DVD releases Title DVD details Notes Alizée en concert Released: 18 October 2004 (France) / 22 February 2008(Mexico) Label: Polydor Records / Requiem Publishing Format: DVD Contains En concert Tour compilation of live concerts of Alizée's first tour between September 2003 and January 2004 in France, Belgium and Switzerland. At least footage from L'Olympia (August/September 2003) and Le Zénith (17 January 2004) in Paris can be recognized, also some footage from Forest National in Brussels (12 October 2003). The Mexican edition has very poor quality as it was released as letterboxed NTSC format and only has 2.0 stereo soundtrack (when French has 5.1 Dolby Digital). Psychédélices Edition Limitée (CD+DVD) Released: 3 December 2007 Label: Wisteria Song / RCA Records / Sony BMG Format: CD/DVD The CD contains 11 songs (same as the normal edition). The DVD contains only a short video story called Spychédélices. On the video Alizée is driving a 1970 Mustang convertible. The video is shaky all the time and shows only glimpses of Alizée and the car. On the background is playing the instrumental bridge of Psychédélices song. Also, over the instrumental is narration by Jean Fauque, one of the writers for the album. The video was also released on Alizée's official website, but without the voice over and using two different songs on the background. Psychedelices CD+DVD Released: 25 June 2008 Label: Wisteria Song / RCA Records / Sony BMG Format: CD/DVD The CD contains the normal 11 songs with four bonus songs (La Isla Bonita and three remixes of Fifty-Sixty).
