What we have here is a block recording of a few Dragon Ball Z episodes as broadcasted on YTV in Canada around 1997, with all the commercials intact! You can thank my younger self for recording this and safely storing it for all those years. I am by no mean a Dragon Ball Z expert but they seem to be using the Ocean dubs. This come straight from my childhood era and it is very nostalgic for me as it is rare I can find canadian TV recording with commercials anywhere so hopefully this will make some other peoples happy and encourage them to upload and share whatever contents they might have! There is also many cool toys commercials from the era, including some for the Nintendo 64!

This is the Sega Master System Spring / Summer 1987 Game catalog that was included with the Irwin Sega Master System model 1 console bundle sold in Canada at the time. It is bilingual (English / French) as it was marketed to Canadian market and sold in the Province of Québec. Small blast from the not so distant past!

Yank was a weekly newspaper / magazine published by the US Army during World War 2. It was written by enlisted US soldiers with a few officers as managers and was initially only made available only to the US Army overseas and later on to serving members within the US. I really lucked out on these as I found a pile of them in a Montréal's thriftshop of all places. This is not really the kind of stuff you often come accross around here so I took the opportunity and bought them so I could digitize them and preserve them for the future. This is very interesting and they are in very decent condition for their age. They were made from fairly thin paper and I do not think anybody expected people to keep them around for long. I will most likely take a while to scan all of them because they take a while to scan because of their page size. It is a fairly big format magazine and they do not fit the bed of my scanner so I have to scan each page in two sections and later on photo-stich each of them to reconstruct the pages. In any case, I believe these are very historically important and it is well worth the effort. A few of them seem to be available online but It seem I have a few that are not available anywhere and I certainly did not find any that were scanned in any kind of higher resolution.

I used to lived in France when I was younger in the 90's and brought back a lot of magazines. Here's the bonus audio disc that was incldued with issue #1 of CD Stars of November 1994 containing the theme song (French version) of Dragon Ball Z and Sailor Moon. Those french version were written and produced in-house by the French TV channel and are notoriously cheezy and bad. But nonetheless, they are still fondly remembered by my generation and most of the kids from that era have the lyrics inprinted in their permanent memory:p Considering the singer of the French Dragon Ball Z song Ariane Carletti unfortunatly died a few days ago, I figured I would pay homage to her by archiving this disc. Rest in peace Ariane!
