the videos featured a surround sound mix, but I don't remember if they were any good. I was also disappointed that there was nothing from Innuendo or Made In Heaven. Some sort of licensing issue, I imagine, although I thought the entire catalog was eventually owned by one company. I doubt I'll be getting this new collection.

The 1st disc of videos in volumes 1 & 2 were in DTS surround. Sounded pretty good to me.

The 2nd disc in volumes 1 & 2 was stereo.

Although they could have put a lot more in each set, I bought them anyway.

The videos from Innuendo – especially the title track and "These Are The Days Of Our Lives" – should be on DVD! :-x
