[VVVACCPLPNLY]

I like this! A lot! I love reading, and an Alizée book would be an excellent addition. Once I get a bit of extra money, I will definitely be ordering it!:) Thanks, zefox!

[User22]

Wait so does the book show the worth or rareness of each disc or poster?

[Junkmale]

Looks fantastic.
Any chance of an English language version????

[FanDeAliFee]

Without regard to any particular product, I would always be extremely cautious how I BOUGHT anything supposedly authorized by Alizée or another artist I wanted to support.

Not only is it too easy to illicitly copy proprietary art to avoid paying for it, it is also all too easy to aggregate it for free, add genuine editorial value, and then sell the result without compensating the owners of the source material in any way.

If someone wants to sell me something in which Alizée and her collaborators have proprietary rights, they have to sell it through a retailer I trust to respect those rights.

This includes big stores like Virgin and Amazon and a small store like http://institubes.myshopify.com/ the retailing arm of Institubes, Alizée's current musical home. But I would NOT trust another source lacking both an intimate relationship with Alizée and a multimillion-dollar weekly business reputation to preserve.

So if someone wants to sell me something like <i>ALIZEE L'UNIQUE REFERENTIEL</i>, they should get the Institubes store to carry inventory.

I think the same too. I would buy something like this if it is from an official store, something that helps Alizee.

[wasabi622]

*sigh*

If only this flurry in new Alizée products came about last year when I was working 2 jobs.. I could actually afford them all! But not anymore... :(

[Vista]

If this is a "... book, Alizée has approved and validated for a sale.", is there an official Alizée link stating her approval?

I noticed that on the book's Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=328442076952&ref=ts , I don't recognize any of Alizée's known officiel or private identities listed as a 'follower' (or friend').

[Ben]

I can't comment on Alizée's personal approval of this book or not, but can vouch for it being legitimate and not a "bootleg" or anything like that. There's talk of the Referentiel appearing in regular bookstores or sites like Amazon in the future. Renaud has gotten the rights for everything used, which is why it's all merchandise scans and not other photos (those would be too expensive). True, Alizée probably sees little to no direct profit from this, but it's meant to be a guide for collectors, which I think can only be a good thing for her. Much like how this site helps Alizée without actually being official too.

Plus, the author's involved French fans (http://psychalizee.forum-actif.net/mademoiselle-alizee-f3/le-referentiel-en-librairie-t1427.htm) in the creation since the beginning, with it actually starting out as a fan-site (http://referencielalizee.kazeo.com/). There's been some comparison to the Wikipedia book (http://www.amazon.com/Aliz%C3%A9e-Gourmandises-%C3%89lectriques-Psych%C3%A9d%C3%A9lices-discography/dp/6130602456/) on amazon which is also technically "authorized" since it uses free content, but I think the difference is that's a cheap cash-in while this is something made with care and attention by fans, for fans. Not to sound like I'm plugging it too much or encouraging anyone uncomfortable to buy it (that's totally understandable!), but I actually think it's pretty cool! :)

[Vista]

@Ben
Thanks for the clarification Ben, it helps me (and others) make a better, informed decision on whether or not to buy.

[Edcognito]

I would like to know if anyone has this book? Can they comment on its quality?

:eek: *drools*
I've been wanting to buy this (the ÀCC single) for a really long time, I could use some help in trying to figure out if there are different types of the single that they sell, so that I know which to buy. Or maybe they are all the same, I'm not sure, I've never bought a "single" before. This is really cool, thanks for posting this :)

Okay, so just a small silly question I have. What exactly you get when you purchase a single? Is it the CD with only this one song or the music video of the song?

[Merci Alizée]

Okay, so just a small silly question I have. What exactly you get when you purchase a single? Is it the CD with only this one song or the music video of the song?

Yes that's what you get in a single.

[sumi1]

What--the audio song or Music Video?

[VVVACCPLPNLY]

Singles usually include just the audio song. Sometimes they also include instumental versions with no vocals, and also they sometimes include remixes. They never have the music video. Then it would be a vcd. I think they also include samples of other songs from the same album, as previews; singles cd's are usually released before the album, and these samples increase hype for the actual album.

[MYGOGT]

Okay, so just a small silly question I have. What exactly you get when you purchase a single? Is it the CD with only this one song or the music video of the song?
I have acquired 5 different singles and each of them has 4 to 6 tracks. Some are instrumental, most are club remixes.

