"Fix noise in rear end." Lawl!

The real question is: Why did she have to pay "a hefty repair charge" if she had a 1 year old car? Power train warranties were usually 5 years or more at that point in time.

Funny- only time I've seen "The Choirboys" is the last side, found on the dead side of "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". Odd sides of other titles were also found on dead sides, of course the GM stuff is usually more interesting and rare.

My "Three Days of the Condor" disc has a CLV test-pressing of Bullitt, which was never actually released on the DiscoVision label.

I actually uncovered the dead side contents of the single-sided "To Save A Life: Choking & CPR" Discovision release in my collection, and found it to be a GM Canada 1980 Chevy Trucks demonstration disc (complete with bilingual audio)! Of course, being originally a rejected side, the audio & video are pretty noisy, but clear up a bit about 3/4 into the side. I'm transferring it to DVD-R with my trusty 1981-vintage Pioneer LD-660 player :).

Could there be other Laserdiscs containing "hidden" films like these?

MCA DiscoVision titles made before the IBM/MCA partnership that formed DiscoVision Associates.

Forgot: MCA DiscoVision titles from 1978-1979 having "dead sides."

The dead side will be covered with a layer of film preventing the laser from reading it.

However, this layer can be cleaned off with isopropyl alcohol.

Of course, if the dead side looks like it's "rotted" and green (actually, that's a layer of glue holding two disc halves together), then that means the dead side is a transparent disc; "green slime" dead side, which was DiscoVision Associates practice.

Jean Wilson... gets some lube... and has a clicking noise in the rear-end.

And that's why good communication is so important, eh? X-D

I actually have some of these videos on LaserDisc that was given to my by my boss at work. :)
