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.
