1982: STAR WARS HOME VIDEO OFFER


From 1982: a chance to own STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE on home video (if you somehow neglected to tape it when it was on ITV in October) for a mere fifty quid (plus postage).  

At that sort of price, I'd rather watch the TV outing and fast-forward through the commercials (assuming you didn't hit 'pause' every time they went to a break during the recording).  

This was, of course, before the concept of sell-through had become established... opening up another revenue stream for the studios (a release window after rental... but before the free-to-air TV premiere).

  1. NEW VOYAGER was another quality mag from the 80;s. I have quite a few issues but I'm not sure which one this ad is from...?
