The one with the original cover or the one with Alice's makeup with green background?

The one to look for is the double DVD version (the green/snakeskin one), as it obviously has much more content. However I'm not sure if that is still available.

The double disc has more content but i seem to remember the american version of prime cuts has an extra 10-20second interview with kip winger....not sure why it was cut from other versions tho?

yes, as stated on the link I posted.
But it's very short, so 80 minutes of extras on the second disc beats it out ;)
If nothing else the double disc has the RYF rehearsal footage! You have to have that!

Does anyone know why the kip winger/kane bits were cut from the EU release? doesnt seem to make much sense to me

I could be wrong but I think it was the other way around. The footage was ADDED to the US release rather than cut from the EU version. The EU version came first *I think*, and with teh wrong cover (it was supposed to be the flower pic of Alice on later versions).

The original DVD has MUCH better video quality compared to the 2 disc, which is cropped to 16x9 and not as sharp…and also the colors seem a bit muted. Just a lousy transfer. It also doesn’t have the Kane/Kip section. The bonus disc is nice though for the extended Behind the Music interviews and 87 rehearsal footage.

That's a very good point.
I'd forgotten that despite Sickthing pointing it out to me only recently. I'll add a note to the video page to reflect that.
