Additional comments:
This Video-CD has been made by converting the original DVD "Music for Montserrrat". So, it's not really an official Video-CD but the quality is the best I've ever seen from any Video-CD. Everything of the official DVD is featured on these two Video CD's. Great performance of Mark, not only on his own songs, but also with Eric Clapton including a great version of Layla! Some extra information about the charity: some of rock music's biggest stars performed at a benefit concert in London on Monday, September 15th to raise money for the volcano-ravaged Caribbean island of Montserrat. The concert has been organised by Sir George and Lady Martin together with Harvey Goldsmith to raise funds for the victims of the Soufriere volcano on the island of Montserrat which has been in a continuous state of eruption since July 1993. The most recent explosion in June 1997 killed 19 people and rendered 1500 homeless. Beatles producer George Martin, who has a luxury home and recording studio on the island, hopes to raise at least £500,000 with the charity. Available on two CD-R's.

Video-CD's can be played on DVD players or normal CD-ROM players using Windows Media Player. I can play this Video-CD on my external Sony DVD player (DVP-NS705V) without any problem. Note however that some DVD players have problems with Video-CD's. So I can only guarantee that they work on your PC CD-ROM drive!
