Quite right Roxy - heaven knows why I thought it came out in 95 - apart from the CD box of the same name. I think I'm confused by the change - at some point in time - from a 2 disc DVD to a (much cheaper and attractice) 1 disc? Who knows? #SeniorMoment!
I am not aware of a 1 disc version.

Also agree about the cover. They used the same shot the only other time that Roxy appeared on Uncut's cover seven years ago but it really is an awful one and just proves how determined they were to use an Eno era photo. Surely there must have been a better one though.
The cover image is not actually a single shot Dean but individual photos of each member put together like a collage. The individual photos are all from the same shoot and there were a lot of group shots from the same photo session. The cover you mention from 2011 in fact has a different shot of Bryan which is a slight improvement on the one they have used for this special edition. It seems like the old mean spirited attitude of the NME "Bryron Ferrari/Biryani Ferret" era is still in force here. I would have thought an "Ultimate Music Guide" was perhaps aimed at a wider audience than the die hard fans who are more than familiar with the contents already in which case a more visually attractive cover might have gained them some extra sales.
