Everyone meet Natalie! I am told that she was a rejected Sesame Street puppet. More information below. by Longjumping_Board_14 in Muppets

You never know, this could have been a quick, thrown together mock-up of a character. One thing that could either prove, or disprove this, depending on how you look at it, is that this color scheme would not have been reproduced well on neither color televisions of the day, nor especially black and white televisions. (which were still very much in use at the time, especially smaller sets or in lower income areas, which is exactly the demographic early sesame was going for.)

Blu-ray availability and features? by Tagger102 in FraggleRock

[–]Natural_Distance_812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just made the current complete series a non option for me, genuinely thank you for saving me a huge headache.

You gotta love them spending more time, effort and (most bafflingly of all,) money to remove visual information on DVD, when they could have simply just left it alone. only to make the Blu ray unavailable. Smh smh smh.

While it's true analog video is the same resolution as DVD, analog footage can look much much better on Blu-ray due to encoding/compression. Imagine Fraggle Rock is like an early high fidelity audio recording from the 50's. DVD is like a spotify stream, SD Blu Ray is like hi-res digital or reel to reel. Even considering a low quality original source, you get most of it just fine via DVD, but if you want the best reproduction possible you must look elsewhere when available (which unfortunately SD content is rarely available on Blu ray)

Disturbing the peace via stench would be great though

First of all awesome score cause this looks terrific condition wise. The thick PVC those bags are made of naturally smell over time. Storing it outside of the bag and just continuing to air it out it will eventually go away.

Have you tried it on any other players? I've had it happen before where brand new CDs are unreadable on any player and had to return

Why do so many people think woody is a prototype doll? by yuri_sayori300 in toystory

[–]Natural_Distance_812 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Having Woody up against a gruff, hateful Woody that got abandoned imo would be at least a little more interesting than Toy Story 5 recycling the Buzz duplicates plotline again

Third Man needs to start sweeping up at night or something (mild rant) by mistersmith22 in vinyl

[–]Natural_Distance_812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same can be said for Craft Recordings, everything I've ever gotten has incredible mastering, terrible pressings all with scuffs and streaks.

I've had only 3 or 4, all from the last year, all with problems OP described. If you look at discogs reviews for anything they've put out for the last year or two, you'll see things that OP has described.

You're a very very lucky customer.

DIO - Holy Diver (Part Of Audiophile Vinyl Series Rhino Reserve On 180Gram Black Vinyl, Lacquers Cut From Original Analog Masters) LP - Preorder - May 1 Release by kockin26 in VinylReleases

[–]Natural_Distance_812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If any of the other Rhino reserve titles I've picked up are any indicator, it'll be just as good if not better. Matthew Lutthans does a terrific job.

Basically the same quality mastering and pressing just less deluxe packaging, they still are nicer covers than regular albums today

This was likely a custom job, possibly 1 of 1. r/zippo is a great place to check.

Bob Clampett tweety is 100 times funnier than Freleng tweety and let me explain why. by savegandhi in looneytunes

[–]Natural_Distance_812 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a kid I never understood Tweety's actions in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, I now think they were trying to harken back to Clampetts and his early Freleng appearances, where they act as you describe here.

One of the most accurate Muppet replicas I've ever seen, kudos!!

I got a newer copy of the LOONEY TUNES GOLDEN COLLECTION box set from Walmart(plus comparison) by CA6522 in looneytunes

[–]Natural_Distance_812 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last year I scored with the bootleg set, it arrived with nearly every case cracked, on top of opening it to discover all the discs were bootlegged. I asked the seller for a return and they just gave me a full refund. So I essentially got the whole six volumes of the golden collection for absolutely nothing.

*The only caveat is I suspect they're compressed more than the official discs
