The Lost Tape, *VHS Club*, Part 1: Charles Vane (VHS Maniac)

My hobby and collecting vhs began in the early 97's.Exactly this year, a relative of mine died and left behind a small number of cassettes from his former video library. I kept them as a memory of him. But later this memory became a hobby and a mania. I collect cassettes that have been released in our country and are therefore sounded in my language. I also collect international music cassettes of rockabilly and psychobilly performers. Contact him here

To return from where I kept my relative's tapes -from them, over the years, I bought cassettes at local other retro markets or online sites, and from 
the small amount they became large. Very few of my friends know about this hobby of mine. I haven't told almost anyone. Over the years, I was briefly an uploaded to vhs on a torrent site in our country. There I met other cassette collectors like me, with whom I keep in touch and we are friends. From there, about 4 people with me started uploading movies, which led to the revival of the video wave in our country. More and more people were joining and uploading movies or downloading. Some moved to other sites, others gave up for personal reasons and remained just collectors.

Two of them made their own websites as catalogs, archives for the films and their covers.With one of them I even recently made my own project for the first Bulgarian video t-shirt + poster and stickers. Which you will be able to see in the photos below. 

My favorite movies are horror and post-apocalypse movies. I love and animes too  -example- Vampire Hunter or Fist of the North Star.  

My first tape was on the movie Class of 1999 part 1 on pirate tape with 2 movie in cardboard box. I can't determine the best cartridge at the moment. I have many favorites I can give an example like .... slashers, gialos, gore movie to actions, adventures and etc.

First Bulgarian Porn movie

The rarest is not one - For example, I own the first Bulgarian and the last porn. I think it's pretty hard to find. Animes and 

post-apocalypses are also hard to find here too. I will tell some interesting facts about this porn movie. As I said it is the first Bulgarian porn.

It came out semi-legally. Participants were recruited in a local newspaper. Those years were poor in money. And a lot of people for a good fee have applied for participation and casting through the newspaper.

Part of the collection from Charles

The film was shot outdoors and many viewers spied and watched for free. What voyeurs? haha The role of a popular dwarf here also emerges from this film. He claimed that his penis was shortened in the movie... but these are other stories to return to the topic. 

I also want to show from my collection what the first Bulgarian videocassettes and editions produced entirely here look like. I also collect video players. 

I have the second video produced in Bulgaria however, it is not entirely Bulgarian production but I put it as part of this plant. 

Akai VS-23 EDI are manufactured under a Japanese patent as well as the model Tesla Avex VM-6465  I'm trying to find the first one called "Electron", I hope to find it one day and add it to my collection. 

Basically, this is my story and VHS mania.
