Don't know to be honest mate.

I'm sure he invested some money to have the dubbing done, but he sure made good money on these sales. There is little doubt these were very recently dubbed, likely in someone's basement.

did you buy all the reels from the UK based seller? Saw them too, but they were very expensive if I remember correctly.

I came to the conclusion that he's probably played a blinder and copied some videos onto reel tapes, spun a yarn and collected a cool £300+ from everyone who bid.

If it is vhs sourced, which it looks like it is then It will be lossy, but Traders little helper says it's not mpeg, so...? Is TLH not reliable for analysis?

The DVD I shared here some time ago was VHS sourced

Mkls wrote: I did not found the concert itself, so it is even likely that some people asked for a new transfer to be made from the libraries umatic master tapes (not necessarily the actual TV master tapes of course), because the initial transfer as we all know is a crappy conversion in term of colours. So some local contacts should be able to check if the conversion is ready and a vhs / dvd is available for rent.
