It's a better than reasonable assumption then that the video discs I viewed were knockoffs, as many of the eBay offerings are.
Anyone Own The ETV/Promo Only Platinum Series ?

No unicorns, the Plat Series has been (and still is)my go to wedding library for 0ver 20 years. Back in the mid 90's, Promo Only first released Vol. 1-20 then not long after V0l. 21-40. It was great back in the day if you were able to get your hands on one, I was lucky and got 2. Then came the licensing issues. From my understanding, Promo Only was having another company (who I won't name)supposedly take care of the legal end and they didn't. So both companies settled out of court and life went on.
The 20/40 series set came in a book with 9 pages with the music organized by genre then bpm or artist or title. I placed all mine in univenture sleeves for convenience but here is a pic of my worn out reference guide.

Steve it depends on how great your need is. How everything is moving to HD quality or better so in that respect I would say I no. I'm in the process of replacing each track from the collection with a better copy. I can't imagine how bad it would look and sound on my 4K TV or in HD. I gotten rid of all of my movies on videotape. Unwatchable now.
I don't normally do videos .. it would be mainly for casual parties and either on a smaller 32" monitor or projected (my projector is not full HD).
I was one of the few that purchased the Platinum Series back in the day. I ended up re-ripping at the discs to a better bitrate.
A month after I purchased, it became illegal for them to sell. Good timing on my part.

Do you know where I can get a digital copy of the genre/song listing that came with that platinum series from back in the day?
so sorry to hear this sad news...my condolences
Hey DJs. I have been working to get out the the DJ business, I have been in it for 35+ years so I have accumulated a lot of net music. I have two of the
Promo Only Platinum Series 40 CD Collection that I am looking to sell. They are the original version that I purchased in the 1990's not copies. If you or someone you know are interested in purchasing these send me an e-mail [email protected]. We can discuss. Thanks

I bought a set from the same guy......they played on a cheap portable single disc CD player, but when I went to use them in my Numark CD Mix 2 (CD Players/Mixer combo) none of them would play and the player locked up and i had to turn the system off and back on just to get the CD out....could not figure at why? Any suggestions?
Hi - I actually got the Platinum Series set of 40 Discs from the guy "socotrading" also and they play on a cheap single disc player but my 20 year old Numark combined CD/Mixer won't read any of the discs. Do you know anyone else selling a set? I'm an old DJ and still use CD's. Thanks!
If your Numark won't read any discs, then you have a faulty system. If it won't read these particular discs, some systems (especially older systems) have problems reading home made discs / bootlegs.

Thanks. Yes it reads other copied CD’s just not this set. I suspect the issue is the Numark. Thanks again
