Notes

DVD is divided into three sections:
– Song Select – 37 Video Clips
– Monumental – Key Singles and Documentary Footage
– Monumental II – The Follow Up Hits
Both Monumental sections present video clips in a faux feature documentary style, linked by comedic and other documentary material. Though titled “Monumental” on the DVD menu, within the feature itself it is titled “Monumental As Anything”. The video clips from the two Monumental sections are able to be individually selected in the Song Select section.
