GWAR: NEW COPIES OF 'WAR PARTY LIVE 2004' DVD TO BE MADE AVAILABLE

GWAR fans have been demanding new copies of the out-of-print 'War Party Live 2004' DVD, which often fetches over $200 a copy on eBay. The band's manager, Sleazy P. Martini, has heard the fans' requests and recently posted this message to GWAR fan page BohabCentral.com:
'This new version of 'War Party Live' has better sound then the original due to the distortion that got added along with strange clicks in the audio track resulting from a defect in the manufacture of the original. It is from the same master Quicktime file that was used to make the original sans the clicks. Visually this new version is every bit as good as the original even though it is a DVD-R. This version will have a moving menu with eight chapters listed by the victims and monsters featured in those chapters. The DVD-R has nice direct print label and comes with a thin case with a color cover. Sorry, Euro fans, no PAL or Region 0 yet, but do my best to make sure 'Beyond Hell Live' will be a manufactured as a 0 region DVD. Dear foreign fans, please do not order via the PayPal button and expect to get shipped to Tanzania for $2.50.

'The new version of 'Blood Drive' will be coming out shortly — a couple of weeks, less then a month for sure. This new version will be worth waiting for because the DVD format will get all of the 480 lines of resolution from the DV master tape. All 'Blood Drive' boot legs and even the originals are only VHS which is 240 lines of resolution. Even the bootleg copies on DVD are taken from a 240-line VHS copy. Not a good start for a copy because when it gets compressed that hard twice the picture quality takes a big hit. It will be a DVD-R like 'War Party' for now and also NTSC, sorry no PAL yet. It will have a moving menu with chapter selections with a direct print label however it may not have the original cover. Probably not the same but similar, just so the original owners will know theirs' was a first edition. Not to worry, I'm sure we can find a cool still frame to base the cover on since that's how I did the original. I will be manufacturing them for GWAR as well so they will probably start to become available at the GWAR site as well soon. This is a new strategy to finance the finish and manufacture of 'Beyond Hell Live' and 'Dim Time' documentary and your purchases will help to get these projects manufactured as all-region DVDs.'
