MTV Original premiere - 1st hour
Posted: Sun Aug 06, 2006 8:07 amI'm looking for the ORIGINAL broadcast debut of MTV as originally aired, especially the first hour. Not the crappy re-creation that has been recently showing on VH1 Classic.
What I have is MTV Hour1 rebroadcast in 91 with a HUGE 'Hour1' logo in upper left. 1st gen mono copy. commercials were vcr pause edited out.
This was NOT a true rebroadcast from 81 for far to many reasons that I can list here but it did include all promos and VJ chatter unlike what VH1 just ran but at least VH1 did not clutter up the music videos with pop ups and they were complete and nice to get in stereo. however VH1-MTV did not stick to the authentic playlist tho I never expected them to.
AFAIK the only true orig broadcast from 81 are hours 2,3 & 4 and I have those also.
