The original release prices of those discs were $44.95 for 1776 and $59.95 for LOST HORIZON. A few years back, I paid $80 for LOST HORIZON alone. That was just before the DVD came out. That DVD and the subsequent Blu-ray have undoubtedly depressed the price for the laserdisc.

Yes you did.
If you ever manage to find the Laserdisc of Tom Sawyer with the John Williams music doc then let us know.
I had no idea people still bought Laserdiscs or, in fact, owned Laserdisc players. It's not like with LPs, I presume, where some older records may actually still be worth something. It's more like an obsolete medium (like the VHS) in the day and age of DVDs and BluRays, so I'm surprised it's still catches so much money on the secondary market! Fascinating.

I think it has to do with getting special features not on any other release, as well as the isolated scores which were a regular thing on LD. VHS, obsolete? Hell yes! But you know what? Ive been tracking down some titles on VHS because unfortunately some titles were horribly re-cut or changed for their DVD/BluRay release, and the only way to get the theatrical version is to hunt down a VHS (or LD if it's that old)
Yes, I indeed did get these for the Rare Special Features and if the seller also had the TOM SAWYER Sherman Bros./John Williams Laserdisc with the Bonus John Williams materials I would be thrilled. Unfortunately he did not.
They did finally release a Restored Cut Special Edition DVD of 1776 which probably actually has more stuff than the Laserdisc. Now I have both.
