For today’s On This Date in History, I pulled a DVD out from Jim Utz’ collection. Jim and Mark Deniszczuk (drummer from Ulatraman) both sent me their VHS-C tapes at different times, taped with the same camera!

I was surprised that this one wasn’t online yet- I figured that someone (like the great oldschoolstl channel) would have put this up already.

Even though it looks a bit cloudy/fuzzy, this is really off the master. I did it with my older (but still good) transfer rig, and those old VHS-C cameras were kinda notorious for the fuzzy picture. Back in the 80s, you had to make a choice- fuzzy VHS-C, grainy/snowy 8mm, or nice quality VHS but that meant hauling around a 10lb giant beast on your shoulder. Haha.
