Oh! If you're wondering what laserdiscs I got Lisa, I got 5 Urusei Yatsura movies (Only You, Remember My Love, Lum The Forever, The Final Chapter, Always My Darling).
This adds to my other two laserdiscs back at home (The Lion King, Urusei Yatsura - Final Chapter; yes, I know I have two copies of the latter - the last one has laser rot), as well as my Toshiba demo LD, so that makes a total of 8 LD's I have. Not bad :)

I had 50 laserdiscs at best back when I was trying to collect them 10 years ago. New movie releases were usually $39.99 so it wasn't quite as tempting to have a big collection.
You kids today with your $15 DVDs have no idea how good you've got it. :-P
With a little patience, I've pretty much acquired everything I had or wanted on laser in DVD format so I'm not missing them as much as I used to.
I had a Pioneer CLD-D501 with side changing but no digital effects so CLV discs weren't much fun.

Do you still have that player, DF?
And actually, the average cost of DVD's in Canada range from $21.99 to $29.99 in Canadian dollars.
On the other hand, single CD's are usually $16.99 or lower in CDN so we probably have it off better than past generations.
And not to mention eBay has helped so many of us find the most expensive things cheap! It's certainly helped me more than once in the past when there have been things I wanted but could not afford at full price.

I sold the player and discs back in 1997/1998 to buy my first computer and get online :) Oh, and to pay off a huge phone sex bill so I could have a phone line turned back on for the computer.
Oh :(
I need a new player bad. My LD player won't flip on CLV discs (but will for CAV discs, which is odd), and it doesn't have any ways of skipping chapters other than fast forwarding or rewinding on the jog wheel :(

The Queen discs I had were: Greatest Flix (U.S. version), We Will Rock You, Live in Rio, Magic Years, Greatest Flix II (Japan), Greatest Karaoke Flix (Japan). I think that's all.
My favourite laser was the Signature Collection "Jaws" set with the movie in CAV, soundtrack, book and a 2 hour documentary that the bastards edited down to 1 hour for the DVD.

That sucks... I see the players real cheap on Ebay, but the shipping charge is always outrageous.
But you also remember that I don't work for McDonald's anymore also, right?
Until I get a job, I can't even afford a fucking DVD from now until then.

Lisa what did you do in the music industry, and are you still in it?
I got out in 1988. I started in warehousing/distribution and then became an A & R rep for Capitol Records for two years, taking stuff to record stores and helping with in-store album signings, doing live radio interview setups, going to endless concerts with talent reps, but really wanted to become a recording engineer and was laughed at for my aspirations. Women were *not* recording engineers, it was a man's world then and probably still is in that field.
Dreams shattered, I said goodbye to the music business and hello to the medical industry. I'm a specialty surgery consultant now.

That's too bad your dreams were shattered.
I wanted to be a female Eddie Kramer!! *sigh*
There are a few women engineers. Susan Rogers who worked with Prince quite a bit but really made a name for herself by adding a looped drumbeat and a few piano notes to 'Body Language' for Hollywood's 1991 'remix'.
And there's that woman Elton John married. She was his engineer for Too Low For Zero.
Shame you didn't make it, but you claim to not even know how to make an MP3 so I'm not surprised.

It was released on Betamax format too.
Yes, I have it on Betamax!!! Never played, because I cant play it!! Had it given to me about 10 years ago!
