EMI "Holiday Gift Pack" sets at Amazon

Actually, the Massive Attack set combines the 2-CD version of "Collected" (1st disc hits, 2nd disc rarities) with the "Eleven Promos" DVD...

This might be a silly question but because these are imports is there a chance that the dvds might be region-challenged?

Are these actually imports, though? They match the import packages, but the labels all refer to the domestic arms of EMI. K.T. Tunstall's says it's coming out on "Virgin Records US". The ones which are on Parlophone in Europe say "Capitol/EMI".

We might need Jimbo to "taste test" a promo and report in.

I'll have to see if they turn up as promos. Got most of this stuff already, but for the right price...
