"From Funny Girl to Funny Lady" 1975 TV Special
Hello, everyone -
I am trying to track down a copy of Barbra's 1975 TV special "From Funny Girl to Funny Lady."
I've tried Amazon and searching Google, but I can't come up with anything. Does anyone know if this TV special was ever published on VHS or DVD? And, if so, where I might be able to buy a copy?
I've seen several clips on YouTube, so I have to assume it's out there somewhere.
Thank you very much for any help you can provide.

The special was never commercially released on either VHS or DVD.
It'd be nice to see it available!
