Hello!
I've lurked LDDB both the DB and forums for years (literally) and today decided to join up and hopefully gain and share knowledge with like-minded folks who love all things Laserdisc.
My Laserdisc collection is not very large as I have a rule that if something is on DVD, BR, UDH BR or streaming services then I skip the Laserdisc and VHS release(s). I tend to collect mostly rare and obscure titles, especially anything from Japan, which is where the bulk of my collection is from.
I notice as well that I have some Laserdiscs that are not in the LDDB database, so I will be adding those when I get time as well as updating information on Laserdiscs in the LDDB that have very little information and/or cover images. When I get 5 minutes I'll add the rest of my collection to my profile page too!
I'm keen to learn more about very obscure, niche and rare titles. I also have a Yamaha AC-3 demodulator (the gold Mk2 version) so would like to get some AC-3 discs to try out some day.Hopefully there are folks on this forum who can open a few doors for me or point me the right way to the stuff I'm deeply interested in.
I also enjoy preserving VHS tapes and floppy disks as well as investigating Japanese books and magazines (even though I don't speak/read very much Japanese at all!). Additionally I have a website/blog that I run and talk about obscure stuff, including Laserdiscs. I hope you take a moment to have a look through it! You can find me at The Coterie.
See you around!
