VHS: Money, Love, and Power - ern2150/FVCR GitHub Wiki
Title: Money, Love, and Power. "...more money, more love, and more power.." are words spoken by Scamlord Marshall Sylver in his vortex segment on many mixtapes, including this one.
Summary: FVCR worked with Lunitas (artwork) and Pacific Plaza ("pressing") to produce a physical VHS! The announcement went out before a broadcast on 6/22/2021 when the First Edition went up for sale (and quickly sold out). A Second Edition soon followed 8/19/2021, and in the meantime purchasers of the 1st edition got access to a digital copy.
The VHS itself was standard black plastic with no "front" label, but a nice rainbow gradient "top" label. The transparent plastic rectangle case had a wraparound "face" and "back" designed by FVCR with layout and artwork by Lunitas. Inside the case were some promotional items from Pacific Plaza including a VHS sticker.
The video contents of the VHS are similar to Megamixes as it incorporates clips that had been on other mixtapes. Many of the clips were also featured in the "Easy Movie VHS Sampler", and as such it's a great collection of the "favorite" segments and transitions up to that point. It also leads off with things typical for VHS releases, including a tracking warning, a production logo (Pacific Plaza), and a trailer (for the stream, naturally). One other surprise is the inclusion of a "music video" for Richard Harrison and Philip Ko's beach battle from Majestic Thunderbolt set to the end theme from Xabungle. That music video (and many others) were staples of the stream, but rarely appeared as part of a mixtape themselves.
End of Service: 60 copies were produced for the 1st edition, 50 for the 2nd soon after.
Broadcasts: (Just the 07/24/2022 broadcast on-stream so far as a Summertime treat, length 48 minutes, same as the physical copy)
