Video's, DVD's, CD's

gorgeous is more & more often asked both personally
& by emails, if we sell, or we can recommend any
dance Videos & DVD's - & music CD's...
The most common type of complaint we hear is:
"there's nowhere with a wide selection we can check out"
So now there is a “wide selection” to check out - see below...
The various video's, dvd's & cd's listed here are not
necessarily endorsed by gorgeous, as we
haven't seen or looked at all of them...
However, we'll occasionally include recommendations for
CD's, Video's, DVD's, etc that we've personally seen or
listened to, & can therefor "vouch" for - by stating:
Highly recommended by gorgeous
By the way - if you visit any of the  sites shown below
please let them know that gorgeous sent you...
NOTE:  Different parts of the world use varying video formats
eg: NTSC, Pal or Secam - so it's important to ensure the video's
you're interested in purchasing work OK in YOUR Country...
If you're unsure of the correct format, check out the following links:
Countries using NTSC format
Countries using PAL format
Countries using Secam format
bright green:  NTSC    yellow: PAL or switching to PAL    orange: SECAM    olive: no information

ooooo       ooooo      ooooo       ooooo       ooooo       ooooo       ooooo       ooooo
gorgeous is also frequently asked to distribute various
dance Videos & DVD's - & music CD's...
However, this is an area where we "don't intend to go", as
it's just a little too far away from our 'core business'...
Plus, we're already kept more than busy with our current
& extensive range of gorgeous products...
The gorgeous website is clearly one of the most popular
sites of its kind anywhere in the world...
We receive over 80,000 visitors - & over ½ million page
views every month - we're the "most visited" site in
Australia/New Zealand - & in the top-five worldwide...
So the chances are that a fair proportion of our gorgeous
visitors will also discover your site from this page...
As our regular customers & visitors are well aware, we're
about helping to promote those in the rock 'n' roll,
swing, rockabilly, ceroc, hot rod, etc., scenes...
          (it's our "altruistic" side showing)     :o)
So if you have appropriate products for sale, then email us
the details & we'll look at including them on this page...
There's "no strings attached" - and we're not looking for
"a slice of the action" - anybody wanting your products
 will go straight to your site & deal directly with you...
Although the courtesy of a "reciprocal link"  from your site to
the gorgeous  site would be greatly appreciated...
