The Party At The Palace (which we mentioned last week) is released on Region 2 DVD (Europe) on July 1st, by the BBC. The CD of the concert is released by Virgin Records on June 24th... However, there was no obvious sign of David appearing on the night, despite being due to perform (as per Michael Kamen's comments, reported previously). The releases are for charity, and despite the concert being a bit bizarre in places (an apparently embalmed Brian Wilson, a bemused Tony Bennett, and a hopelessly out of his depth Will Young) still worth a look if you missed it on television.

For our friends in North America, the DVD is due to be released on Region 1 DVD on July 2nd, by Naxos. Running time of the DVD is expected to be three hours, and it has a recommended retail price of US$22.99.
