Blood on the Beach VHS
 
Does anyone know what this thing is worth? How many were made? Etc.
Cuz I came upon one for free... and am rather curious. Not that I'm gonna be selling it : p : ), I'm just curious.

greedrex 01.07.2009 06:57 PM

it's very rare indeed.

noisereductions 01.07.2009 07:08 PM

wow. Yr a lucky boy! I'm thrilled just to have my DVDR copy. I do have an original VHS Gila Monster Jamboree, though. That's slightly rare.

viewtiful_alan 01.07.2009 07:14 PM

Haha I know, I'm really psyched. And it was completley unexpected to.
I just need to find our vcr now... I'll test another tape on it to make sure it wont eat shit.. haha I'm kind of afraid to use it

acousticrock87 01.07.2009 07:18 PM

I think it's worth about $5,000.

No, I don't even know what it is. Sounds sweet though.

noisereductions 01.08.2009 08:04 AM

Seriously. I wouldn't watch the VHS. It's too risky. Download an avi or an mpg and watch that, and just keep the VHS as a collectible, or sell it for big bucks, or donate it to Noisereductions because he's super awesome.

By the way, HOW did you score this?

viewtiful_alan 01.08.2009 08:57 AM

Um... remember that syg secret santa thing..

noisereductions 01.08.2009 09:00 AM

are you serious? It seems insane that someone would willingly part with that tape. Are you SURE it's an original, and not one that someone made by printing out scans or something?

viewtiful_alan 01.08.2009 09:02 AM

Its the real deal, its even got the description note from the manufacturer in it... I really am not sure what happened with this, but no its real.

I mean like I had forgot about that secret santa thing, and just assumed I wouldn't recieve anything. I see a package in the mail and expect like... maybe a book and a joke gift.
And I open it up and I'm just kind of.. dumbfounded?

viewtiful_alan 01.08.2009 09:04 AM

I will post a pic with me and said tape if you have any doubts

noisereductions 01.08.2009 09:29 AM

no, I believe you. It's just sort of.... unbelievable. haha. Y'know?

anyway, it's a great flick. I have a DVDR copy from one of the most generous boarders on here and was able print the artwork out nicely & that little 1 sheet that came with it and all. I'd love for Smells Like to do super awesome official DVD reissues of (here we go again):

Blood On The Beach
Gila Monster Jamboree
Live At Stache's
Put Blood In The Music
& "the elusive EVOL documentary"

and if Universal was smart they'd do the same for:

Screaming Fields Of Sonic Love
Silver Rockets/Cool Things
The Year Punk Broke & Blues Scale
Sleeping Nights Awake

I'm afraid that a dvd release will kill my tape's value.. any ballpark on monetary worth?

stu666 01.08.2009 04:25 PM
