"What does PAL & NTSC mean?"

PAL & NTSC are the two main video standards used globally for televisions, DVD players etc. As a rough guide PAL is predominantly used in the UK, Europe and many parts of Asia and Africa and NTSC features mostly in the US, Canada, most of South America and Japan. If you are not sure of the video standard you use in your country then click here for more information.

"What region are your DVDs?"

All of our LickLibrary branded DVDs are 'Region Free' / 'Region 0' as they are educational and therefore have no geographical playback restrictions apart from the video format (read 'Can I watch a PAL DVD on a NTSC based system & vice versa' for more information).

"Can I watch a PAL DVD on a NTSC based system & vice versa?"

Whilst it is generally possible for PAL set top DVD players to play NTSC formatted discs (if the DVD player is ‘Multi REGION’ capable), unfortunately most NTSC set top players by default CANNOT play PAL DVDs unless the device is 'Multi FORMAT' capable (not be confused with 'multi REGION') which in this case such NTSC set top players can convert PAL format DVDs on the fly to play directly on a NTSC TV (but you will need to check with your DVD player's documentation or manufacturer to confirm this).

"I live in a country that uses NTSC, is there any way I can watch a PAL format DVD?"

Yes there is! Apart from getting your hands on a 'Multi FORMAT' set top DVD player (mentioned above) the other easy option you have is to use your computer's in-built DVD player, as ALL computer based DVD players (on both PC and Mac) are NOT subject to video format restrictions and will happily play BOTH PAL & NTSC DVDs irrespective of which country you live in. Please note that DVD players used in games consoles (X Box, Playstation, Wii etc) DO NOT always support both video formats so again you will have to check with the manufacturer for more information.

Product Description

Using personal interviews from their hometown of Blackwood, and reminiscences of their friends and neighbours, rock journalist Mick Middles' biography of The Manic Street Preachers explores their Welsh roots and their progress from local performers to international heroes.
With commercial success assured, the Manics have sometimes been charged with deserting their punk roots. Middles shows how their background and early anger were worked into their music, the result of which was a series of great albums. As he says: 'Few people can touch them, and although they have crossed over to the mainstream with their first two albums, they are still screaming loudly from their Welsh heart.'
Central to the rise of the Manic Street Preachers has been the mysterious disappearance of founder member Richey Edwards whose apparent suicide cast a giant shadow over the band. Middles examines the circumstances of Edwards' fate and the legacy he passed on.
This biography fixes the elusive personalities that make up the Manics, offering a complete portrait of the most admired band ever to have emerged from Wales.
Fully illustrated.
