I lost an auction for a Black Sabbath LD so I bought this Spice Girls one instead. Almost the same thing right?

Also picked up another oddity from Mandarake along with some other tat.

I think Spice would actually be cooler.
Doubt they will be releasing this on any newer format but the Sabbath will be all over the place by now.

Couldn't agree more. The Never Say Die live video actually does have a DVD release, whereas the Spice Girls one hasn't got one already so I don't see one popping up anytime soon, so at least in that sense it provides more value. Thinking about picking up the Ace of Base LD too I spotted on discogs.

The Black Sabbath one is kind of interesting since the whole thing was shot on tape and in mono, and the DVD is presented in 2.0 and 5.1. No idea if that 2.0 track is mono or stereo, but the 5.1 is definitely an artificial surround mix, and they're both probably in dolby digital while the LD is at least in LPCM...although being a live concert with poor fidelity to begin with I can't imagine that making much of a difference.

Yesterday I got Strange Days in the mail.

Then I took a trip to Half-Price Books for something non-LD-related but ended up grabbing Who Framed Roger Rabbit (CAV edition) and Die Hard 2 while I was there. Also a couple of LaserKaraoke 8-inchers and a big pile of probably-not-very-good discs for $2/ea.

Also, I never realized I needed Spice Girls on Laserdisc but now I do.

I've been on kind of an LD tear lately, with both online purchases (singles and small lots), and local pickups. Highlights include:

Ice Station Zebra
Career Opportunities
December
Mountains of the Moon
Johnny Handsome WS
Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth box set
Wolfen
No Way Out WS
Last Days of Man on Earth

Good luck with that. People want absolutely bonkers amounts of money for that one on ebay for some reason.

Just had the Criterion versions of The Producers and Wages Of Fear turn up. Really looking forward to both as I've not seen them for ages.

Wages of Fear is a great one, but I for some reason prefer Sorcerer I don't think its a great film but it has a different feel, you should check it out
if you haven't seen it before.

When I get fixated on an idea, it's hard for me to let go. Therefore...

Those are two great movies you have there.

The Wages Of Fear is excellent & The Producers is pure class, sure you will enjoy them again.

Yes, had to sell my previous set last year when funds were a bit tight.

Got some juicy discs from right here on LDDB.

First up, can't go wrong with a bit of Gloria Estefan! :thumbup:

Image


Next a slightly battered copy of Fantasia. This is the last known pressing with the full opening commentary. As we all know, Disney loves to mess with their stuff.

Image


A DTS edition of Mortal Kombat Annihilation! Still new and sealed because until I came along nobody was stupid enough to buy it.

Image


The Billingual edition of Cinderella. Another chance to flex my CLD-R7G LG capabilities!

Image


Last but not least, the main event. It's been on my wishlist since the Spring of 1937. Alien. Or, to give it's Friends episode title 'The One With The 70mm Soundtrack'. I've wanted this disc more than that time I needed to pinch a loaf on the train and the only lav was out of order and had no bog roll. Can't wait to see if the 70mm audio hype is worth it!

Ugh, I sold off a lot of Disney stuff on ebay and had that Cinderella in a lot, would have been a small fortune for shipping to you anyway.
Let us know when you do a review of Alien, I've only ever had the first box set, my dad and I went to tower to buy it new :sick:
Damn that was a waste of money if you think about it now.

Anyway never upgraded due to cost as expected but would like to read about it.

Only problem with Fantasia is the box doesn't fit on my shelves! It's the size of a cricket pitch! :crazy:

I did give Alien a very quick spin earlier as I couldn't wait. Just a few minutes of the opening sequence. Of course my set up is very feeble compared to what other folks have, but it does sound absolutely VERITABLE, from the short snippet I heard. Very keen to see it in all it's glory, with each and every pit of analogue data on that disc lovingly massaged by the sultry hands of my R7G! :silent:

I shall of course post some drivel once viewed if folks so wish to have a read. :thumbup:

Yeah, I've thought many times of cutting down that Fantasia box but again it was bought new and I was looking at it last month
and its in almost perfect shape considering I've moved with it at least 5 times and had to do special packing on a worthless box.

You always post the LDs I own and need to watch again, don't know why both you and forper always talk about some great films
that I need to watch again either on LD or DVD that I own.

In the middle of watching Apocalypse now that I picked up on DVD recently, want to watch Fantasia and Alien again.
