[TPIN] A WONDERFUL musical experience

[Peter Pulsifer]

I looked it up on Amazon.com, and was a little puzzled:

"2 used & new available from $126.99"; but an "other version" DVD is  
$20.97 (marked down from $29.98). I assume that the first hit is some  
kind of collectable "first edition"? I think I'll go for the $20  
version...
