OTHER NOTES
This video is a collection of promotional videos released for the album Achtung Baby.  Mixed in between video clips are bits of "interference" which is documentary footage, media clips and bizarre images all mixed together in Zoo TV fashion.  Many of the videos have since been released as part of the Best of 1990 - 2000 DVD so it is unlikely that this release shall be redone on DVD.
