Really-From: IED0DXM%UCLAMVS.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU Well, you're welcome, Mark. Enjoy. Bad news from IED, today. According to the people at the NYC office of Thorn/EMI/Cannon/HBO Video, there is virtually no likelihood of a US release (in NTSC) of The Whole Story. They say that if it's been released in the UK, then they don't have world rights, and if they don't have world rights, they don't release it here. (This is presumably a manifestation of the change in ownership of EMI material that occurred when Globus and Golan took over the video end here.) Also there is still no plan to release the soundtrack to "Brazil" at MCA, and in fact it's not at all clear who even owns the ST anymore. For receivers of cable, however, IED strongly recommends you all watch "Brazil" over and over, beginning this week...
