I'm especially interested in footage from 1990 to '93. This when they had a cutout logo (currently my avatar) and were called "video hits one". I accidentally erased alot of what I used to have taped, but still have 16 almost full music videos, as well as a partial Standup Spotlight with commercials (Rosie O Donnell hosted it).

I also got back into it again during 1998-2003, when they did Behind the Music and other documentaries. I have much more of those, along with a countdown of 100 greatest videos and some other misc footage I could trade.

The only VH1 I have goes back a little farther then that, I've got this:
VH1 Year in Review Show 1987 (3 Hours look back at the videos from 87) w/o/cs on 2 DVDs.

I taped that as a kid, but lost it a few years later, I'd LOVE to see that again. :D



BTW, I'm willing to make copies of everything I personally have (or monetary compensation if I don't have as much) from VH1's music years (about 2003 and before) for everyone.

BUMP

Just wanted to give this another shot. In the past year I've acquired ALOT of vintage MTV footage from '86-92. Mainly alternative rock videos from 120 Minutes my friend sent me, along with some misc other classic rock and new wave videos. In fact I have about 10 120 Minutes episodes in addition to what's left of my VH1 stuff.

hi, i have alot of vh1 and mtv video material from the 80s, 90s, etc, but it is in storage right now. we had a house fire last fall and i had to out what i could salvage of my collection in storage until we get in a new home. will reorganize my collection once we get moved in a home. thanks stoogedog

Thought I'd give this another try. Early 90s VH1 is so rare, I hope SOMEBODY has something out there still recorded. :) If early to mid 80s MTV mixes are still preserved and floating around, why wouldn't old school vh1 be too? I've gotten tons more vintage MTV mixes I could supply for a trade too.
