richard53dog Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 http://cgi.ebay.com/ROYAL-ACADEMY-OF-DANCE...id=p3286.c0.m14 I'd love to see this. But a PAL VHS...ugh..not easy here in the US Link to comment
rg Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 admittedly in this fast-moving media era, VHS PAL souds like a throwback to the stone age. there was at least one thread on this tape here a while back, and if mem. serves there are parts of the vid on youtube, or for all i know all of it is there. more adept BT members could point to this previous thread or threads. for all know this is even on dvd somewhere. just thought i'd post this item, which is somewhat hard-to-find, so far as i can tell.

Jane Simpson Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 It is available on DVD - see the RAD site - but still only in PAL, apparently. Link to comment
rg Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 ah, then the videocassette sale is more or less pointless. maybe this thread should just be deleted? Link to comment
carbro Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 We have readers in PAL countries who may prefer to buy a VHS at the low price. Link to comment
cubanmiamiboy Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Not pointless at all, rg. There ought to be people out there who, like me, not only owns a PAL VCR, but even a records player, and I've been able to watch and listen to a LOT of rarities this way...(like a 1904 74 rpm recording of Caruso I caught the other day for $1.50 at a thrift store)...so there, you never know.

innopac Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 At the beginning of the year I bought, from the RAD website, a video of Mime Matters that was NTSC. Just checked and they have now removed the video from their website. Maybe they are thinking of bringing out a dvd version in NTSC. Link to comment
rg Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 it's good to have this range of thinking concerning such things as these. i guess i'll continue to post various, hard-to-find/out-of-the-way items that would seem of some interest to ballettalk if and when they appear somewhere on-line, etc. if they turn out to be redundant, they won't take up too much space here and if they do, i trust some enlightened moderator can just move 'em off, w/ no harm done.

It is wonderful that you do post information about those items. In the past the ones I have checked on have been snaffled up very quickly! Also, it is possible to get a PAL video converted into a video that is NTSC. Or if you can copy the PAL video to dvd you can then watch it on your computer. Link to comment

Hey, I finally got my Makarova-Misha "Giselle" thanks to you, rg!! Link to comment
Paul Parish Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 "Mime Matters" is enormously valuable. I posted something about it quite a while ago, re the passage in it where Anthony Dowell and Antoinette Sibley teach the mime scene from Swan Lake -- which is wonderfully imaginative and gives some idea of what they two were like in that ballet.
