My experience with these is that it may play, maybe even tolerably, until the really terrible bits near the edge. I had a NTSC release of Vestron Video's I Spit On Your Grave made in Germany by Sonnopress. It looked worse, played, but horriably. Thankfully it was released twice more on LaserDisc in the U.S., the only country that got ANY LD release of that movie.

I have all of the Space: 1999 releases released in the U.S. Only vol. 1 has any defect at all. All were made by PDO U.K.

Are any of them playable now? I can't play PAL LaserDiscs sadly, because I have a few. I have alot of PAL Video 2000 tapes that I can't play either.

The format gets very little love eventhough it were the third competitor during the tape format war of the 80s. Video rental stores carried VHS, beta and V2000 in the beginning. By the mid 80s beta and V2000 were almost completely gone. Anyhow... Do even 8" LDs rot? Read somewhere that they really can't because of the way they're made. Crappy pressings with color speckles could exist. Kind of like DiscoVision.

They made approx. 23 whereas there were 721 releases by all manufacturers - mostly NTSC.

happycube wrote: That's an LD single. In Germany Sonopress even made some 12" LD singles. Since they don't have glue, they cannot rot in the usual way - but PDO UK would have pulled it off See, I have been aware of the term "LD single" for many years now but I simply thought it was an 8 inch disc with music contents. Intriguing. Thank you.

So far only vol. 1 and vol. 3 have gone bad, although they were playable the last time that I tried them. It's been some time since I played any of them though. I already flagged them both. Mark
