Wheather you have VHS,BETA,etc... what is the earliest recorded tape you have???
The oldest one I have is a 1980 release of SILVER STREAK by Magnetic Video on VHS..... |
Not sure which one i have is the oldest. I'll have to go through them. My oldest Beta is Tron.
|
I have the two-tape Magnetic Video version of The Towering Inferno, from 1977 or 1978, one of the first fifty movies to be released on Beta (or VHS) videotape if I remember right. My oldest home-recorded tapes are from fall 1979. I recorded the original broadcast of "Jaws", when the two blank tapes (for my one-hour-only Beta VCR) cost me a full day's pay. Understanding that cost issue, that movie may be one that I recorded over, later.

Not videotape, but about a year or so ago, I dug out a cassette tape I'd made back in 1971... Didn't even know to run a patch cord from the "Rec Out" jack on my Sony CRF-230 to the "Mic In" jack..It was done w/taping a mic to the speaker panel.. Lots of radio station airchecks, vintage commercials, etc. HORRIBLE sound quality, but it sure did bring back LOTS of memories..

I got a buncha stuff like that too..... Somewhere between 2000 and 2007 I think, WABC am radio
did a anniversary special, and they played a tape backup they found at the transmitter they kept there if the line went dead between the transmitter and studio..... I taped it, and got a few hours of it somewhere.... It was Gan Ingram from the 70's Pretty cool... I bet by now there are copies of it on the internet.... We watched a movie a few months ago that was really old, I forgot what it was, but funny old FBI warning, and some studio run contest to win a vacation trip.... I really wanted to send in an entry form...... Wonder what would have happened.....? How many they still get..... |
M*A*S*H 1977, Magnetic Video, VHS.

one of my oldest tapes would be Williard on vhs and beta...
|
Y'Know, when I'm Dead & Gone, somebody MIGHT find that 1971 tape amongst my belongings, & pop it into a cassette player.. MAYBE I'll "Speak" to them thru the years, & formats... And POSSIBLY, they WON'T Throw Me Away...

MASH 1977 (MVC)
The Sand Pebbles 1977 (MVC) The Boston Strangler 1977 (MVC) The French Connection 1978 (MVC) ....and dozens from 1979-1980 (including Silver Streak). All of them still play fine. |
Yes and I figure with good care they should continue to :)
That MASH one you have is that the FIRST release on VHS?? (I have Silver Streak by them) |

1979 and both it and I look fine!
Recorder Panasonic NV-8400, Camera WV-3300E (Both still in the garage) Recorder weighed over 20 pounds and the camera over 7 - so outings were a manly affair. Wish I was still in that shape! |
MASH, Patton, and the Sound of Music were the first three released in the US, according to other sources.

The back cover of my 1977 copy of M*A*S*H from Magnetic Video lists what I believe to be the first 50 movies released by the company:

Add: just found a picture of a 1980 MVC release that shows added titles: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IZUwIBl5cW...40/Picture.png Now including "Sound of Music" and "Towering Inferno" ("and many more"). jr |
Peter Pan off-air from KYW-TV NBC in March 1989 on VHS. Still looks good and the commercials are great.
