It's great that he says "I went through my own archieves". What other wonders does he have hidden in the vault.

I don´t think Jarre is to blame (well partially though) but more the company he works for everytime... Sony was planning to release SACD if I recall corretly, but it got put on hold (and I guess by now canned) when Jarre left in favor for Warner... So I guess the higher quality releases are somewhere, but we just have to wait for the studios to finally do it... Anyway the current remasters are godawfull (well some are halfway decend), my vinyl records with all the pop and clicks sound better, especially with one of the CD I ripped seemed to have been pushed towards the volume limit, which is never a good idea regarding the quality!

Plus I would like to make a sidenote that the recording of his concerts in HD is probably a horrible idea, it's good for now, but what happens when the TV resolutions become's 7,680 × 4,320 (Ultra High Definition)..? Then your stuck on your 1920*1080 resolution with no possible way to get any more detail and clarity out of it... I would rather hear him brag that the entire concert was recorded on 70mm film (Imax ofcourse not 70mm conventional), now then he would have something to say that there is no possible higher quality :D

The problem with what Jarre states there is - so 1/ why one disc of rarities and 2/ why re-issued rarites such as LGB if he has so much more.

The tracklist on the Rarities disc is as much as JMJ wants to let FDM release. If there were any subsequent release, I think it would be via another label.
Concerts attended:
Destination Docklands 1988
Paris la Defense 1990
Europe in Concert - Wembley Stadium 1993
Oxygene Tour - Wembley Arena 1997

Well, we've "only" got 1080p so that is ok for now. The new concerts could be recorded in 4K as a master, but I don't see any point in telling that "live in you livingroom" is recorded in HD, when it's still only on DVD?
