Who videos





Here's the header and Who part of a catalog issued by a video collector.
I've ordered some stuff from him and everything worked as 
advertised, though I'd recommend not ordering anything with
a quality rating below VG+ unless it's something you just
have to see.

Welcome Fellow Video Collector,

If you are interested in purchasing video tapes I charge 
$25 for a 120 min. or $30 for a 160 min. video tape. Unlike many, 
I don't charge per item. You can select as many items as will fit 
on to a 120 or 160 min. tape.  Please include the seven digit index 
number with your selections. This helps me in assembling your tape 
from the hundreds in my collection. Be sure to note the quality rating 
that accompanies each selection. I suggest that you choose selections 
with a rating of VG+ and above, unless you are a long time collector 
and are trying to obtain everything that is available by a certain band no 
matter it's condition. You have the unique opportunity, due to the 
nature of my collection  to have video compilations of all your 
favorite bands compiled or you  could order a tape containing 
rare video by many different groups. 

ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS

For example, let's say you were interested in a David Bowie compilation tape. 
List your selections like this:

3254193 Soul Train	10 min.
3383985 Dinah 1976	30 min.
262296X On Stage 1978	30 min.
3814057 Kenny Everett Show	5 min.
2620000 Midnight Special 1973	45 min. = 120 minutes

There is no extra charge for shipping costs. There is however, an additional 
$5 charge per tape for orders outside the United States. All tapes are 
recorded in SP mode on TDK E-HG or MAXELL HGX GOLD video tape. 
Make checks or money orders payable to Mike Covher. 
Tapes are usually sent out within seven days of receiving 
payment. For fastest service make payment using a money order.
I'm interested in getting video trades together as well. Send me your 
list. I use TDK EHG or MAXELL HGX GOLD video tape when making 
your tapes so I ask that you use either of these when making tapes for me. 
I have three video lists. #1.Progressive Rock/Space Rock #2.Classic 
Rock/Hard Rock #3.Oldies, as well as an audio list. If you have not 
received all of these lists, notify me and I'll send to others to you. 
In these lists I have organized the solo projects of past and 
present band members with the main group. Example : Peter Gabriel is
 listed with Genesis, John Lennon with The Beatles, Rick Wakeman with Yes, etc.
