Reely Interesting | Lili - Nuit Parisienne (1956 Stereo Reel-to-Reel French Chanson Music Album) @ReelyInteresting | Uploaded January 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
This is the album "Nuit Parisienne" (Period PST-2), an early stereo reel-to-reel tape featuring the French "chanteuse," Lili France.
Not much information appears to be out there regarding this album. The accompaniment is provided by Bela Babai & his orchestra, a Romani musician that produced many albums of his native Romani music (then called "gypsy" music) throughout the 1950's. It is noted that Bela Babai and Lili France were both working in New York at the time of this release so it is extremely likely that it was recorded in New York. It also appears that the LP release, while only available in mono, is longer and features a few songs that this reel-to-reel release is missing. On the other hand, the songs that are present on this reel-to-reel release are featured in extremely high fidelity.
Please enjoy this fun early stereo recording!

![HDVS Business Applications [August 1988 Ver.] (Analog HDTV 1080i HDVS Video Demonstration Disc)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ozFFLg4Gp5k/hqdefault.jpg "HDVS Business Applications [August 1988 Ver.] (Analog HDTV 1080i HDVS Video Demonstration Disc)
This is HDVS Business Applications [August 1988 Version] (HD-102) from a Sony-made high-definition 12 HDVS videodisc. The HDVS disc format was designed to be a highly portable 12 laserdisc-derived media format for Sonys High-Definition Video System or Hi-Vision back in the early 1990s! Back then, high definition was a little different from how it is now. It was analog (not digital) & close to but slightly different in resolution to the 1080i picture we receive over the air today as it was technically 1125i/1035i. Before the earliest high-definition media was available to the public (via satellite, MUSE Laserdisc, & W-VHS tapes), Sony and other companies began shooting footage, doing research, and, showing public displays of high-definition television. There were three main ways of storing HDTV (or HDVS) at that time: Reel-to-reel tape (HDV-1000), cartridge tape (HDV-10 UniHi), & 12 Laserdisc-style discs (HDL-5800 / HDL-2000). This footage came from one of the Laserdisc-style discs.
These HDVS discs could only hold a maximum of 15 minutes of video (on CLV discs, even less on CAV discs)...but it held uncompressed, raw high-definition component video! Take that, Blu-Ray!
HDVS Business Applications [August 1988 Version] appears to be the first HDVS disc with the intention of public sales/trade show use to show the potential applications of the nascent HDTV system, particularly Sony HDVS hardware. With a low catalog number and early production date, it is likely one of the first HDVS discs to be produced. The video first begins with a series of still images, perhaps to cycle through before a presentation would begin. Then the video proceeds to focus on various applications of the HDVS system & breaks the presentation down into five parts, each focusing on a specific application. Some of the footage is very familiar (Hills Of The Seasons: Summer), while others are expanded versions from footage found on other demonstration tapes Partial Goods segments can be found in HD on the the HDL-2000 Demonstration Disc and in SD on the ED Beta Demonstration Tape, while other segments appear completely unique to this disc (i.e. The Event fashion show).
Enjoy this very special video that was never available to the public in the original HD presentation until now!
Fun fact: Look at the sides of the image. Do you see that they dont fill your TV/monitor? Since this was recorded on the original 1984 pure-analog HDVS system, it also was recorded in the original, more-square 5:3 aspect ratio that NHK & Sony chose for the original HDTV system. By 1988, the HDTV standard was standardized to the 16:9 aspect ratio that began to be used on all HDTV systems forward and that we continue to use to this day; however, the hardware took a couple more years to be updated to 16:9. Surprisingly, YouTube supports videos uploaded in 5:3 aspect ratio so dust off & plug in your favorite 16:10 monitor to see less black bars than on a 16:9 monitor!

![Coca-Cola 30 Sec. English & Instrumental Jingles [Always Coca-Cola Urban Ver] (1994 DAT Master Tape)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/rTNpFhAJuBM/hqdefault.jpg "Coca-Cola 30 Sec. English & Instrumental Jingles [Always Coca-Cola Urban Ver] (1994 DAT Master Tape)
This is audio from a April 1994 promotional DAT tape of so-called Urban Version Coca-Cola jingles, produced by Jon Nettlesbey & Terry Coffey and sung by Joey Diggs. The tape includes an English Version and Music Only version of the jingle in short 30 second form.
This is also known as Coca-Colas Always Coca-Cola jingle. It is known mostly as a seizure-inducing standalone TV commercial that started airing internationally around 1992, but it was also remixed for the (MLB) 1993 World Series and a full length 4-minute version was released on CD! This tape was likely used in the creation of radio ads.
Enjoy this classic jingle!
