Before the time of VHS, DVD'S and streaming all most of us had if we wanted to revisit our favourite TV series in the mid seventies was recordings of TV shows on compact cassette recorders , remember them, and Power Records. These discs contained recordings of selected episodes made using non of the original cast!
Come on, who had these at the time?
As well as the long players, there was two singles, each with an accompanying comic: One was 'Breakaway', and the other was one of the original stories about the Alphans travelling through time and visiting biblical times!
Fantastic stuff Scoop! I didn't have these but would have enjoyed them. Over the years as a collector I've got hold of Superman, Frankenstein and Wolfman Power records and a couple of Planet of the Apes Book and Record Sets. The 1999 ones must be scarce. I've never seen them before.
ReplyDeleteI don't know whether they are scarce,Woodsy. The LP's turn up fairly regularly, but I'm not sure about the singles. I'm still after the Breakaway one.