[VVVACCPLPNLY]

Thank you for the (solid) answer, MYGOGT. Glad I wasn't wrong, I probably would've looked quite stupid, as I have never actuall BOUGHT a single from any artist. J'aime etre correctement !

I have been looking for this single also, and I have found it at amazon.fr for 33 euros for New and 11 euros for Used. It says that the cd has remixes on it also.
I noticed they have vinyls for sale for UEDS, as well as other titles.
Still deciding on this book.............

Yeah I think I would have to look for it on the French Amazon, when you look it up on the US one all you get is this:
http://www.amazon.com/Contre-Courant-Alizee/dp/B0000DA8VJ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1271542440&sr=1-1
:(

[VVVACCPLPNLY]

Has it occurred to anybody to try maybe Amazon Mexico or maybe some other European Amazon sites?

[MYGOGT]

:(
This is different than the remix one I found earlier. This is the original and they have 1 new and 3 used of which only 2 are good condition. If you want to go in on them I will get them and save some on shipping I think.

[User22]

Man this book looks thick, they must have everything ever created with the name Alizée on it...I want to see what interesting things it has in it....

[MYGOGT]

OK, I will be the guinea pig here and get this book. When it arrives I'll make it known and then people can post up what they might want to see and I will do my best to scan the page in for them. I gotta warn you, though, that this computer is a dinosaur(kind like me).

[User22]

Yay MYgoshTV! Yah but you will just end up scanning all the pages to put on here:D

[MYGOGT]

So be it. It could be painfully slow for me.

[User22]

You know you want to share it with the LillyWorld:D You def should though....thankyou:D And I hope it comes soon:D Congrats:D

[VVVACCPLPNLY]

That's an awful nice gesture. Don't kill yourself, MYGOGT. If the date of this thread s the release of the book, it is just two weeks before my birthday; I'll get someone to get it for me, most likely.

you and me both! :D

[MYGOGT]

I just ordered the deluxe limited edition. It says they will print only 50 copies per country of it. I will definitely share with all of you. It will ship in 3-5 business days is what it said at checkout. So I should have it soon, I hope. You know what this means don't you? It means my collection is gonna grow and I can see trips to find stuff. Oh, I finally have something to search out and seize. Thanks all, I think I'm going over the edge.......

[User22]

Congrats VVV and Beaner on being able to get a book with every Alizée item known to man:D:D:D

[VVVACCPLPNLY]

Wait, I misread the date; it's four days after my birthday, not two weeks before. Also, if you can order it now, why does the date say October 29?

[paintballpdh19]

so each of these 3 books are different, being that each one is from a different era in Alizee's career.... and it's like all the merchandise from that era?

[MYGOGT]

Wait, I misread the date; it's four days after my birthday, not two weeks before. Also, if you can order it now, why does the date say October 29?

I don't know.. the website says 3-5 days to ship, so we weill see

Edit:

I am hoping the newest book captures all eras.

I seriously hate being a student when something like this happens.:p I will wait for you to post some images of the book.

[MYGOGT]

Congrats MYGOGT. It is going to be a great addition to your collection. :)
.
Thanks Sumi1. I just received ueds box #0896. The bad thing is my turntable didn't survive my last move. I just have to hear those vinyls. It will have to wait.

[VVVACCPLPNLY]

My dad has a large collection of vinyls, but I have never heard a vinyl play. Though, I hear it is an incomparable experience. A more uhh, natural sound. Her voice would be greatly appropriate as the first I hear. I too plan on getting one of these after-the-fact UEDS boxes. Just gotta find a player!:D

[User22]

Wait so does the new book cover all eras MYGOGT or did you just order the Gourmandises,MCE,or Psych era one?

[Chuck]

Wait a minute, VVV. Your dad has a large collection of vinyl, but you've never been subjected to it?

And this would be the same dad that doesn't approve of mustangs?

I'm sorry, but somebody has to slip that guy some Ex-lax.

I mean, I've got about a thousand LP's, and I force my kids to listen to some of them at least a couple times a week! Stones, Zep, Who, Beatles, Clash, Doors... These kids gotta get educated! S"important!


So, VVV, either your dad starts playing you some records, or he must forfeit them all to me. Unless they're sucky.

[MYGOGT]

I agree, put those mp3's away and break out the vinyl. Hiss and pop baby. And those aren't forms of music!
Oh yeah, I have two mustangs in the garage, a car and a plane(RC).

