Additional Information
Not for sale - for demonstration purposes only as the cover says.
This THX ''WOW'' disc is considered as one of the ''holy'' grails of LD collectors. The ''WOW!'' sequence is the most important part of the disc: a large trailer containing scenes from Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Willow, and finishing with the Cimmaron THX trailer.
There are actually 21 chapters, though the cover says 20. There is no sound at all on analog tracks. The longer featurettes are widescreen but some material is TV size.

Not only a holy grail for Laserdisc collectors, but a fantastic way to demonstrate your home theater system regardless of year. This was heavenly mastered by the geniuses at THX, and the picture and sound quality is crystal clear. At side two, it comes with useful test sequences to calibrate your system.
Production of this disc started in 1990 into the mid-90's. To check your pressing of WOW, if you have one, look at the user's guide card and look for the year of copyright. For example, my copy was from 1995.
