Talk:Big Bird Presents the Nutcracker

Publication date
Discrepancies again (as has happened before). The original source for the date was Amazon, which claims a Sep. 1991 release date. I received a copy today, sadly sans casette, since unlike the Muppet readalongs, almost all of the actual dialogue is omitted, just pretty pictures and simple sentences, although enough to indicate a few of the dances used; several are renamed, like "Dance of the Cupcakes," so sans tape it may be impossible to tell what they were. Anyway, the date is 1990 on the book, and also what practically every library database has. It's possible that, again, 1990 is just the copyright date and release was delayed, but I'm not sure Amazon's a very convincing countersource in this case, and so far it's the only countersource. So I'm going to change to 1990, but if we find evidence for a 1991 date (copies of Books in Print from the relevant years would in fact be great sources, or else an article or promotional material), we can change it (also, there were two releases of most of these, one through Astor Music Inc., then a re-issue through Golden Books, so the 1991 date may be the Golden Books one). -- Andrew Leal (talk ) 01:30, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
