Return of the Jedi, Laserdisc, "Evergreen" FOX Video Japan, 1991

I 1991 the Star Wars trilogy films were re-released on Laserdisc in Japan. These were the so-called "Evergreen" releases, named after the promo for the evergreen Fox films on the the OBI. The image is presented in cropped "fullscreen" format, with original English PCM digital sound and Japanese permanent subtitles. Jedi was spread across 3 sides in the CLV format, but side 3 runs 40 minutes and could therefore not have been encoded in CAV. The films featured the "Fox Video" intro at the beginning of each film instead of the CBS/Fox intro, but Empire and Jedi still have the CBS/Fox logo on the jacket. Also advertised on the OBI is the mail-in offer for a sampler disc from Fox Video. You apparently had to mail in the form to receive the disc, thus the actual form is missing from many 2nd hand copies of these discs. If it hadn't come with this disc, I wouldn't have known it was missing from the others. It looks like the offer expired on 1991/12/31. Anyone who reads japanese may correct me if my assumptions are wrong. Japanese laserdiscs command a higher price if they come with their original OBI, a price/information strip that is common on Japanese media but often discarded by the original buyer.
