This is part 2 of 2.
Back in 1980, the record industry was in turmoil - a place they seem to find themselves in on a regular basis. Featuring interviews with various record label executives on weather or not this new thing called "music video" would save the record business.
This pre-dated eMpTyVee, which didn't launch until August 1st, 1981.
Featuring clips from various artists including:
Kate Bush Lene Lovich Todd Rundgren The Rolling Stones Michael Nesmith Rickie Lee Jones Tom Petty Fleetwood Mac The Buggles Meatloaf Bruce Springsteen
It's amusing (although unintentionally so), and the hosts of the program really don't seem to grasp the relationship of music and video. And people under 20 might find those giant DVDs somewhat disturbing.

Artist started complaining about videos in the latter part of the 80s because they said it destroyed the imagination of the listener.You have a personal image in your mind about what the song is about if you have never seen a video for the song and when you see a video for it ,it kills it
Funny on the video discs. Right idea but wrong time and lesser technology. Thank God we have better quality technology now. Gotta love those DVD's. :-)
Also, my father bought a laserdisc (which were the same size as the "videodiscs" in this segment) player back in the early 90s. He still has an entire shelf of them in the den, and the dvd player he has now can also play laserdiscs, though I doubt anyone has played one of them in years. We replaced most of the laserdiscs with DVDs years ago. I wonder if I could convince him to let me auction them off to a collector or something.
Wow- are they still there? I have every consumer CED videodisc title ever put out (just missing 'Story of O' which was withdrawn before it went on the market, and a few dealer-only discs) There's a few other nuts out there who collect these, check out cedmagic dotcom
