Old video about the original Laser disc. It is a store demo video talking about how much better the laser disc is compared to VHS. They even got Ray Charles to talk about it.

Love the band Devo! I remember seeing a laserdisc as a kid and wondering how big the CD player must be to play it on. The laserdisk probably ranks with the 8 track in the entertainment tragedy hall of fame for sure.
ReplyDeleteWow that has to be the most obscure product advertisement I have seen – as far as the US goes anyway haha! It’s funny to see how they are comparing the increase in quality from VHS to laserdisc and comparing that to what we have now. Who knows, maybe what we have now will look like VHS in comparison to what is to come.