[VVVACCPLPNLY]

Well like I said, we have no working player. And most of it is old 70's country stuff. And yes, I know what you mean by hisses and pops. I would really like Alizée to be my first vnyl eperience.

[User22]

Man I wish I could have got that box...I have never heard this so called "AMAZING SOUND QUALITY!!!" that comes from vinyls...is it really that good?

[FanDeAliFee]

I can't comment on Alizée's personal approval of this book or not, but can vouch for it being legitimate and not a "bootleg" or anything like that...

Let me raise a related issue, without meaning to offend any person of good will. If you use online "price engines" to compare online retail offers of the IDENTICAL (same UPC) physical product by various firms, you will observe they do not always charge the same price.

Someone will always ask, how can this be? Is it simply because people are ignorant of all the alternatives, including the low-price champion? Doesn't it always make sense to award the sale to the lowest bidder?

No, it does not! What about shipping and handling? Is this a sales contract or a delivery contract, i.e. who bears the risk and delay of mishap? What are the charges for delivery? What is the return policy and tenure? Is there a re-stocking fee? Can you bundle the purchase of the item in question with other things you want or need now, and maybe save on billing and shipping costs? Will the item need upkeep like replacement parts, or even repairs, and what sort of help might a retailer or maker warranty provide? And yes, also, what is the chance that the item is a forgery, perhaps with security (e.g. malware), safety or medical fallout for the end-user which the genuine item does not present?

One could also raise my original posting question about whether fraud or theft was involved in creating the physical item one receives. Not only can one copy and reproduce digital files illicitly, one can also record them on media held in a forged proprietary container which supposedly authenticates the legitimacy of the contents. Which retailer does a more scrupulous job of acquiring inventory? (Yes, I know, obviously some consumers simply do not care.)

Alizée is taking part in the sale of <i>UEdS</i> stuff through multiple channels. The deluxe package was handled by Opendisc®. Institubes is selling a limited-edition picture vinyl disk. Giant retailers like Virgin and Amazon sell pedestrian disks and file downloads.

An interesting <i>Gedanken</i> experiment is this: What if one or more of these well-known purveyors ALSO agreed to sell the Fan-Made Alizée Reference Book at issue? How much more (if anything) could they charge for this item? Would some charge less because their order fulfillment process is so much more professional and efficient than the manufacturer's retailing arm? Indeed, a manufacturer often does better by outsourcing at least some part of the selling-chain process, because it lets him concentrates on his "core competency."

I suppose this is all just hypothetical, because the sales volume likely at issue falls far short of what it takes to justify creation of a new SKU.

All I know is that I can swear by STASS (Scruffy's Trans-Atlantic Signature Service.) ;)

[Fall]

Man I wish I could have got that box...I have never heard this so called "AMAZING SOUND QUALITY!!!" that comes from vinyls...is it really that good?
My parents had a collection of sorts of classic latin music on vinyl, I remember listening to them when I was a kid because they would play them. I still remember liking the sound of them, and it was fun to move the needle to another place in the record and see if they noticed that the song changed :D

[User22]

Man, not even my grandparents had a Vinyl Player:( I need to buy one!

[rcs]

It's especially nice if you have a good pair of speakers.

[Merci Alizée]

Man, not even my grandparents had a Vinyl Player:( I need to buy one!

Lol, I never saw a Viny Player in my life. May be someday when I have her albums in Vinyls then I'll get one player too.

Because right now they, like me, don't have jobs and depend on parents for money, and these parents are reluctant to financially support them for that :(

Yah....but when you think about it:

1)You have the poster for life
2)They are made of high quality poster material
3)They have amazing resolution so it is a clear image
4)And it's not like someone is thinking of covering their walls with them like that girl in Stars A Domicile did....although that would be an amazing room:D

[MYGOGT]

The book has shipped and should be here on Thursday. My other stuff is stuck in Europe til they get that volcano under control.

[VVVACCPLPNLY]

Stupid siesmic upset... Whatever happened to 'pas de secouse seismique'? (i know I spelled that wrong!)

[User22]

Ok don't laugh at me if that was an expression, but was there a volcanic eruption over there that went right over my head?

[VVVACCPLPNLY]

Yeah, flights out of and into most parts of Europe have been disrupted for a few days, do to a volcanic eruption in Iceland. They have lost billions of dollars. It's on the news all the time. 95000 flights total have been canceled, according to the today show.

