Most record stores now carry, or can order, some of Helmut’s Classics series albums. The Out of Africa and Classic III ("Helmut Lotti: Original Classics") albums have not been released for sale in the United States.  We know that Sam Goody’s, Tower Records, Borders, and Rizzoli have been reported to have in stock  most of the recordings that have been released for U.S. sale.
Latino Classics, Latino Love Songs (CD and Video) and My Tribute to the King are now available at most overseas sites and we have been informed by Mr. Carl Bierling in Holland, Michigan, that they, Pop Classics, and From Russia With Love  are available there for immediate purchase.  To contact Mr. Bierling, email:   holcompdisc@charter.net

Note: Videos purchased overseas (including the U.K.) will probably be in the European (PAL) format and will have to be converted to the North American (NTSC) format before they can be played on most North American VCRs. This can be expensive. There is no conversion problem with CDs or tape cassettes -- they seem to be compatible world wide.

Net Beat in the U.K. is a full featured site and seems to carry most of Helmut's current releases including Vlaamse Hits. They are reported to be very slow and not too responsive to e-mail. As noted above, though, all overseas sites are slow when delivering by ordinary mail.

Amazon Germany: a site for most foreign releases.

Amazon.com  Because of its foreign affiliates, Amazon has a large selection of CDs, DVDs, and videos. They do not carry Helmut's earlier popular releases, but do carry the "Classics" series through Out of Africa.

Tower Records: This chain apparently can obtain imported recordings. Go to the web site and click on "Store Locator" at the bottom of the page in order to find the store nearest to you.

HMV is another full featured site (in Canada) and carries CDs, Music Cassettes, and Videos (NTSC formatted), that have been released for North American sale.

CD Now is a site in the U.S. but carries only a few of the recordings released for sale in the U.S. Delivery is prompt.

Holland Music Company in Michigan carries, or can get, most of Helmut’s recordings – even those not yet released for sale in the U.S. Telephone contact is best for discussing PAL (European format) to NTSC (North American format) conversions for video tapes. (This store has recently moved to new quarters and "officially" has a new name but Carl says they are retaining their old identity for Helmut fans and the phone number has not changed.)
