I have a stack of laserdisc catalogs. I'm curious if any later ones were released.
The last copy of the Laser Video Guide I have is Winter 1998. "The Complete Optical Disc Catalog - More than 8700 Laserdiscs & 600 DVD's Listed"
Its interesting the Winter 1996 version listed 9000 titles.

Criterion Collection 1996 Comprehensive Catalog
Lumivision 1995 Spring/Summer Catalog

Image Preview - newest I have is October 1998 - oldest is July/August 1993
Image Updates - did this turn in to Image Preview? August/September 1992

Norwalk Distributors Laserdisc Catalog February 1996 with Waterworld on the cover. It includes the rate sheet for the discount stores got off list price. Atlantic was 35% down to 25% for Full Moon, HBO, Paramount, Pioneer Import.... It also has a chart for who distributed what label. for example Pioneer LDC for Vidmark.

Pioneer Laserdisc Catalog Vol. 10 1989 - Full size 8 1/2 by 11
Pioneer Laserdisc Catalog Winter 1983 - Size that would fit in a business envelope - "Over 300 titles and coming attractions"

Still Looking for the Huge Blockbuster catalogs that used to sit out on a podium for customers to special order from.

Could you scan some of your catalogs? I've been trying to find a copy of the 83 catalog for a few years now. I have a few Criterions from the 90's and an ordering form from Sept 89 that lists all the Criterion/Voyager titles up to that point.

Sure,
How do I post it?
Do I do .jpgs of each page? I'll attach the front and back cover shot of the 1983 catalog.

Oh wow. Ok now that you've teased me, haha. Seriously, I would be eternally grateful if you could email the scans of the 83 catalog.

OK, I'll work on it.
Each page will be half the size of the cover scan since that's the front and back folded open.
Do you want to pm me your email address?

I own some Starship Industries catalogs, plus some issues of Laser Flash, plus a copy (from 1995 I think) of LaserDisc Entertainment's p0rn LaserDisc catalogue.

Plus, I own several issues of Laser Views Magazine.

STAY AWESOME! :)

I have all but 2 or 3 of the Japanese issued "LD Quarterly". I have most of the Sight & Sound (i miss them) monthly catalogs going back to the 80s.

I even have two complete sets of the LaserDisc magazine "Disc Deals".

Disc Deals is near and dear to my heart considering my husband wrote all the DiscoVision reviews (which are widely reprinted on the web without credit) and "The Focus of The Beam" column. We still have his original 35mm slides he shot of the disc covers as well as the galley issues and the complete original subscriber list and list of people who requested a free issue.

Catalogs I have:

Laser Video File Spring/Summer 1994 Vol. 6 No. 1
Laser Video Guide Winter 1997 Vol 1 No. 2 on spine but title page has Vol 2 No.1 over 9000 titles on cover
Laser Video Guide Summer 1997 Vol. 2 #1 on spine
Laser Video Guide Winter 1998 Vol. 2 #2
Laser Video Guide Summer / Fall 1998 Vol. 3 #1 On cover: More than 8300 Laserdiscs & 1500 DVDs listed
Above was last Laser Disc catalogue I ever found, became some DVD title on cover

I assume Laser Video File title being Vol. 6 #1 became Laser Video Guide title as same format etc.
