입소문 유명세를 탔던 이 음악 다큐멘터리는 많은 사람들이 극장 개봉이 되긴 힘들거라는 생각했고, 그래서인지 많은 사람들이 해외로 고개를 돌리게 만들게 하였다. 결국 유명세의 힘으로 국내 영화제를 통해서 소개되고, 박스세트로 우리나라에도 출시가 되었으니 미디어에 척박했던 시절이 옛말인가 싶은 생각이 들 정도였다.
2005년경에 이 물건이 왔을 당시에 예상을 넘는 길이에 적잖이 당황했었다. 게다가 도착날짜가 훨씬 지났음에도 도착이 안되어 다시 메일을 보냈다가 결국에는 한참 헤매이다 도착한 첫번째 물건과 아마존 독일측에서 다시 보내주었던 두번째 물건이 연달아 도착하면서 또 한 번 당황하였다.
2004년 12월에 독일에서 출시되었던 기타모양의 더 블루스 DVD 기타모양 한정판 박스세트 기타모양으로 구성되어 있어서 참 맛깔스럽게 구성을 했다는 느낌이 난다.
