I want to buy 500 copies of a Warner Brothers Reprise VHS from 1986
"Home of the Brave, a film by Laurie Anderson". This is long out of
print in the U..S. but still sold in England, however, in the wrong
format (they use PAL, we use NTSC). I want to buy these in NTSC from
??? in the USA, , or import them from England but with a special run
in NTSC, or buy the rights to simply duplicate a limited quantity. I
need the simplest, not cheapest approach and who to contact - exactly
and how.

I'm working on it, but if this shows up in quantity in Laser Disc
format, would that be of interest?  Or is video the only and only
format for you?

Also, I've got a call into Warner Bros. re: getting 500 copies, or a
single copy and reproduction rights for 500.  If they ask me (and they
*will* ask me):  "Whaddya want 500 copies for..?", is there anything I
can tell them?

And one more thing...there seems to be a copy of the video available
-- NTSC format -- at this site:

I want 500 copies because I believe I can sell them. The link you sent
from Eeditions - this "company" sell bad fake copies. Getting screwed
by them started this quest. Laser disc is no use, this format is long
gone. I think that England will have to be the source but of course, I
don't know from whom. Thanks for working on this.

VHS NTSC is the most plausible.. I doubt if there is a DVD version
available. VHS NTSC will suit me perfectly.

I am amazed that this film has gone out of print. Laurie Anderson is a
genius. Her rendition of "O Superman" sends chills up my spine.

Good luck in obtaining copies to sell.
