Random Terrain's Tetraternarium

We had that album back in the day.

Yes they were luring kids, but only for their parents' money.

I like how when they say children's songs they mean public domain.

Love the red color in that video.. so vintage, but tell me this:

 

How is it that a commercial from 1973 has such good quality on YouTube and some music videos I see from the 80's on YouTube are so pixelated and blocky?

1. Source material

Something which was recorded from broadcast on VHS-LP (and probably digitized via the composite output) is going to look a lot worse than something pulled from the original half inch tapes (via S-Video).

 

2. Compression / Recompression / bitrate / resolution

Who did the compression and what compressor & options did they use? Did YouTube recompress it (both after upload and since it was first uploaded)?

Hey, I just realized this record is by the same K-Tel that produced two rarity 9 cartridges.

If you turn your head to the left, the K-Tel logo kind of looks like someone bending over. Is it a customer or a 'burned' shareholder?
