Classic MTV - Who still has their old VHS tapes?

[Dude111]

I'm sure that somewhere in a box in the basement or in the garage, I still have numerous homemade VHS tapes of songs/vids off of MTV, including numerous episodes of Headbanger's Ball.

I would LOVE to have some stuff fropm MTV recoreded in analog from the first day!!!!!!!!

I love the analogue beauty just like I saw in the 80s and earlier watching on analogue cable

I should have merged my reply,looks silly back to back.. Ah well

I am also looking for MTV shows, I am interested mostly in MTV Europe but not only. I have some HBB in very nice quality from MTV Europe and 120 minutes from MTV US. Please mail me [email protected]

I havent ever seen MTV Europe.. Did they start the same time in 1981??

I have tapes from when I recorded shows like Liquid TV, The State, Real World. Those were from the early 1990’s but I do have tapes from the late 80’s of a Paul McCartney video weekend on VH1.

MTV was a great initial concept that died due to its incessant tinkering.

Would love to see your catalog on YT, but I am guessing you are concerned with the TM and copyright issues.

Ya its sad they got greedy... Playing music was excellent!!

Its horrible what they are dong now

I grew up in Canada, and I've got hours and hours and hours of stuff I recorded from MuchMusic. Just hundreds of individual videos, interviews, music specials and concerts. I wish someone could see it before I die, but I have no experience preparing to post on the web video for which I don't own the copyright. I'll bet a lot of you folks would like it a great deal. I have video from the day "Weird" Al Yankovic took over the station and turned it into Al Music. 1st generation, recorded at SP, and in Hi-Fi. I've got a basically unused VCR for this purpose, but I don't have a video capture card or know much about the hardware and software that creates it.

I would love to have the first hour or so from MTV recorded from ANALOGUE CABLE on VHS

Larry smEllison just acquired the rights to MTV along with all of the other media companies he purchased with his enormous wealth. Who knows, maybe a digital MTV package will be released for sale someday soon. Like all his fellow multi-billionaires, Larry only cares about the acquisition of more money -- like he can spend it when he kicks -- so I'd bet a dirty old penny that a purchasable MTV package is inevitable.
