[kj] KJ DVD (sound and others)...

[Alexander Smith]

The Title:
Well, the front reads: KILLING JOKE XXV GATHERING. The spine, however, 
reads: KILLING JOKE - THE BAND THAT PREYS TOGETHER, STAYS TOGETHER.

I found mine at FYE (a chain comparable to, say, Coconuts or Sam 
Goody's). It shouldn't be *too* hard to find it.

Good luck.

Alex in NYC
