All,

An ISO file for the Kate-Topia DVD KaTe compilation is now put on my Google drive.
Due to its size, I'm not going to leave the file forever on the drive.

KateTopia_NTSC.ISO

Cheers,

Thanks, Sozo!

To future readers, if Sozo has removed it--I've got you covered.

Hi,

Thank you very much Sozo! Amazing!

I really wanted to see this copy for the Japan clips, it's very good quality relative to the other copies I have seen.  This is the next best copy I have, which I put on YouTube prior to you posting the ISO https://youtu.be/jUUEc2p76HE  I mixed this copy with various audio sources, the original audio source was not so good.


Best regards :)

Hi,
 
If you meant Japan clips, I might be able to help a bit more.
As far as I remember, here are the stories of the clips.
 
Sound inn "S"
Almost all clips arount world stem from a single source, the Japan Fan Club tape.
Older generration copies were around before Kate-Topia, and replaced with the
"better copy". Kate-Topia tape used a tape I sent to Tom Estes, which is a child to a tape
sent from the Fan Club.
Origin -> ... -> Fan Club master -> My copy -> tape sent to Tom Estes
   -> Kate-Topia master -> My Kate-Topia copy
So, I have a VHS tape at least three generations younger than the Kate-Topia tape.
 
Tokyo Music Festival
TBS (the TV company) aired the Moving clip on its BS digital channel some while ago.
The clip shows much better quality than previous ones.
Kate-Topia tape is based on the tape before the BS broadcast.
The BS clip can be identified with the picture of speakers beside the clip to cover the side panel to 4:3 clip.
I believe I have a VHS tape with the clip, directly recorded from the broadcast.
 
Fruitopia (Summer Soltice Japan)
Kate-Topia is based on my tape sent to Tom Estes.
My copy -> tape sent to Toms Estes -> Kate-Topia master -> My Kate-Topia copy
So I should have a tape at least three generation younger.
 
When I have time I will try to capture my tapes and upload them to YouTube.
 
Sozo

Hi,

Thank you very much for that information.  I would love to see those videos from an earlier lineage.  If it is not a hassle, would you also share download links to your original captures?
I'm grateful for your generosity.


Best regards,

Shampistols

Thank you very much Sozo.  I have an original VHS tape from the rec.music.gaffa but no way to digitize it.

Hi Danilo,

It’s a Google user-interface glitch.  I was at first confused too.  Try this:

Hi,
 
Finally, I've made a digitized copy from my Japan Fan Club video.
The tape was a copy distributed by Japan Fan Club.
 
Tokyo Music Festival
   Moving
Sound Inn "S"
  Moving
  Interview
  Them Heavy People (Rolling The Ball)
  The Man With The Child In His Eyes
  Long And Winding Road
  She's Leaving Home
  Let It Be
 
The clip is a straight copy from the Fan Club tape, with no editing.
There are considerable glitches from the tape itself and skews with
analog pause-and-restart editing, but they cannot be avoided.
 
I have not checked if this is any better than the clips currently on the internet.

Sozo-san,

どもありがっとうございますた! (I hope I spelled that right) you're a star!

Hi,
 
"どもありがっとうございますた! " is making perfect sense, but it reminds me of the "Mr. Roboto" song.
More properly, you can write;
"どうもありがとうございました! "
 
I was wondering why I didn't try uploading the clip on YouTube.
It was partially because the tape is from the Japan Fan Club and I didn't like to "be a star" based on their effort.
Another reason was that I have an experience of being banned by YouTube by uploading clips from TV broadcast. It took 10 years to recover the status.

Thank you for the correction

Many thanks for these collections / restorations. I too have some LHs/gaffa VHS tapes of old gathering dust, hadn't got around to trying to digitize but doubt I'd get as good results.

I will possibly get some equipment in the near future to digitize.  When I do, I'll make a separate thread so that people can send their tapes if they want.
