Well, not entirely unlabeled. The spine of this VHS tape reads "Blank 12/93", and that's all the info we have. Let's watch it!

Re: Exploring an Unlabeled VHS Tape - Mystery Tapes
I've actually been watching a shit load of VHS tapes myself lately.
and I quickly discovered that the best parts are all the unlabeled ones. Which we have a lot of.
I am neck high in over 500 tapes right now.
So I've been doing an unlabeled tape, then a labeled or commercial release one, then a home movies one and repeating the cycle.
I've made a new series called Blind Box Australian Ads.
Naturally, with so many god damn tapes and conversions I have to do. editing and sound mixing, and quality production values are all NIL
but people might get a kick out of some of my VHS uploads:
And yes, I know I forgot the most important things. I don't have click baity titles, or stupid thumbnails, or a patreon for getting money for nothing for other peoples work.
It's just shit I'm finding on VHS!

Confused how he looks 80 in 1996 and is still alive..
More confusing is the Mince ad. No brand, no shops, no farms and no price... just BUY MINCE!

There's so many free to air channels now it doesn't matter that they still show boring shit. SBS Viceland and World Movies show some alright stuff though.

Re: BG VHS thread
I found something important on the next unlabeled tape and have powered through the pain to deliver it today.
Back to the Future ad from channel 10 in 1990:
In celebration of the film releasing 35 years ago today (July 3rd 1985, so because of the timezone of it's release, I can say that)
Marty goes back 30 years, and this is a 30 year old ad.
THIS IS HEAVY!
Happy 35th Back To The Future!
