Sun Ship Game on Youtube - Complete

Yet another peep that did a search for something, found a thread, didn't read the whole thread, then was "less than satisfied" when they couldn't follow a link.

The reason, for the broken link, has been covered already.

Banghead......

After reading this thread, a quick search revealed a seller on eBay. So, I ordered it. About $33 with shipping.

I've watched The Sun Ship Game probably a dozen times in my life but finally bought a copy to play for friends. I agree with Juan Mandelbaum that we should honor the copyright and purchase a copy from Amazon.

Having said that, I wish this would get picked up by Netflix or Amazon Prime and made available to the masses.

Maybe a successful producer and screen-writer will team-up again to make a movie that appeals to the masses, which incorporates soaring as a major theme in the movie and includes eccentric characters and a plot that would move an audience.

Back when the film was unavailable for purchase (a problem with music clearance rights I believe) I made my one and only trip to the world of torrents so I could see this movie. One person was seeding it. Download took days and days. Only a few days after I had completed the download the announcement comes out that is was now available on DVD! I bought one for myself and two for friends. I figured it's well worth the money to both get a better quality copy and support the people who made it all those years ago. I think of it as the "On Any Sunday" of the soaring world. I've lost count of how many times I have watched it.

If anyone knows how the music rights (if that was the problem) got cleared so it could be released on DVD I would love to know the story.
