Can you identify the mint marks for this nice oddity of a disc?? http://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/38025/--- ... Beta-Hi-Fi

The disc promotes releases on Betamax for the Japanese market. I reckon the disc is from 1985 -86 judging by the content it promotes, but the mint marks are strange and i have nothing else like them.

Does anyone have any ideas for these marks? SIde 1: a178745005222a Side 2: a179745305222a

Have a few more like this:

New Dimension in Microcomputers, A: The Sony SMC-70 (1982) [---]
Ford Video Communications Network: 1982 Mustang Product Features (1982) [2VC009]
Ford Video Communications Network: 1982 Thunderbird Product Features (1982) [2VC012]

Not Pioneer.... early SONY mint markings?

Thanks Julien. I looked at other DADC Japan pressings and it figures the disc is from there, being a Sony disc and all! It confirms the date too as the last of these odd mint marks are from 1985.

I sent a cover for this title about a year ago, along with the others in my collection with no covers, plus some dawn of the dead covers and a few others. I guess you are still way behind with updating them.

Thanks for the info on this disc though. Ill submit an update.