[User22]

Need to go look it up now! Thanks!!!

[MYGOGT]

Need to go look it up now! Thanks!!!

Yes, even I have to come down from cloud nine and take a look at the news now and again. Not that there is too much good news outside of Lillytown.

[User22]

Looked like a boring volcano:(

Hopefully it erupts fully:D not really though:(

[VVVACCPLPNLY]

Well, it wasn't a big lava explosive Pompei eruption, more of a slow venting of hot gas and ash.

[MYGOGT]

Looked like a boring volcano:(

You just got JEAM'd!!!
Thanks, that just made my day!

[VVVACCPLPNLY]

Lol, aaronius, I can't get 'JEAM'd' as you say. Pictures don't show up, they just appear as a plain text link that I can click to dl the picture to my phone, it is then shown on the screen. So where other people may be JEAM'd, I see the link, and your 'You got JEAM'd' right underneath.

sorry for the Non-Image Shack picture:o

Will do better next time:D

[VVVACCPLPNLY]

No, what you did is fine. I just have images turned off in options, so it doesn't even try to load pics. I did it on purpose. So I can click the links instead and immediately dl the pics, so you guys don't have to post the links manually. So yeah, I can't get JEAM'd! Lol haha! Try it, go to cp, click options, turn images off. That is how the site appears for me.

[User22]

Must be weird looking when you can't see anything but text, oh how I would hate that:(

[MYGOGT]

It's here! I just received the fan book. I am opening it up right now. It looks very good. There is a wealth of information as far as the different albums, singles, merchandise, and tickets. It looks to be a book that a collector would use to find out what was produced when and by whom. Very good color pictures. I promise to scan and post some soon. But I have to get ready for guests for the weekend birthday party. 50-60 weekend for me.

[VVVACCPLPNLY]

Happy 50 60, you lucky freaker!. Wish my b-day was special like that. Well, there was a concert in Nyce in '03. And she did ML in 2001. And ÀCC live Dans La Lumière (favorite live performance!) was broadcast in '03. Not sure of the recording date.

[sumi1]

Happy Birthday MYGOGT :)

You already got yourself a great b'day gift :)

[Roman]

I guess no one here has seen it, except I know Ben has. That is, there was a Mylène Farmer book being sold in France (the Virgin Megastore for example) a couple years back, which had everything Alizée through 2004 or something like that. It was very similar to this book I suppose. I can only guess (and hope) that this has all of that plus the Psychédélices era. Well, I have just about everything from the Psych era, but it would be cool to be able to look stuff up like that (to be sure).

[MYGOGT]

This book appears to have everything from the first album release, 2000 to just before the release of UEDS (of which it displays the cd cover).

Edit:

$68.49 for this edition which they say is limited to 50 per country. Not cheap by any means but a good reference, especially for a new fan such as myself.

Wait, what do you mean it's limited to 50 per country? Surely you don't mean that only 50 people in a country can get one of those?

[MYGOGT]

Here's the link to the order page. It reads 50/country for the deluxe limited edition and 200/country for the limited edition.

MYGOGT just saw your pics and man that looks like an amazing book!!! It probably has Alizée gold in there!!! It def has to have things that most have never heard of or even thought could exist!!! That book is magical:D Congrats on getting it:D

[paintballpdh19]

[MYGOGT]

Actually, I ordered the Deluxe limited edition, not the standard edition.

yes, but i was just looking at that site and wanted to see how to get the standard and it said i couldn't get it :(

WOH....you must be enjoyin that thing like crazy...there has to be all sorts of goodies in there:D I might get one when I get a job and a Debt...but that means I would have to start my ALizee collection. All I have is everything digital and a signed copy of UEDS:D And that's all I need right now...but i wish to have rare stuff when I can afford it

[Roman]

Here are some images of this book I received.
...So, it looks like in the top row are compilations of all three volumes for the first three albums and then below one can get each volume individually. Is that right? And for some reason the compilations come in three "qualities"?

[User22]

Woh so MYGOGT I looked at the order site and saw how many pages each volume had...1=55pgs, 2=80pgs, 3=55pgs. And you got the new Deluxe one which had 180pgs...so did yours have all 3 volumes???

[MYGOGT]

That is what I was thinking when I ordered so I thought I may as well just get the one book. And I really chose the spiral bound because the pages open easier without breaking the binding.

