I can vouch for both Starship Audio Industries (Great Falls, VA) &
The Instant Replay (Waltham, MA) as excellent sources for LV discs
by mail. Starship normally sells at 10% discounts; through April 15,
I think it is, they're having an even lower sale price : 15% off.
They also have second-hand discs for sale, & they buy used discs.
They have an excellent catalog & a toll-free hotline with a recorded
message of the latest releases. The Instant Replay has several imported
LV discs which I have been unable to find anywhere else (especially
recommended : Kate Bush Live at the Hammersmith Odean, one of the
best mixtures of music & visual performance available). Both stores are
quite prompt at filling orders.
Incidentally, I just this week received from Starship a disc of special
interest : The National Gallery of Art Videodisc. You can single-frame
step your way through 3500 paintings, prints, & statues. It's the ideal
vehicle for showing off your high-resolution video monitor. The list
price is $95, but Starship is selling it for 15% off for a limited time.
That's still over $80, but think how much a hard-cover book with 3500
paintings, reproduced at the size of a 25" screen, would cost.
