Hi Guys, purely for fun here's a little quiz concerning our favourite format. The image below shows the facade of a secondary education academy building the location of which Iam not disclosing; so you may well ask what on earth could this possibly have to do with Laserdisc, well the answer to that is that is there was a definite connection here to the format. I'm not going to offer any clues just yet as I realise only too well that there are plenty of smart people on here, but should an answer not be forthcoming after a considerable period I shall chuck in a few hints if necessary, sorry no prizes here but see how you go!

Well done to edwin240170 Yes the former home of Pioneer Laserdisc Corporation Europe (LDCE) I think Pioneer closed this site sometime during the early 2000s and concentrated all their European operations at their other site in Belgium? For your efforts a fully rotted copy of a PDO pressed Dire Straits "Live on the Night" will shortly be dispatched to you Edwin!

(the 200 on the sign was a huge help) According to the screenshot I included of an ad in the March of 83 edition of High Fidelity, this is the US location of Pioneer Video, Inc. and Pioneer Artists.
