The three German ones are all OOP, except for a softcore version of Nackt und kess am Koenigssee.

"Zo ya ton Erota" by Omiros Efstratiadis (1976 ; the original softcore version) was recently officially released.

Thanks for the info, especially on softcore versions that are available. I'm still interested in details on the hardcore versions, too.

So the remaining ones for which I'm still seeking info are:

Bordello
A Change of Partners
The Other Woman
Shocking

Anybody know whether these four are OOP/rare?

Bordello is available on VHS in Denmark. Which. I guess, makes it semi-rare. Ole Ege, the director, is nowadays in charge of Museum Erotica in Copenhagen, where a DVD collection of some of early his loops is for sale (including, weirdly, some Bodil J?nsson stuff). The rights to Bordello is probably owned by someone else, however.

On the subject of rare Danish films, The Sinful Dwarf is due for release both in Denmark and Sweden. It will be the uncut and X-rated version, as probably only shown in Denmark at the time. Prepare. And beware.

Here's a link to the Bordello VHS.

Extremely useful information. Many thanks to Mulholand.

Just wanted to add that I strongly believe that most collectors do possess all the titles mentioned by Denaniel, despite their rarity, in soft and /or hard versions. This is the case, for instance, with both versions of "Shocking!". The Italian (hardcore)version of Molitor's "Supergirls" most certainly exists.

Re the hardcore version of "Zo ya ton Erota", i.e. the one released in USA by CalVista under the title "The Joy of fooling around", this remains until now a big mystery and a title that is very much sought after....

SHOCKING ! and ECHANGES DE PARTENAIRES are not so common by now, and must be screened in hardcore full version, that is found in the Alpha France VHS, and preferably in in respected widesecreen aspect ratio since they were not shot in a standard academic ratio.

To be noted that LA GRANDE BAISE includes stock-shots from SHOCKING, and that the "classic" moto sequence underground orgy of ECHANGES DE PARTENAIRES has been included as stock-shot also in some other movies produced or distributed byt Alpha France.

To be also noted that the beginning of ECHANGES DE PARTENAIRES is supposed to happen in the elevator of the Mairie of the XVII th Arrondissement of Paris. Outside takes of the walls are explicit about that...
