The “home video era” kicked off in 1977 when Magnetic Video Corporation pioneered the release of VHS tapes, introducing iconic “Video Cassettes” for home entertainment. As a dedicated collector, I focus on vintage VHS tapes from 1977 to 1982, prioritizing Magnetic Video’s groundbreaking releases, with select exceptions from 1982 to 1989. This era saw VHS and Betamax formats compete, with early adopters embracing films like The Panic in Needle Park (1971) and Welcome to Arrow Beach (1974) in their living rooms. Below is my curated collection of retro VHS tapes, ready to be refined by distributor for a nostalgic journey through home video history.
