From her album Greatest Hits, "What Kind Of Fool " was omitted. From her last album with Deconstruction, Impossible Princess, "Some Kind Of Bliss" and her Australian single "Cowboy Style" did not feature on the DVD. From her first album with Parlophone, Light Years, the video for the selected territories single "Your Disco Needs You" was not included. The rest of the missing videos, except "Your Disco Needs You", are on Minogue's DVD album Greatest Hits 1987–1999.

Video edits

"Can't Get You Out of My Head" has been edited as a radio edit as it is shorter than the one released online. As "Giving You Up" had an exception for not including in the DVD, it had a sample instrumental intro on the menu page. The 1988 version of "The Loco-Motion" was included worldwide, excluding the 1987 Australian version. "On A Night Like This" was also edited.
