Is it worth buying?

I have it but I haven't watched it yet...I'll let you know...

Anyone seen it now?

I have it. I've watched it. I rate it below even that 5 disc unauthorised thing that came out around Licks time. It's not new, insightful, or even good. No Stones music, performances, interviews with anyone important. You'd get bored watching it for free on TV.

The justification for it's existance is the complete 'pretending to hitchhike' and 'backstage posing' short film - the bulk of which we all know from 25X5.

I think we only "know" parts of this short film to date. In my opinion "Truth & Lies" got the complete "Rolling Stones Gather Moss" (ABC Cinema, Hull/Oct. 01, 1964) movie for the first time on DVD. It's not the main movie but the bonus material that makes Truth & Lies a must.

also be sure to skip Music Box Biographical Collection's "The Rolling Stones: An unauthorized documentary film containing exclusive interviews and rare archieval photos". It's so bad I couldn't even leave good ebay feedback about the person who sent it promptly (i didn't leave feedback at all).
