Giving content a chance that others will not. Salvaged VHS and Betamax Tapes destined for the landfill have gone to create An Aladdin’s Cave of largely forgotten media.. This small hobby is all about the capturing, encoding and uploading of hidden and forgotten gems; from Tape Based Media, obsolete stuff and things that might be of some sort of interest; the sort of thing most people would throw straight into the recycling when cleaning out the garage; if this is the sort of thing you find interesting; a very warm welcome to you!

No Copyright Infringements ever intended on this channel; and everything is for entertainment purposes only. Nothing here is monetised. If you spot any errors in my descriptions; feel free to point these out.

If your bag is old Ad Breaks, Training Videos, Forgotten Documentaries and anything else between; I think you will fit right in here!

Does anyone remember a Cow and Gate Baby Formula Ad from 1990/1? It ends with an outro of Sinead O'Connors "Nothing Compares 2 U" and a long shot of a field. Possibly a cow and a gate from a hazy memory.

It's Boxing Day in the 1980s/1990s/2000s and that can only mean ONE thing. You've been dragged around Carpet Warehouses, Kitchen Showrooms, Furniture Shops and Appliance Shops for the irresistible End of Year Deals.

You've got a pocket full of of chocolates, leftover biscuits and sweets and the best New Toy which was small enough to take in the car. You are bored stiff looking for something to do in the cavernous Warehouse Shop whilst your parents are being tended too by a young and absolutely hanging shop assistant who most certainly had a few too many the evening before and probably can't wait to leave.

These stills from Adverts of that ilk stir up such memories from those days, and sifting through these tapes have proven that endless End of Year Sales Ads were just as prevalent 30-40 years back, just as they are today.

Got a pair of cans for Christmas. So hopefully I should pickup audio issues a little better than on speakers.

We have dug out quite a bit of older Legacy Christmas Content, so we are working with everything we have. I hope everyone is enjoying what's coming up each day in December!

Rejoice! For I have found a tape with loads of Christmas '93 shizzle on. So maybe it won't be such a struggle keeping my yearly "Advent Calendar" style uploads going (although I only had the 25th to upload) I will have enough to backfill now too so some days you might get 2-3 uploads and the odd short!
