<DIV>Dear all</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Summer is over, the Gouldian Season is upon us, the time of year when the
sky is battleship grey, the general mood is f_minor and I have no doubt that by
the end of the month I have to wear clothes similar to Mr Gould’s year-in,
year-out outfit.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This is also the time of gouldian re-(re-re-re-re-re-re-)releases and so
far the harvest is average. But there is one item I found that might be of
interest to some of you.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The documentary “Russian Journey” is to be released on DVD and BluRay at
the end of the month, here is the DVD listing at amazon.co.uk:</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>and here the BluRay version:</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Amazon central is also selling this title. Please note however that
according to the UK site info the DVD has no country restrictions while the
BluRay is A/1 only, which I find a bit odd.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It is my understanding that this is not a “legit” Sony reelease, which
raises a few interesting questions when it comes to these matters. Not that I am
taking the side of Sony, but just in general.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This also was a very important event in the career of Mr Gould and without
a doubt a large part that helped to build the “legend” of Mr. Gould and an
interesting part of his hagiography. It must have been summet like Beatlemania
at times and I often wonder how Mr. Gould thought about that. Even with his
alleged distate for touring he must have loved parts of this strange
journey.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It is also my understanding that this is/was difficult to find at times so
I reckon this is a no-brainer for any hardcore GG fan.</DIV>
