Now if I get these for a reasonable price shipped, I'll work on scanning them for all to enjoy. Pioneer 1984 New Disc Flash catalogs from March till June + Pioneer Catalogs from November 1983, May 1984 and July 1986.
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.

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.
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).
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 :-)

( 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?

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 .

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?
