Its the same with Fawlty towers to a degree. A comedy program I used to sit and watch with my family when I was a kid is suddenly now racist and unacceptable. Well I for one am not subscribing to it.

John Cleese also disagrees.

For the Fish Tank lovers, here comes the 4K BD editions with matching 4K screens inside fake aquarium boxes!

Hi-Vision LD didn't have to fake the aquarium size, the HD screen was already huge :-)

Posted: 24 Jun 2020, 15:48 

so what's the difference with the Daft Punk ones? I mean the none helmet ones.

One is Homework and one is Human After All. Why two albums totally unrelated to each other release a decade apart have covers that look like variants of each other...I can’t say.

One is Homework and the other is Discovery :-)

Yes, by submitting the missing mint marks of course! :-)

I've seen a LOT more updates with mint marks since I pushed this update, it's working I think!

Looks like TransferWise is eventually willing to start a fight with Paypal!

Hello!

I sometimes get this request for a way to see what titles are the more popular/sought after/selling for high prices, so here you go!

https://www.lddb.com/shop/top10.php

Example for June 2020 = https://www.lddb.com/shop/top10.php?month=2020-06

2020-06.jpg

It's dynamic: if a transaction gets cancelled, the title will be removed from the top 10 at a later time.

Teichiku Laser Karaoke: vol.279 [30LV-279]

It's a 18/03/2004 release, 12" with 2 sides and 28 tracks, would be interesting to see which factory still manufactured this late.
Anyone has such discs in their collection or a picture available ?

I had to double check the 8" vs. 12" but 14 songs of 4~5 minutes is really a full 1h CLV side.
First batch would seem to have started in 1982 with Teichiku Laser Karaoke: vol. 1 [30LV-1] .

It might be the longest running LD collection ever!


The next series I added were the 01DK-XXX and these are 8" also from Teichiku.

Most recent known/confirmed is Utaemon: vol.370 [01DK-370] (1999).

If you haven't seen the making of yet, this is one reason the Mandalorian world felt more "real" than CGX.

I don't know what Optimem is but perhaps someone here may be able to help.

3rd and 4th hits on a Google search for "Formatted for Optimem", come on people :-)

( PC Magazine, February 1986 )

Optimem.jpg

( May 1987 edition, starts on page 58, then continues to 101~102 )

This company [Optimem], originally spawned by Xerox Crop., is owned by Cipher Data Systems, and now makes optical disc drives. Larry Fujitani, Optimem's director of marketing, says Optimem -- in concert with 3M Co. -- is developing a "multifunctional" optical disc drive, meaning a drive that can use read-only, write-once, and erasable optical discs.

This is a magneto-optic disc (like a huge MiniDisc I presume or the old ZIP drives?) where the label is too big for a LD and the player wouldn't be able to spin (thickness) or detect the disc (label where the TOC should be).

WTF is he talking about RE: the Library of Congress?

If it's in the Library of Congress, why can't you find it?

No results found for triffids

Unofficial releases can happen, I bought a legit "Kind of Blue" Mono+Stereo release in Chicago few years back and turns out it was a non-official UK release .

My piano jazz teacher has been fighting copyright evasion for years from French and Italian labels repressing vinyls without authorization . At least Bob Sinclar was classy enough to pay royalties on sampling used in Africanism and Africanism II .

FACTORY RECORDS (Wikipedia)

Influential UK label from the 80's till mid-90's with a habit of giving catalog numbers to many, many things!

FACDV 73R New Order: Blue Monday (1988)
78C58-6098 New Order: Pumped Full of Drugs (1985)

Last ones date from 1997(UY)
Captain Harlock is also a great tv series to have on LD

All on LDDb, so you don't have to read the Japanese catalogs (I have most of them too :-))

Captain Harlock: Box vol.1 (1978) [LSTD01296]
Captain Harlock: Box vol.2 [LSTD01313]
Urusei Yatsura: vol.33 [PCLA-00073]
Mirror Man: Box (1971) [COLC-3111~25]

For crazy expensive boxsets, how about the pre-order only of Urusei Yatsura: Complete TV Series [PCLA-00150] early 2000 for US$2,300 or Maison Ikkoku: Complete TV Series [PCLA-00149] (also late 1999 pre-order) for US$1,100?
