I'm not new to the Laserdisc scene. Most of the 90's I dreamed of them so while parents went for the videotapes I was dreaming of these large covers. I am new to this early era of Disco Vision. 1. any site I can go to to explain why it's a different video format than NTSC and PAL?
2. Specifically the year for High Plains Drifter. Says 1973 for the movie and 1978 for that release. But the page says 1979. Which one is correct?
High Plains Drifter (1973) [14-002] One I got is in very bad shape. One I'd found said in good condition except most of side one froze. Until I hit a quick FF off my LD-V2200 Pioneer Industrial player. Doubt my brothers full digital one would work. (consumer grade) Mine tends to play warped LD. Only got a couple of those. Side 2 less freezing.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/194900841462 Went for another . Cause if I was going for Pale Rider I'd go for HPD first.. "Lets paint the town red" And I like this site cause I collect nowadays p/s cause not all were actually p/s but rather scanned from the top of the negative to the bottom. Case in Point is 1997's The Postman. In VHS p/s more is shown in the love scene in p/s than in widescreen that chopped off the top and bottom. making the essential corners missing. Yeah I'll probably get The Postman. But I'd love to find a p/s of it. Still have 2-3 videotape players left except one is auto track throughout the tape.. That one works the best (JVC I think) Got several tapes I thought would never go to dvd to work. So I've been collecting p/s both for that reason and because they are usually the original releases.. Otherwise my profile was deactivated at some point so only admin might know when I joined. Been collecting between 2005 and 2008. This site I had when I got them but they were erased when I found it again. I'd run out of room and bout to do so again. Love movies and books... Got two many of both.
and near 110 LD's. 4 CED's no needle for my player if it bothered to work.
