Soultrain

[snowblown_rooftops]

Just joined, stumbled across this site on my quest for Soultrain.

I can't seem to find a complete set anywhere, I read somewhere it mostly had to do with music licensing contracts running out, and the rights being waaay to expensive. Is this true?

Was a complete set ever distributed? Or at least the first ten years?

I think a Japanese company used to have quite some shows for sale on either VHS-tapes or DVD's , although i'm not shure if it were complete & full episodes. I remember seeing a website of that company and auctions on eBay around 2004.
This is what i bumped into so far :
