I WANT YOUR MTV! If you have old Beta or VHS tapes containing recordings of MTV from 1981 - 1987, I would love to talk with you (especially if the tapes contain the videos, VJs, and commercials!) I'll either buy your tapes, accept donations, or transfer them for you! Shoot me a message and let's talk! This commercial break collection came from an old Betamax tape recording of A SMALL TOWN IN TEXAS when it aired on ABC June 24th, 1981.
