This excellent DVD collection was delivered in 2 business days. It’s obviously the result of much research, and has been created with the dedication of a true fan which is what MVR has provided. Robert Palmer was an artist of immense talent, and this collection showcases that in great detail. Nicely edited, I can watch this over and over. Well done!
