This has been mastered directly from the 1990 LaserDisc release, not from VHS like most of the other copies floating around the internet. I authored the 13-part series onto 4 dual-layer DVDs and one dual-layer Blu-ray (all 11 hours and 20 minutes encoded as standard definition but in the H.264 codec with a max bit rate of 12mbps, higher than possible on DVD).")
