Remember these? Go back in time ... way way back to the 1990's

They are about the size of a 12" vinyl record but provide video and high quality audio (analog and digital) and were very popular in the entertainment industry, particularly in Asia but also many motion pictures can be found on laser disc's

This laser disc is in the karaoke genre which is very popular in Asian countries as a form of entertainment. This particular laser disc was part of a collection used in The Philippines in the entertainment industry. Filipino's love life, dance and music ... when the opportunity arises to hold a microphone in their hand and let rip their version of a song at a karaoke bar, it's all on for young and old ... fun, socialising and just having a great time ... karaoke does that. I have personally heard the most dreadful renditions of popular songs but hey! who cares, it's all about having a laugh and escaping the hum-drum of everyday life.

Although laser disc's have been superseded by more contemporary technology, this disc represents a "by-gone" era and, amazingly, there are some diehards who still use laser disc's - more power to them! I had a JVC machine a long while back but no longer ... this disc is offered "unplayed" but carefully cleaned and inspected.

Manufactured in USA

12" Laser Disc

Catalogue: ST-003P

Circa 1990's

Cover is in very good condition, clean and without any seam splits, no tears and no personal writing except for two letters (PA) written on the front cover.

New inner plastic liner sleeve for the disc - this important, these laser disc's could be thought of as a giant CD or DVD and that reflective layer needs to be looked after.

Media is in good (minus) condition, so what does "minus" mean? (I hear you asking)

The disc has been visually inspected under bright sunlight (the best to view these) and I can see some very light scratches from handling but nothing serious at all. HOWEVER, something dramatic has obviously happened in the past and there is EDGE damage in one small spot. This damage does not appear to extend into the "optical information" area so it should not affect the playability of this disc. See the last two photographs for a closeup of this damage.

Unfortunately I am presently unable to "test play" the laser disc as my player has no since gone to a new home - offered untested but I have no doubt it will perform as it should.

This Laserdisc is supplied in the original heavy clear plastic sleeve with the "double tucks" - nice and safe!

I have also been made aware of the "rot" issue which is sometimes encountered with these discs. I have carefully examined the disc on both sides and cannot see the tell-tale "pin prick" holes so I believe all is well, I have also been made aware of the "rot" issue which is sometimes encountered with these discs. I have carefully examined the disc on both sides and cannot see the tell-tale "pin prick" holes so I believe all is well, of course I would love to have played this disc but I no longer have the equipment here.

Pinay beauties (and aren't they all beautiful?) from around the world feature on-screen, apparently these visuals are referred to as "cheesecake glamour" ... having a beautiful lady on the screen is certainly something to sing about!
