atm711 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I am trying to locate a copy of the DVD. I placed my order with Amazon on July 11 and I am waiting very impatiently for it. The last delivery date I had was for Nov. 2--and it has been put off again Is there any hope of finding it elsewhere? Link to comment
BalletNut Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Have you tried contacting the publisher directly? I'd hate to think it went out of print that quickly. Link to comment
LadyRosa Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 You can try searching at eBaycom too. There are a few good DVD sellers on eBay. Good luck! Link to comment
DSanderson Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I am trying to locate a copy of the DVD. I placed my order with Amazon on July 11 and I am waiting very impatiently for it. The last delivery date I had was for Nov. 2--and it has been put off again Is there any hope of finding it elsewhere? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> (Edited to remove reference to non-Amazon.com retailer.) I just checked Amazon.com, and the problem is that the DVD is listed twice! One is listed as "special order" or out of stock, while the other is listed as in stock and will likely ship in 24 hours. The one in stock is $29.68. Problem solved! Link to comment
carbro Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Worth noting that since it's over $25.00 on Amazon, it qualifies for free shipping and may even end up costing less than from other e-tailers. Link to comment
atm711 Posted November 5, 2005 Author Share Posted November 5, 2005 Many thanks for your replies---Amazon did e-mail me and said I was one step ahead of them--their supplier is late (again!) and the new delivery date is early December. (I have tried to find it elsewhere, but no luck---Amazon has managed to placate me by offering free one-day service Link to comment
jorgen Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Atm711, why do you necessarily want that release? Does it differ from the other one in stock from a different studio (Bel Air Classiques)? Link to comment
BalletNut Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 No, the one for sale on Amazon is the version put out by Bel Air Classiques. Link to comment
kfw Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 I wonder why Amazon has trouble stocking this. I just found a copy at my local record store! Link to comment
art076 Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 As DSanderson mentioned - Amazon seems to be mistakenly offering two versions. One looks like the European release, the other the American release - both look exactly the same, except one will actually be shipped to you while the other involves considerably more complications. I received my copy within a week of ordering, during the first week of release. Check to make sure you have ordered the one that says "Ships within 24 hours" and not the one that says "Special Order." One you should order: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009Y26A...&s=dvd&v=glance One you should not: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009ETDC...&s=dvd&v=glance Of course, when ordering - make sure to link off of the amazon.com banner on this web site, so that BalletTalk gets a kick back!!

atm711 Posted November 13, 2005 Author Share Posted November 13, 2005 This keeps getting more curious---after reading these last few replies, I have contacted Amazon again (for the third time). I tried to get it at the Performing Arts Shop at Lincoln Center, but no luck. I have taken refuge in the DVD of Zakharova's 'Swan Lake'. Link to comment

For example, CD Universe has this for $25.99: Pharaoh's Daughter Dana Link to comment
Helene Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Although we're really happy when Ballet Talkers purchase using the amazon.com link above because it generates a little bit of income for us, if amazon does not carry an item, if amazon can't deliver in a timely manner, or if the item is offered through third-party, and you don't feel comfortable ordering from it, please don't hesitate to order from a different site. It's better that you get the DVD/book/tape etc. and enjoy the performance. Link to comment
atm711 Posted November 14, 2005 Author Share Posted November 14, 2005 Thank you, DSanderson, I ordered it from Video Universe. It's expected Nov. 15 to Nov. 21--we shall see , and yes, Helene, I agree--order from Amazon whenever possible. Link to comment
atm711 Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 My quest is over---it was mailed today. I can see one benefit to all this--I can now spell 'pharaoh' without having to think twice. Link to comment
