    Were SS albums ever released on 1/4" tape?

    I just thought of something after I posted. A clue!! CBS only released Quad LP's in a format called "SQ", which could be played on regular stereo equipment, but revealed quad information when ran through a decoder. Since I've never seen "The Sesame Street Book And Record" on SQ, it's an even...

    Were SS albums ever released on 1/4" tape?

    LOL!!! Can't you just see some kid sitting in the middle of the room just REEFIN' on the quad-position joystick???? "Big Bird's over here!! Big Bird's over there!!! WHEEEEE!!" I think that Quad was beyond the scope of SS, don't you? Although it's a neat fantasy. And besides, the stereo...

    Were SS albums ever released on 1/4" tape?

    There's definitely a possiblity! I've had several 8tracks of SS, and I used to collect 1/4", but I've never come across one. The one that probably has the best shot is the original since it was distributed by CBS, and I had a couple of reels released by them (some S&G, etc), so I know they...

    Any George Harrison Fans?

    Which is the video of him in a baby carriage? Is it True Love? If so, that one is extremely rare. I've been meaning to pick up the Concert For George but we're moving next month and we can't spare the cash. But soon. You're right about them leaving so many videos off the...

    Jim Henson Sesame Celebration CD on eBay

    It's funny how we used to rip those Longboxes to shreds and now they're so collectable! (Depending on what album it was, I suppose...some people make profits auctioning off the first few Beatles longboxes--with no CD's in them---to collectors!) eric

    Does anyone remember a Fraggle songs video?

    I have Doozer Music as well, and the first couple of songs are repeated from the Fraggle Songs video, making it even more of a ripoff. I've mentioned this before, but if anyone wants to buy this tape from me let me know. I don't think I really need it in my collection. eric

    "MT on CTS" a BIG HOAX!

    I am not impressed. Not only do I have to sneak around at work to get these taped, but I bought a stack of good quality VHS to tape them on! Michelle Pfeiffer indeed! Of course, I needed the Jim Nabors ep, so that's not so bad, but I was so psyched to start taping Muppets...

    David Bowie

    If you really want to check out the unbelievable range of music this man is capable of, get these two albums: "The Rise And Fall of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars" (1972) "EA RT H LI NG" (1997) These don't even sound like the same person!! But he pulls them both off as pure...

    Kevin Clash

    Don't put 100% stock in CDDB. When I put "Fleetwood Mac" (1975) in and call up CDDB it comes back as BOTH "Fleetwood Mac" and "Rumours" (1977) for some reason! I also had a blank in the drive once with only one song recorded on it. When I started up iTunes, it called on CDDB (it does that...

    MT comes to CTS (w/ revised listings)

    Well, mostly, my problems have arisen on VCD's. These include dropped frames and sync problems, usually caused by dropped frames. The higher quality the tape I'm getting the program from, the less trouble I face when transferring. This shouldn't be a problem on DVD-R, at least if you use an...

    Does anyone cry when they watch Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson?

    I don't think it's downloadable. I haven't seen it, anyway. I think this should be a DVD release, since a lot of real fans have yet to see it. It's very informative and extremely touching. I had it on tape when it first aired, but I've moved so often since then. You know, you leave a few...

    Conan O'Brien in Toronto

    Aw, man! I forgot that was this week! I missed last night. I'm never up that late and I have no remote for my VCR to set the timer! Oh, well. eric

    MT comes to CTS (w/ revised listings)

    You could fit them all on a couple of tapes but I want to record them on SP to preserve some quality. If I had my way I'd import them directly into the computer from the satellite receiver, but there's no way for me to do that, so I bought good quality tapes and I'm doing it this way. I've had...

    MT comes to CTS (w/ revised listings)

    I just bought 6 decent blank VHS so I can get them all. That is, if nobody steals the tape when I'm not at work! You see, I have the timer set on the satellite receiver at work to change over every night at 7, and a floor model VCR contains my blank, also with the timer set. So, as long as...

    Does anyone cry when they watch Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson?

    I don't see how you can't!!! When Robin reads that letter from an apparently very small child that says, "We will miss you Jim Henson. Matt." *sigh* eric

    MT comes to CTS (w/ revised listings)

    Is this going to be replacing the Muppet Show? If so, it can't run for very long, as there aren't many episodes of MT at all! That's fine, though, as these are much harder to find, and I'm sure they'll go back to TMS after a break. Any info? eric

    Your Thoughts: Ed Sullivan Muppets Magic DVD

    I finally got mine last night. I love it! I think it's a great look at the important history of the Muppets. I love seeing the evolution of some early favourite characters, as well as the evolution of Henson's style in general. I think I like this particular version of Manah Manah best of...

    Muppet fans should check out this new show

    The puppet stuff kinda reminds me of a show (now off the air, unfortunately) here in Canada called "Internet Slutts". This was such a daring adult puppet type thing and very funny. I only have 5 episodes of this show and I have a feeling there are close to 20. I've mentioned it on the forum...

    Muppet fans should check out this new show

    I think before anyone goes on there should be some kind of warning about this show NOT being for kids! I was a little startled by the language. I'm not offended, I just wasn't ready. OK. I'm ready now. Pretty funny!
