Media Home Entertainment series - M100 · 1:30am Dec 31st, 2017

Media's early releases, with unknown stock numbers, were Alice in Wonderland: An X-Rated Fantasy, Superman, Flash Gordon: Mars Attacks the World, Fairy Tales, Ribald Tales of Robin Hood, The Beatles Live in Tokyo, Swinging Ski Girls, Swinging Sorority Girls, Slaves of Love, Reefer Madness, Sex and the Office Girl, The Stones in the Park, Flesh Gordon, Nine Ages of Nakedness, Fantasy in Blue, The Beatles at Shea Stadium, Auditions, Hey, There's Naked Bodies on My TV!, March of the Wooden Soldiers, Mustang, Night of the Living Dead (1968), The Groove Tube, Fantastic Animation Festival, Flash Gordon: Rocketship and Magical Mystery Tour. The Beatles-related tapes were pulled from the market in early 1980 due to legal issues with Northern Songs. The Rolling Stones-related tape was pulled from the market at one point in 1979 due to legal issues with ABKCO Records. The catalogue had been all over the place, with Media issuing adult films (!), classic films and concerts.

Helping Media's climb to high rank within the home video market was its "something for everyone" approach to releasing videocassettes. Its catalog was an eclectic mix of comedies, horror films, pornos, thrillers, science-fiction films, action films, westerns, concerts, martial arts films and even documentaries. Media also issued public domain films in line with most independent video companies. In the mid-1980s, Media was one of the first independent video companies to offer closed-captioned videos (first with NCI then with the WGBH Caption Center in Boston by 1987).

I must tip my hat off to the folks at vhsplatter.blogspot.com, without whom I would have a very hard time tracing the titles for the M100 series. Most early Media releases went without a stock number.
