Wild World: A Musical Documentary

Strong musical performances but rotten video quality + permanent on-screen company logos
The 1971 BBC TV program is wonderful, great music and performances, and anyone who loved Cat Stevens' music around 1970-1973 will really enjoy hearing and seeing these films.

But, what they will NOT enjoy is the poor video quality, plus there are not one but two logos that are permanently on screen and annoying during the entire running time of the DVD. One at the top left says "LIVE". How stupid can the producers be to put something like than over the film? The other logo on the lower right is the company logo. And these are not small areas on screen either, they are huge. If the company thinks pushing their company logo at the consumer while viewing the films is a good promotional idea, they're fools. I don't buy a DVD to have the company logo staring me in the face during the whole program.

The video quality is also acceptable but looks washed out. You can view the BBC performance on Youtube and the quality there is excellent compared to this DVD...

Great music but poor video & NOT a documentary
Completely agree with previous review about the annoying logos and poor video quality. Also would add that this is a compilation of concert footage with no life story, interviews, or narrative that are typical of a "documentary" as this DVD is billed. Cat Stevens and his music is the only redeeming quality of this DVD.

Cat Stevens: Wild World
This DVD is a concert film, it is not a documentary. I was satisfied with the audio and video quality. The logos on the corners of the screen could have been left out. This DVD contains live versions of I Love My Dog, Bitter Blue, and How Can I Tell You which do not appear on his other concert films. All Cat Steven fans should buy this DVD.
