1978 DiscoVision "US DEMO" laserdisc

This was the very first publicly-available demonstration laserdisc (there had been a few for prototype display uses only before this.) It shows a bit on how the system worked and how the first discs were made- it turned out that for optimal quality, much cleaner conditions than what's shown here were needed.

This disc ends with a clip from the TV show "Columbo" with English on the left channel and Japanese-dubbed on the right, but YouTube's content ID system automatically blocked that so I had to cut it off at that point.

The dead side of my copy has Chevrolet's "Just a Little Misunderstanding", which someone else has already uploaded here!
