  1. This one was on Japanese DVD on King Records label. I sold my original, though I should check and see if I have another (this was back when I worked in an import shop years ago). I do have a backup though... Not as good as hoped, but hey, any Bruno is good Bruno.
    I'll see what other details I can pull for you (I hope I scanned the sleeve!)--and I'll go pull it the disc now.

  2. And here is the OOP listing at CDJapan (I forgot it is called DIRTYDOLL!)...Now I really need to go digging through my crates!

    This is going to drive me nuts because I've got a 10 year old memory of this disc in my head and would love to bust it out again.

  3. Hey David,
    Thanks for the info! Usch, I guess I should've spent a li'l more time searching for a release before I proclaimed it was "unreleased", LOL. But at least it's a RARE release!

    Hmm, on the CDJapan page I notice it says: "Age restriction: Safe for all ages"!!

    So, since you've seen the damn film: WHAT'S IT LIKE??? Is it alright? Judging by the trailer it seems it's a soft porn flick with some added action/violence.

  4. Thanks for getting me this, David!! Btw, I've tried to dig up info on Christine Dowell (Ljuba) but have come up with zilch! Do you know anything about her? Who is she, what's she up to these days? The IMDb only lists "Body and Soul" but obviously they're often wrong. Was she ever in anything else. And yes, she's quite a stunner (or was in 1996 anyway).
