How did you know that the "CDI" VBIs that I posted were by Cassette Duplicators? Do you happen to have any copies of Willy the Sparrow or The Little Fox that were duplicated by Cassette Duplicators as mentioned on the label? Also, how did you know that the stickers on 2007-2008 Paramount demo tapes were by Crest Cassette Corporation? --TheVideoLover (talk) 04:01, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
 * It was either that or Custom Duplication Inc., as both had the CDI initialism. The fact that Cassette Duplicators was in Utah was pretty much a dead giveaway to me, as those tapes with the CDI VBIs you posted included one from conservative-leaning NRA. As for Crest, the name was pretty much on the sticker. --IlCattivo25 (talk) 13:21, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Disney/Buena Vista Home Video
I recently looked up some old 1980s and 1990s issues of Billboard Magazine on the World Radio History website.

Regarding some of the Disney's Sing-Along Songs episodes (including "Under the Sea", "Disneyland Fun" and "I Love to Laugh"), which 1990 and '91 issues would you suggest looking for that advertise their original release dates (known as street dates)? I thought "Under the Sea" was released sometime in the spring of 1990 (I could be wrong), and I thought "I Love to Laugh" was released on the day (February 8, 1991) when the first "Rocky & Bullwinkle" videos were released on VHS (I could be wrong on that too). I looked in the "Top Kid Videos" and "Top Video Sales" lists and they don't specify the exact release dates. They just specify the original release year and the number the titles were placed in in the charts.

Any hints?

Disney's Sing-Along Songs: Very Merry Christmas Songs
How come some later copies of the 1990 VHS release of this DSAS episode had the 1988 DSAS promo, followed by the 1990 Disney Christmas promo? My copy of the 1990 release was printed on November 24, 1992 at Technicolor in Livonia, MI and it only has the 1990 Disney Christmas promo at the end. And the earliest copies of the rare later variant I saw were printed in 1993, particularly copies printed at Technicolor in Camarillo, CA.

So, did this rare later variant actually occur in 1993 even though it still had the 1984 red-orange warnings? Or did it have to have occurred sometime in 1991?

Disney's Sing-Along Songs 1990 Releases
@IlCattivo25 Last night, I discovered a 1990 copy of the DSAS episode "The Bare Necessities" on eBay that was accompanied by a pamphlet advertising "Disney's The Little Mermaid" now on video. When you open the pamphlet, it advertises that two new DuckTales volumes were coming soon. And it also advertised that the DSAS episodes "Under the Sea" and "Disneyland Fun" were new to video, but apparently "Disneyland Fun" was originally going to be titled "Disneyland Songs" before a last minute change. The seller didn't show the print/press date of the tape itself, though.

The copy of "The Bare Necessities" that I own wasn't accompanied by any materials and it was pressed on April 13, 1992.

What would have to be the earliest print date for a tape like this to be accompanied by that particular pamphlet? 69.85.235.224 11:58, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
