Never had CED back in the day, but if I would have heard that intro as a kid I would have come running. It screams 'It's movie time' as loud as the popcorn popper.
When I was a little kid I had war of the worlds on video disc and the first jingle preceded the intro to war of the worlds....not gonna lie it was somewhat terrifying
Nothing says "state-of-the-art" like a product that failed on release _because_ it was outdated ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PnpX8d8zRIA.html
A lot of the movies I had on video discs had the second intro. "Fiddler on the Roof" and "Saturday Night Fever" had the first intro. "A Fist Full of Dollars", "Dumbo", "North to Alaska" and "Tron" all had the second intro.
Love it. Our first video player was the RCA Selectavision CED PLAYER. (July, 1982) The excitement of watching our favorite programs uncut with no commercials. Our first CED Disk came with the player. It was "On Golden Pond" 1981 movie. First time we ever seen that movie. It was a lot better than we expected. I still have dozens of CED's. And the player. But the player needs work. We didn't get our first VCR until 1984. The CED seemed to have better picture and sound. But was prone to skipping.
Even new discs skipped. Horrible format. LaserDisc was the way better alternative but it was 10x as expensive (especially due to the need of a HeNe-laser tube). It broke down when video rental shops came up everywhere. Then the cost effectiveness of a pressed vinyl disc compared to a video tape wasn't important anymore.
ahh, memories.. skipping frame fun! remembers pulling the video record disc out to mess it up worse because it had scratches.. lmfao! eh, the early 80s. no way man, gunna have flashbacks now. or modify the chasis so you can 'bear down' on the needle and then ya get snow on the screen. lmfao, didn't have solid humor like that with laser or vhs. then again.. uh CED had a special 'fail magic' to it... ahhh, then thomson consumer electronics chimed in and it was all over. oh well.
I was walking through the parking lot to my apartment and I’m pretty sure I heard someone playing this on trumpet. Either I’m going crazy, or I’m not the only person in my complex who knows what SelectaVision is
@@pompousFurball That one was funny,,, thx intro made me think of how the audience went CRAZY seeing that in front of RETURN OF THE JEDI,, the atari commercial too.. AND VADER THROWING PALPATINE DOWN THE SHAFT..
