 Right Next Door (Scarce 1986 US/Japan 5-track 5 " PAL CD-video including the audio tracks Foul Play, I Wonder, New Blood & Right Next Door plus the full Video track for Right Next Door. Audio tracks are playable on a standard CD player but the video can only be played om a CD Video player, complete with a picture sleeve). What the Heck is a CD Video? CD Video (CDV) was a short-lived audio/video format that was used in the mid-late 1980s. It is exactly the same size as a standard 5-inch CD. It contains analog video data, plus usually 4-5 standard digital audio tracks. From The Collectible Compact Disc Price Guide, 2nd Edition.: Introduced in 1988, the CDV appeared in response to the popularity of music videos, thanks in large part to MTV. CDVs offer to the consumer a CD-single worth of music plus a full-length video playable on equipped laser disc players. The inner third of the disc held about 20 minutes of digital audio information while the outer two-thirds held about 5 minutes of laser video data. All of this was accomplished on a standard CD-size disc at a $9.99 price point. Philips, the inventor of laser disc technology also invested the CDV format. To distinguish CDVs with common CDs, CDVs were molded in a striking gold colored plastic. Polygram Records, a subsidiary of Philips, was the first to release a catalog of CDV titles. The discs were packaged in Polygram's signature blister pack and sold through conventional record retailers. The success of this format was lackluster, mainly because most people who were interested in music videos did not have a laser disc player, thus no way to play the video portion. Few were willing to pay for a CD with video when they had no way to play that video. Over 170 CDV titles in both the American/Japanese NTSC and the European PAL video formats are known to exist. The CDV began to evaporate from the U.S. and European markets in 1990. CDVs continued to be popular in Japan up through 1992. These should NOT be confused with VCDs. VCDs will play in a DVD player, CD Videos will not; they require a laserdisc player to play the video portion of the disc. Because the disc is a digital/analog hybrid, it CANNOT duplicated on a computer.   Tracks: 1. Right Next Door (Because Of Me)2. Foul Play3. I Wonder4. New Blood Video5. Right Next Door (Because Of Me)
