Taxi Driver CED Video Disc

One of the more short-lived video formats, the CED video disc was an LP-sized movie system that featured a floppy disc held in a case - you inserted the entire package into the player! It was actually played with a record player-like stylus, and was only good for about 60 plays before it would be worn down to a point of being unwatchable.

As unappealing a format as it was, the actual discs are often things of beauty, and I'll be uploading my collection over the next few months. First up, this amazing artwork for Taxi Driver - a 1983 release.
