Revision as of 23:58, 25 November 2009

Let's see what you can see...

This article is in need of images.

Specifics: Saturday Morning compilations' covers

Tempo Video was a British home video range originally owned by MSD Video that released several Generation 1 Transformers videos in the late '80s and early '90s.

MSD Video had previously handled the distribution for the Video Gems Transformers releases under the name of Multiple Sound Distribution before producing and distributing their own Tempo Video releases. In 1989, MSD handed over distribution of their Tempo releases to Wm. Collins. This is also the time when the 'V' prefix was dropped from the videos' production codes. In 1990, Wm. Collins renamed themselves as Collins Video and took over production of the Tempo Video line for a while before it changed hands again to Abbey Home Entertainment within the year.

Collins Video made the decision to take the Tempo logo off of their packaging, but it can still be seen following the Collins logo at the beginning of the tapes. Similarly in 1992, Abbey released a couple of tapes under the banner of Tempo Kids Club which featured a new logo on their video sleeves, but retained the proper Tempo Video logo on the actual tapes.

Notes

  • Not only has the title to the episode "Heavy Metal War" gained an 's' on each of its video covers, but on the cassette label of tape #94122 it is merely called "Heavy Wars".
