- Thanks to "rec.music.cd", I have found some very comprehensive sources
- of CD recordings. I'm starting to look for videos now, and don't know
- of any good sources. I am particularly interested in rock concert films,
- preferably on laserdisk.
-
- Another thing I am looking for are recordings of Gilbert & Sullivan
- operettas -- "HMS Pinafore", "The Mikado", and "The Pirates of Penzance"
- in particular. I called PBS Home Video about their series "The Complete
- Gilbert & Sullivan", but they said they were not authorized to distribute
- it. This series was staged specifically for television, and I thought it
- worked better than, say, the Joseph Papp production of "The Pirates of
- Penzance" that had Linda Ronstadt & Kevin Kline. Is this series available
- through any other source? Or can any of you recommend favorite productions?

- Thanks in advance,
