Type-C was the source format used for Laserdisc glass mastering until the late 1980's, Pioneer marketed some specialty discs under the "Pioneer Artists" label with Windham Hill during the mid-80's that really shows the format capabilities. The one drawback however is they're all film-out to tape as they used a variety of film based cameras on location and the grain sometimes shows.
Short of finding a real "studio" original tape most everything is a generation or two behind regardless of the format. I do have a raw NASA recording of the shuttle explosion taped 1/28/86, its a parent tape I made so I know its real.
