I understand. Then youre proably happy that the Stones DVD might be tanking!
Hopefully weak sales will convince the Stones and other artists that cutting
out the middleman and going with just one retailer was a terrible idea. I
wonder if this DVD set was issued outside North America to any store/chain
that
wanted to carry it.