It has "chapters" for all three previous albums and also for singles and remixes. It shows Promo CD's and that some had only 5 copies made, and other Promos had 25. It has a whole En Concert section also, and also for the various foreign country discs made.

[User22]

My goodness MYGOGT....like I said...you have a gold mine in your hands:D

[Marquis<3Alizée]

*sigh* I really wish I had a job now and when I dicscoverd Alizée I can't afford any of this cool Alizée stuff :(

[User22]

Does anyone have the pictures of the book that were originally on the site for this(http://alizeereferentiel.wifeo.com/)? Because I am searching online where to buy the En Concert DVD Box Set. When the pictures were on the L'unique Referenciel site of some of the pages inside the book, I saw a box set for En Concert and fell in love with he thought of finding and buying it. So if anyone with the book or the pictures that were originally on the site posted above of it, then I would love if you could help me in my quest :)

[MYGOGT]

I am looking in the book and see 9 versions of it but not a boxed set. Some versions have the bonus material on a separate disc while some contain it all in one.

Karin thankyou so much! Where did you find this if it's not on the site anymore?! And yes that is the box set I was talking about!

And thankyou so much Karin!!!:D

[MYGOGT]

I don't read french but I do believe this to be a box they set up on display in which it had inside the dvd's for sale.

[User22]

You know what, that would actually make sense. Because the box does look pretty plain. So is it sort of like the display boxes they have in front of windows at Gamestop and display boxes throughout the store like this saying they have it for sale?:

You are right on this, these are point of sale displays.

yeap.... its very good, however some people tell that there are some mistakes... but you cas see every CD, LP and another promotion things... en concert 2004 and psyche tour things... how many were sold or digi downloaded (example: MJ - 2 020 000 dig. down.) and on the last pages gold and platin discs which Alizée received

Ooooh. That sounds like it is Very Good. I will definitely get this as soon as possible. Thanks for the recommendation!

[Chuck]

Has anyone else here seen this? (So often, I'm the last one to know these things. If this is old news, then Merci Moderator, please delete this thread, or move the posting)... Anyway...

What was I going to say? Oh yeah:

They're releasing an official Alzée reference book! (click here to order) (http://www.lulu.com/product/12205286)

And it looks like this:
http://i31.servimg.com/u/f31/14/21/49/37/aliboo10.png

Basically, the description says:

10 years after the debut of her first hit ‘ Moi... Lolita ’, comes a definitive visual and discographic retrospective of the career of Alizée. Her support grows in many countries, through restricted collectors editions in gold discs, promotional objects and international pressings. This luxurious reference takes stock of nearly the entirety of Alizée's work. Furthermore, each release will include a short presentation, discography supplements, promotion, marketing, merchandising and summary of her works and promotions. Launched by the most inevitable (/omnipresent?) French duo in the history of French-speaking pop, Mylène Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat, Alizée is the most collected French artist of her generation in France. Her fans are consequently counted by the thousands worldwide, in Europe, Mexico, Canada, Japan, Russia and many more.


...Only problem is - $60?????? For a paperback? And with wild rumors running around that she's planning a new album already, the exhaustive info in this thing may very well be outdated before we've managed to spill our vin rouge all over it.

But it seems that it's definitely aimed at people like us here - the devout, the diehards, the über-fans who want to collect everything. Oh, maybe some libraries (in France) will buy it too. (Yikes! I just realized! The whole darn thing is probably in that French they use there!) (Okay be forewarned.)

Will/would I buy it? Ahh, probably not. But some of you will, and I still respect that. Me, I bought 2 copies of UEDS, and 2 of the En Concert CD/DVD, so I think I'd rather spend the money on 2 or 3 copies of the next release. But hey, this is something! When it becomes available, it better have glossy (and previously unseen) color photos on every page, zall I'm saying. And I hope it makes her boocoo bucks.

[DrSmith]

This is the first I've heard about it.

There's also une Édition Limitée. Same price.

http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/alizée-lunique-référentiel---edition-limitée/10281349?productTrackingContext=product_view/more_by_author/right/1


On further investigation (clicking the author's name) (link (http://bit.ly/igeVr9)) there's actually quite a few books. Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3, Edition Promotionnelle… Wha's all dat then? :confused:

[Chuck]

Wow. - same book with a different "limited edition" cover. Maybe I should just buy both! Then again, perhaps not. :p

EDIt:

Wow, You're right again, Dr. Smith! There ARE three separate volumes! That all add up to seem to equal this one bigger (178 page) book #1 (about the Gourmandises era) is 58 pages, #2 (about MCE) is 76 pgs, and #3 (Psychédélices) is 46 pgs. #1 and #3 are $23 each, #2 is $26. And NONE OF THEM have been rated or reviewed yet. Verrrrry suspicious. Presumably, the big, "complete" edition will also have a few pages' coverage on UEDS, or maybe it just has UEDS on its cover. (Except for the "Limited Edition" deluxe version, which just has her blurry silhouette against a blurry sky on the cover).

