THE TAPE LIBRARY
what's on my shelf, and how we trade

Front Row · My Tape Library & Trading Rules

Here's the shelf as of Labor Day weekend. Everything is recorded off the air at SP speed, one episode to a tape, labeled in my own handwriting, which the people I've traded with say is the worst handwriting in the Midwest.

SHELF 1: JOEL
The Crawling Eye
Robot Monster
Cave Dwellers
Pod People
Gamera
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians
Teenagers from Outer Space
Manos: The Hands of Fate
Eegah
The Brain That Wouldn't Die
Mitchell (Joel's last, Mike's first)

SHELF 2: MIKE, COMEDY CENTRAL
Samson vs. the Vampire Women
Pumaman
Night of the Blood Beast
Laserblast (the last Comedy Central episode)

SHELF 3: MIKE, SCI-FI CHANNEL
Revenge of the Creature
The Giant Spider Invasion
Space Mutiny
Time Chasers
Overdrawn at the Memory Bank
Werewolf
The Final Sacrifice
Hobgoblins
Gorgo
Soultaker
Hamlet
Squirm
Danger: Diabolik! (the last one, taped twice to be safe)

SHELF 4: MISC.
The 1996 movie, bought in a store
Two Thanksgiving marathon tapes, promos and all

WANT LIST
• Anything from KTMA. I've only ever seen one of the Minneapolis episodes, on a tape so worn you could barely make out the silhouettes.
• The early Comedy Channel episodes from 1989 and 1990, before I had cable.
• A clean copy of Manos. Mine is a copy of a copy of a copy, which honestly makes it look better.

PHIL'S TRADING RULES
1. E-mail me with what you've got and what you're after. I'll answer within a week, faster if I'm on my nights off.

2. Tape for tape: you mail me blank T-120s, name brand please, not the three-for-a-dollar kind from the gas station, and enough stamps to send them back. I fill them and mail them back within two weeks.

3. SP speed only. EP copies of copies turn into mud, and MST3K is already a little blurry to begin with. The silhouettes need to be silhouettes.

4. I leave the old promos and bumpers in. They're part of the history.

5. No money, ever. Not from me, not to me. This show grew because people passed it around for free, and I'm not going to be the one who changes that. If you ever see someone selling copies at a convention, walk away.

6. When episodes come out officially on tape, buy them. The people who made this show should get paid for it.

7. Rewind before you mail. Come on.
