3,000 VHS tapes? 😮 Wow, there must be quite a few titles in their collection that deserve a preservation.
For years, Star Video was my “local”:
They had a banner outside that proudly declared their store to be the biggest video library in the country, that unlike the nearby Blockbuster, possessed every UK home video release. This boast was only slightly inaccurate. 😃 I really regret that when they closed down during the mid 2000s, I didn’t visit them and buy up the rarer VHS tapes but I wasn’t aware at the time about the extent to which home video is afflicted by alternate versions and out of print titles.
