Default Golden Privet

I want a golden privet - not a variegated one. But all the garden centres stock seem to be the variegated form.

Does anyone known where I can get a proper golden privet - Ligustrum ovalifolium Aureum, NOT Ligustrum ovalifolium aureomarginatum?

Thanks - had been through them and they all basically stock "variegata". We cracked today and bought a Ligustrum ovalifolium variegatum "Lemon and Lime" which is the nearest we can get to the real golden form.
