Thanks! I really appreciate it. I’ve been looking for that episode for a while, hopefully now I’ll have some luck. 😃

Someone will eventually reply to you in the comments. I used to download everything that’s posted there because I was actively helping people find some of the lost ones. I’ve been focusing on other stuff though. A few were found with some questionable means lol.

I may have a couple of the “lost” episodes. I’ll have to do some digging, but if I find something I’ll let you know.

I was trading records online a couple of years ago with someone who works for Viacom (or what used to be Viacom), and he not only has access to all of the episodes, but all of the unused footage/outakes! He of course told me he wasn’t able to share anything with me, but I imagine there are some less scrupulous people working there. 😉

I have some but not all of them.

Do you have the KC & The Sunshine Band episode?

https://lostmediawiki.com/Behind_The_Music_(partially_lost_VH1_documentary_series;_1997-2014) ask in the comments here. There was two working links at one point in the comments.

Thanks, but unfortunately the link for that episode only leads to a trailer for that episode that I uploaded to my YouTube channel a few years ago. 😄 Good site, though.

They don’t update the actual list very often. You have to go down to the comments. You’ll see that the full episode was posted twice in the comment section but the links are dead. That’s why I said ask in the comments for someone to reupload it 😃.

Ok, I’ll give it a shot! Thanks! 😃

No, you’re not the only one. I have no desire to see any of the non-OT films again. Once was enough.

Heritage Auctions is pulling the same shady crap they did with the video game market. There’s a documentary about these practices on YouTube called “Exposing FRAUD And DECEPTION In The Retro Video Game Market”.

I watched the documentary and it was quite shocking. I’d say what they’re doing is definitely illegal, and might even be considered racketeering. I hope nobody is duped into bidding on these fraudulently-valued items.

Wow, that’s amazing, thanks for the info. That did seem awfully fishy to me. I thought Heritage was a reputable auction house. Guess not! Yikes.

I’ll check out that documentary.

Speculator boom, '80s nostalgia, and money laundering would explain that price.

And yet there are some other copies going for $11. I don’t get what’s so special about the ones that are going for thousands. 😕

I’m starting to regret selling all my old VHS tapes… 8-O

RIP J.W. Rinzler

So sad, only 58 years old. Thanks for the update.

Thanks, I did a search to see if anything had already been posted, but didn’t find anything.

Everybody here knows him from his great “making of” OT books, his family has set up a gofundme page to pay for his medical expenses:

…and I might as well post my favorite ESB poster, while I’m at it:
1982 re-release

My favorite of all-time (and supposedly George Lucas’ favorite as well):

Style “D” “Circus” poster, 1978.

Wow, this horrendous. I can’t believe they can get away with not paying royalties due. I guess a contract doesn’t mean anything. I hope he takes them to court, gets a sympathetic judge and wins big. I still have my copy of “Splinter” that I read when I was in my early teens.

I would have had no idea this was happening if I hadn’t read it here. Thanks, SilverWook. I’m putting a link on my SW facebook pg now.

I hope Alan gets A LOT more support!

Great job! Thanks again!

Good luck with this project and thanks for tackling it! Can’t wait to see it. 😃

Give the people what they want. Ghostbusters, Back To The Future, etc., also all doing well in drive-ins. Can Ferris Bueller be far behind? 😉

I turned my sister down when she asked me if I wanted to go see ESB at the drive-in in 1980. Boy, I was dumb back then!

Has there ever been a silent screening of any of the OOT movies with a live orchestra? I always thought that would be a wonderful thing to see.

I don’t care for the scores for the PT very much. I think a lot of the overkill with the music was to try and distract from what was happening (or not happening) on the screen. ROTJ is my favorite of all the scores.

Yeah, just SLIGHTLY overpriced, methinks! 😉
