COOPS2009 NOTES FOR VIDEO SOURCE:
How much longer can this be running?, you may ask.Well we go to 260 for sure what happens after that is in the hands again of all who have given and continue to do so generously. Of course we then have the Elite Series and The Cine Collection (which project is nearing completion and will be ready to upload after the Master Series ends. There will be many suprises there,)

This is the other chapter in the Daves collection. Up to now with very minor exceptions everything has been taken from the master tapes. But of course Mr D had access to many others also. In his collection there is a large number of U-Matic tapes. If you don't know u-matic is the studio standard video tape used back then by many TV studios. The tapes are huge easily 6-8 times the size and weight of a vhs tape and of course far better resolution / quality.

I have checked thru all of these and many again are much better quality than circulating copies. It is to this resource we go next.

These will be with original sound though many will feature as sound upgrades eventually with my two mates Yassou and Madhasse helping out

Enjoy, The Caretaker
