Does anyone have current contact information for Tips' USA division, Tips Export Inc? I recently bought their DVD of the uber rare
Krishna Krishna which had a surprisingly decent image rendering, even if the colors were a bit too vivid but the film is from the 80s, so maybe those neon shades are natural. [For screenshots from the XviD I made from the DVD,
click here] My only complaint is that there are no subtitles. I'm always looking for more mythological films on DVD, so I would like to obtain their full catalogue list and see what else they have.
Anyway, the back cover of the DVD says the disc was manufactured, marketed and rights held by Tips Export Inc.
37-B Meridian Road
Edison, NJ 08820
Tel: (732) 744-0345
Fax: (732) 744-0344
I tried those numbers on different occasions and they're both dead.
I am positive this is a division of Tips India (
http://www.tipsmusicfilms.com), but the two are apparently not in very much communication because when I e-mailed the Indian parent company, they claimed they didn't own the rights to Krishna Krishna. Sure enough, my DVD is not for sale in India, so the folks working at Tips India aren't aware of their overseas film rights and products for export only.
There are also two store locations listed, both of whose phone numbers are no longer correct:
Tips Music
808 Newark Ave
Jersey City, NJ 07306
Tel: (201) 659-6659
Tips Music

If anyone had some up to date info, it would be someone at zulm. If so, could you please share?
