Laserdisc Swimming with Sharks Pioneer vintage film, English jacket, cinema

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This rare Laserdisc features the film "Swimming with Sharks," a 1990s cinema classic. The photographed item is a Laserdisc video disc in its original sleeve, with a color illustrated jacket. The visible side shows a promotional image of the film: three characters in suits, including one man in a dominant position facing another, while a woman in a light blue suit stands in the background, holding a tray. The title "SWIMMING WITH SHARKS" is printed in large yellow letters in the center. The jacket also features several inscriptions in English, including the phrase "He's been humiliated, kicked and spit on... and it's only 10:00 AM." as well as the mention "HYSTERICAL" at the top, on a red background.

The "Pioneer The Art of Entertainment" logo appears at the bottom left, confirming the original Pioneer edition, an essential reference for Laserdiscs. At the bottom right, the "Vidmark" logo is visible. The entire item is protected by a transparent plastic film, suggesting it has never been opened or has been carefully preserved. The jacket features a typical early 90s design, with a simple graphic layout and bold colors (red, white, yellow). The overall appearance is that of a vintage video library item, intended for the English-speaking market, as indicated by all the English text.

The square format and large size of the sleeve are typical of Laserdiscs, which are distinguished by their larger physical media compared to DVDs or Blu-rays. No other accessories or booklets are visible in the photo.

The photograph highlights the front side only; no information is provided about the back or the disc's content. The visible surface of the jacket shows no apparent major defects: no scratches, creases, or stains visible under the plastic film. The illustration and text are clear, and the colors are well-preserved.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible jacket appears to be in very good overall condition, protected by a plastic film. No major defects, missing parts, or alterations are observable on the front side.

Did you know? The Laserdisc, widely launched by Pioneer in the 1980s, was the first mass-market optical video medium, preceding the DVD. While it never achieved massive success in Europe, it became a reference for cinephiles and high-end video libraries, particularly due to its image and sound quality superior to VHS at the time.
