Don’t think it can have been withdrawn. I’ve got it. Can’t be the only one either as the album can be ‘found’ if you look for it.

Unless Amazon shouldn’t have shipped it to me,and I now have a very rare album - no Supermarkets, but still collectible.

Perhaps I can put it on eBay and retire.....

:bravo:

Could have been withdrawn in the same way the Concerts in China DVD was back in 2008. *shrug*

That said, there's always an awful lot of weird rights-wrangling going on with JMJ releases. We'd probably have had PLD released on DVD already back in 2003 if it weren't for someone thinking that that release was gonna be profitable to someone else instead of them.

Ugh, don't remind me. Still angers me to this day.

Wait, for real? They didn't bother because someone else would make more money than themselves?

That's the most amazing display of not just wanting some of the money, but nothing but all of the money. Lord...

Yeah, those were the days of JMJ and Dreyfus not being on good terms, so there's a chance that Dreyfus pulled off the release a few weeks before its intended release (after all, one of the reasons why JMJ released AERO was because it had new versions of his tracks whereas Dreyfus held on to the original releases).

https://web.archive.org/web/20030525194 ... rreuk.com/

I mean, I don't think it was ever fully confirmed, but I'm quite sure someone (probably Dreyfus) who could have possibly earned money off the rights didn't want the release to be made, or JMJ didn't want them to earn anything off it.

In any case, IIRC, the Houston and China DVD releases in 2008 were withdrawn due to JMJ himself (even though the China one did manage to hit the shelves and I got my copy at the time), and there hasn't been any sort of JMJ concert releases ever since. : \

I received my set, with special thanks to Doctor Jones, and I really find it quite nice. A lot of interesting concepts throughout the entire thing. But Hexqgone 561... Can we get that track extended to like, four minutes? I really like that one, it's such a great track and it's a shame it's so short and end so abruptly.

Can you tell me what is FNAC, can you give the link please? I did pre-order set in 2 stores. One canceled, another store still keeps my money and does nothing. I'm sure they won't send. :(

Ii won't recommend FNAC (which is www.fnac.com). The item has been delisted from their site. I tried to order it two times and both of the times I got a cancellation after a few weeks.

That's not good. Did you pay via paypal or creditcard? You can file a complaint with both options to get your money back.

Thank you, but link opens this way. I guess this is regional restriction.

Maybe you can advice better online store for the future? (Where I can get rare Jarre editions like that one).

I did pay via creditcard. That store usually works that way. If they can't fulfill the order they keep silence untill you request money back. I'll do request a bit later.

Hmm, looks like it... Ah well, Fnac can't deliver anyway.
In this case I would recommend... I don't know. I guess I got lucky for getting more than 1 copy. I ordered at Plato, my local record shop, and bol.com, a Dutch online retailer. But I think they get their stuff at the same wholesale.

Groove Unlimited (groove.nl, a Dutch webshop specialized in electronic music) did get 15 copies but they were sold out in 5 minutes.

Thanks a lot Dr_Jones. I understand to get it is hard now. I lost my chance to obtain it for real price, therefore my friend helps me to buy it on ebay from UK, unfortunately very expensive. This times there are enough offers for high price or auction.
