<DIV><FONT size=4>By now all that had to be said about Genius Within by those
who have seen it has been said I reckon with the conclusion that the definitve
documentary about GG has yet to be made.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Just for the record and in fairness to tthose who have not
seen it yet a Code 2 version (Europe) on both DVD and Blu-Ray should be
released on March 28th. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4>Contrary to the North American version this one will only be
108 Mins, no word on extra features as of yet.</FONT></DIV>

engineers is frantically working day and night cleaning, editing and rendering
GG’s audiovisual legacy for a deluxe 12 DVD Box Set with tons of extras and
previously unreleased material and a thick booklet for a release in 2012 and
the CBC throwing in a few CDs with material previously unavailable in this
format. Please tell me I am not hallucinating.</FONT></DIV>