_______________________

SHIIITE! The moderators just did something!!!!!

But it appears that this book was on this forum before, back in October. I should've known.

[DrSmith]

Well, Sir Charles, it looks like everyone knew except us.

[Merci Alizée]

@ Chuck : when you are not sure whether a thread exists or not, you can either do forum search or google search with keywords. For ex - google the words l'unique referential alizeeamerica or l'unique referential site:alizeeamerica.com and see the magic. ;)
@ drsmith : you can use url shortener for long urls. bit.ly is one such site

[Chuck]

Hey, M. A.! Uh, thanks!

But I DID do a site search first here, for just the word "referentiel", and it turned up nothing! What's up with that???

Like I said, I'm always the last one to know... :(

:confused: when I searched for the same word using forum search, I got some threads and this one was one the top. Honestly, I use google search more often than forum search because I don't want to leave the current page and I get more results(of other sites) with google.

Happens to me constantly.

[MYGOGT]

I have this 178 page book. It was printed right at about the time UEDS was released, so there is only one page pertaining to it and only the picture of the cd cover. The book is a good reference for collecting, but they used too much black ink on each chapter separation. Good color in much of it though.

[Chuck]

Dang, Mygogt! You lucky dude! I don't think I'll be buying it, but I've chatted with the author on line a bit - he says everything in the book is his own! Now that 's quite a collection! :eek:

[User22]

I bet the guy was in contact with Mylene and Alizee when making it. Cause most of the stuff in there most people could not find themselves...

[Karin]

I bet the guy was in contact with Mylene and Alizee when making it. Cause most of the stuff in there most people could not find themselves...

do you think that Alizée know/knew how many things (according to book) were released? I think no... and if, 100% not all things :) I was suprised too when I saw so many things in book :D

[User22]

Yeah I guess she didn't know Karin. Especially since in Jessica's room she was even surprised at all the stuff she had that she didn't know about :)

[severianb]

Yeah I guess she didn't know Karin. Especially since in Jessica's room she was even surprised at all the stuff she had that she didn't know about :)

Yeah, she definitely had no idea a lot of that stuff existed. There is one interview where an Alizee collector shows off his collection. When he shows the gold disks and reveals they cost him thousands of dollars, the look on Lilly's face is priceless. Her eyes get wide, and I she seems to be saying something like "Holy crap!"

I laughed.

And yah MerciAlizee I am surpised that my parents didn't even get mad when I got the CD, they were very surprised and happy but think I'm obsessed like all other people. So they will not fund for it. But I did just get my license like 4 days ago so I can prob get a job and everything to pay for it....

Have you purchased any posters yet ?
I wonder of the legitimacy ? Seems anyone can submit a picture and claim to own the rights to it ? I've always wanted some nice posters of Al but wish she would have an official sales site . I may purchase one or two after reading more .

So i've just stumbled across another book i do not see mentioned above -
http://www.priceminister.com/offer/buy/65908848/Alizee-Livre.html
I'd love to purchase it but priceminister only seems to not ship to my country EVER , ololo !

Now Karen and Aaron above mentioned Alizee not knowing all this stuff , obvious .
Someone in the start of this mentioned the book formed on a website but i don't think mentioned which website or gave a link . Be interesting to see this information compiled .

I've mentioned before in another topic having a complete list , amazing to me no one here has taken on the ultimate collection topic listing A - Z Alizee items . See the problem with hard copy book is it is outdated . . Also i would doubt it has every magazine she has been in but i was wrong once before so it can happen again .

I know a good friend owns a printing company . No idea the costs of such but it sure would be nice to perhaps once after some years of picture and information collecting we could have an Alizee America limited edition book printed . With permissions of course . .

Still searching but again surprised there is no superfan collecter here with one of almost everything . . or if not collected pictures of such and shared this list .

Last to mention here is the gold albums , i guess it is not too hard to gold leaf an album yourself . There is even a few sites with instructions .
