Since the laser format actually predated the CED format by a few
years, you should be looking for laser titles from about '79 through
'86 as well. I too am curious if such a listing exists.
FWIW, I have several of the older Pioneer Artists 8-inch laser discs:
Pointer Sisters, So Excited, 7 songs, 30 min., 1986
Martin Briley, Dangerous Moments, 3 songs, 14 min., 1985
Heart, 4 songs, 17 min., 1986
an older 12-inch laser disc:
MTV Closet Classics, 14 songs, 60 min., 1986
and a newer MCA 8-inch laser disc:
Spinal Tap, Break Like the Wind, 3 songs, 13 min., 1992
In CED, I have the prized "rockumentary" about The Who, "The Kids Are
Alright." I was told this was the first ever stereo CED. Can anyone
confirm this?

Video-disc Update
Another comabatant in the coming 1981 battle over video discs may be
General Electric. GE announced just before the electronics show [CES
in Chicago - ed.] that it's discussing a joint venture with Japan's
Matsushita and JVC and England's Thorn EMI Ltd. to market the VHD
(video high density) disc system and its software (programming). The
VHD system was demonstrated at the Consumer Electronics Show by Pana-
sonic and JVC, both Matsushita subsidiaries. The giant Japanese firm
says it may have VHD players on the market by late 1981. They would
be priced to compete with RCA's under-$500 SelectaVision disc palyer,
slated for introduction early in 1981. RCA recently dubbed its system
CED, for Capacitance Electronic Disc; it will also be sold by Sears
Roebuck.
Both the CED and VHD systems sense TV signals encoded as capacitance
variations in discs when a stylus contacts the disc surface. But
discs for one system are not compatible with the other. Magnavox and
Pioneer both expect to market their optical systems ($700-$750)
nationwide next year, too. Optical discs, played back by a laser
beam, are compatible between the Pioneer and Magnavox players.
>From the June 1981 "What's New in Electronics" -
CED Videodisc
Insert a CED videodisc into this Hitachi VIP-1000 player and enjoy
the show for the next two hours. Buttons control two fast-forward and
reverse speeds, pause, and still framing. The $500 player has
connections for audio, video, or RF output and for optional remote
control. [A small picture of the player accompanies the article.]

Subject: Checking CED Numbers & Etc......
I usually just put my car key in the slot of the CED and open it in a store....
This is fast for me.... Then I make sure that the number on the disk
matches the number on the caddy.... Now I do that more than before....
UPDATE ON WASHING DISCS......
The Benji CED that I washed is still working fine......
-WARPED DISCS-
I recently bought Cheech And Chongs "Nice Dreams".... When I got it
home, I found out that it was a little too warped to play properly.... Does
anyone know a good way to flatten CED's???? I really don't want to end
up damaging this movie......
Later,
Dave.

Hello:
There was recently a thread where someone believing the RCA SelectaVision
VideoDisc was the first VideoDisc format was corrected by some subsequent
posts indicating the LaserDisc predated it by a few years. Well, the
first VideoDisc format was actually John Logie Baird's Phonovision, first
produced in 1927 and commercially sold in a modified form in Great
Britain during the early 1930's. After a long period of VideoDisc
inactivity, the A.E.G. Telefunken Teldec system was publicly demonstrated
in June 1970, and commercially sold in Germany for about a year starting
in April 1975. An article on Teldec appears in the January 1971 issue of
_Popular Science_.
More information on the 1927 Phonovision can be found at this website:

And to get an idea what 30 lines of video resolution looked like back
then, check out the quicktime movie at this site:
