Thanks sharing nice nostalgia from back in the day. Although this is part 7 the video starts off stating part 6 just thought I mentioned that for the record.
Dr. No, Thunderball, OHMSS, Moonraker are retail tapes, not rental. Warner Home Video put their back catalouge out for retail purchase in 1986-88. You'll notice that the 1987 Warner security sticker has WHVWHV instead of the old style Warner bubble logo as a security sticker. Plus Warner used cheaper black tapes compared to the Fuji and Maxell grade tapes for the UK rental tapes. 1987 marked the transition from the Silver logo to the new design with the Golden Warner shield. Warner experimented in 1986 with a silver shield design for the UK rental market. Those titles with the silver shield were Friday the 13th, Hollywood Ghost Stories, Theatre of Blood, Cassanova 1 +2, A Nightmare on Elm St: Part 2, Marine Issue and Swamp Thing. I have quite a few UK Bond rental tapes, including those listed above, which are big box retail tapes. WH. Smiths, Our Price, and HMV used to sell these big box Warner retails at 14.99 each. The first official retail Bond tapes were released in 1987 by Warner's. They had a silver sleeve design, then in 1988 Warner released the Bond's again with Parkfield Entertainment distributing under the Warner banner.
Thank you for the informative response. Yeah I did an earlier video for the blue coloured releases. I have a few of the silver artwork ones yet to do a video on.
Interesting they used the wrong artwork on the back of Thunderball and You Only Live Twice. Wonder if it was a genuine mistake at the time that they weren't aware off.
Cool collection! I recently added Live and Let Die to my laserdisc collection- nice and big and great artwork
Thank you. Lovely laserdisc.

Thank you. Forgot to update that. Yes it’s nice to revisit home media from 40 years ago.
