Above is basically the original text from Dimeadozen.org.
The quality of the video is so good I was doubtful this ever came into contact with magnetic tape.
After a bit of reading up, apparently Sony's Betamax WAS that good! It lost the domestic battle to VHS (mainly due to cost) but was the preferrered choice of professionals. It also introduced Pulse Code Modulation audio so thank you Sony. Some may recognise bassist Derek Forbes and drummer Brian McGee, both ex-Simple Minds. There's also a tenuous Pink Floyd connection - David Gilmour played guitar on 'Only One Word', on the album '1234'. I've enclosed cover artwork by frankvink.
