[LEN-E] Olympia... another one!

[Nick Haysom]

What's odd tho' is that it is being sold by Amazon themselves (apparently) - it's not a Marketplace item.  That seems downright peculiar. In fact the copy listed on the Marketplace is confusingly described as "SHRINK WRAPPED NEW! Amazon Return Policy Applies. READ PRODUCT DESCRIPTION." and is only $15 so presumably not the same release?!

Talk about curiouser and curiouser:

"Olympia by Leni Riefenstahl (2 Disc Special Edition) Remastered 1938" 

Wow, Leni was ahead of her time!

Anyway, don't think I'll be ordering it all the same...

  Oh, I meant to mention that, actually. I could be wrong, but as far 
  as I know, "manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media" 
  means that it's not a *pressed* disc (like DVDs, etc. should be), but 
  rather it's a disc that this seller/manufacturer *burns*, one at a 
  time (as far as demand necessitates), basically the same as one would 
  on a home computer.

  That's my impression, anyway -- so if anyone does decide to buy one 
  of these, don't be surprised if that's what you get: a disc that says 
  "Sony" or "Maxell" (or whatever) on it, not a genuinely pressed disc 
  with nice artwork, etc.

  Like I said before, no doubt this is just another bootleg version, 
  and probably not worth the expense, but in any case I thought I'd 
  mention it's existence, at least, just "for the record".

  Ron ;)
