Needless to say, that didn't happen (though I think they use several clips in the disc 2 documentaries).

Yes, I saw this guy's offer some time ago. He claims that his LD is in perfect condition. But I cannot convice somebody to cooperate with me using my weak English. So I did not even try.
There are other ways. I am in touch with a Czech production company specialized on documentaries. They are working on Giger's biography for almost three years. During Fall they spent some time with him in NY and now, after their return to Switzerland, the documentary should be ready for release. The DVD should include the old Necronomicon documentary among other stuff and I am recommending to them to add Giger's Alien too. If there will be both (or even all three together with Passagen) these rare LD documentaries, the DVD collection may sell much better, don't you think?
