The Jazz Singer: Any word on a release date or has this been discontinued?

I've read here where the Jazz Singer hasn't been released on DVD yet and I see on other sites that it had been previously released but is not currently available.

What's the deal?

Peace...

If you're talking about the Al Jolson classic, here's the word, according to from Warner Bros.


"JAZZ SINGER is in restoration but no release date is in sight. No plans for any other early Vitaphone material at the moment "


This is a quote from an online chat with Mike Radiloff, V.P. of DVD Marketing, George Feltenstein, Sr. Vp Classic Catalog, Mike Finnegan, V.P. of Editorial and Programming Services, Scott Heffron, director of Marketing, Paul hemstreet V.P. DVD Special features.

Thanks... I was talking about the one from 1980 starring Neil Diamond.

The Neil Diamond version was released in 1999, I got it for $10 at Media Play way back when. It is now OOP. A local used video store had a copy for $75...
It has a nifty feature called "jump to a song" where you can choose a classic Neil Diamond song and it will take you to that point in the movie.
