Jerryshadoe saved the day, and managed to found the compact disc for the future bonus disc; thank you, Jerry!!!
Awesome news!
UPDATE
Cover is ready - I like it, but I need your opinions:

I have a suggestion. The text is a little hard to read, to avoid eyestrain I would suggest something similar to this:
Also, I'm not too sure the "before & after" pictures are gonna come out good in print.
Leonardo, thanks for the idea!
I'd like to do not be forced to use that box; instead, I could change the color of the text - as you can note, there are two colors, one for the shadow and one for the text; if you could suggest some color combination, I'm all ears!
Also, think this is a 50% reduced version; after you have suggested other possible text colors, I'll post a full version, so you could evaluate both text and screenshot comparison.

Just increase the text border and/or shadow size, then. The white streaks in the clouds really make it hard to see it otherwise.
IMHO any text color other than black or white isn't such a hot idea.
I followed your advice, thanks!
Here you are the latest version, full size:

what do you think?
JEDIT:
don't mind at the little blemishes in the comparison screenshots, I noted them and just solved the problem...

Loving the cover, and definitely looking forward to this release! This movie is so underappreciated, it's not even funny.
“Lifes a song you don’t get to rehearse, and every single verse can make it that much worse”
That looks great, Andrea.
I guess the only question is whether to keep the screenshot comparison on the cover or not.
I have no idea what this movie is. I read through the first page and still have no idea. There was no description at all. Is it this?:

That's correct.
I'm happy I could help out Andrea by providing the soundtrack;)
I like to collect soundtracks and, over the years, have "established" some friendships on the internet where I am able to acquire rare/oop soundtracks usually in FLAC. In this case, a friend of mine in China (who doesn't want to be named) helped provide the soundtrack. If anyone needs help locating certain soundtracks, feel free to PM me and I'll see what I can do.
As far as the cover art is concerned, very nice job Andrea BUT if I may make one suggestion... That screenshot comparison might look nice when looking at the images on a computer, but once printed out for the actual cover I believe that the images will be too small to really see the details and therefore the differences between the two. What do others think?
At 300dpi, cover details will be fine enough; the screenshot comparison is there just to compare contrast and colors, that's it - I had to "fill" the back cover somehow... (^^,)

The printed comparison is not that necessary anyway in my opinion. Mabye we could just use two crops of screenshots (no comparison).
Like this for example (I like these two crops):

I always put screenshot comparison in my previous covers... how can I change this habit?!? (^^,)
OK, I must admit the two crops are good, so I'll think about the possibility to make the final cover like this...

I'm guessing you didn't use the "making of" capture for this?
Looking through the thread history, it looks like the VHS capture will be included on the bonus disc that will be released soon
Join the dark side… and get a free cookie!
Yes, "the making of", along with other interesting extra material, will be released as a stand-alone bonus disc... stay tuned!

I am going to seed before I burn and watch. When I do that, I'll give the word here, LOL.
Thanks for doing it Andrea. I look forward to watching it.
