Cool, I'm a part time Karaoke Jockey for extra cash. I could use those lasers, Pioneer rules
Can't believe you left these goodies behind;) 80's kitsch rules..
Hey the 80's called they want their music back!
Laserdiscs are RAD!

Eugh.
I think this is one of my faves! lol...
WTF is that?

Looks like the demon child of a CD and an LP that got together in someone's record box lol!
Now I feel old--I own several of those...possibly even that exact one!
rich_edwards, Laserdiscs were one of the various video formats available in the '80s - they actually predate CDs by a few years. They are the size of an LP, and are recorded on both sides.
New Wave is better than any of the stuff on the radio these days...
Technology at it's best !!!!!
i got a kick out of these laser disks when i was there.They were like 80'"s hits" and 90'"shits".
just a little childish humor :)
WHEN I WORK SOCIAL STAFF BACK IN THE 80'S. THERE WAS A PARTY EVERY NIGHT. MANY FEMALE GUEST CAME FOR A GOOD TIME AND I MADE SURE THERE WISH CAME TRUE. OH THE TIMES!!!!
you could have gotten a few bucks for these on eBay
I worked at The Pines from 1989-1998
I remember playing that disc in the main lobby after dinner for sing along before the main show
I also was the Dj at the pines ski chalet from 1992 - 1996

Ha....cool find, but I couldn't resist tho, I would of had to taken it.
The first and only laserdisc I saw was Wild Somethings with Mickey Someone.

Yes, that's how influential it was on my life.

Regardless, it was still a contradictive movie of its time. Oh yeah, Wild Orchids. Lame by todays standards. Just like Dirty Dancing, I suppose.
Ive only ever heard of such fabled things as laser discs! Ive never seen one!
Lasterdiscs contain analogue rather than digital images, though the soundtracks on later ones were often digitial.

One problem Laserdiscs sometimes had was the plasic coating would absorb water in certain conditions & affect the aluminium underneath, casing something known as laser rot making the disc unplayable.
I've never seen them either, but now I'm interrested in obtaining a few and a player.
Laserdiscs were the forerunners to today's CD's and DVD's. Just another thing from the complete joke of an era. (80's)
your so lucky to go to all these awesome places!
jai monkey,
Technology at it's best !!!!!
Yeah DEAD Technology!
That disc was visual?

Hum, 12 " laser discs. The 8-track of video.
Don't see them anymore.
Discs cost upwards of $80 and you couldn't record.Glad I never owned one.
Last I heard in early 1992 on news radio was they ceased making them, but two co.'s would remain to service them.
Kind of makes you glad if you didn't own one.
The 80's had the best music and style of clothing! It was a fun, happy time in history where classy discotheques ruled! : )
Wow I feel old.
