Goldstar Video Corp.

Goldstar Video Corp., later known as Goldstar Entertainment and not to be confused with the Korean-based company Lucky-Goldstar (currently known as LG Corporation), was an American video distributor located in Freehold, New Jersey. The company was formed sometime around 1990 and had deals with a few home video labels/distributors including Random House Home Video, and duplication contracts with a few companies. Sometime in 1992, Goldstar formed a children’s video division called The Little Red Schoolhouse Learning Center.

The company's video releases were always duplicated in EP/SLP mode, sometimes with only a linear audio track, although some releases were in SP mode. As always, the regular video label/distributor's UPC codes are replaced with Goldstar’s own UPC codes, beginning with the prefix "054342," and the regular video label/distributor's stock number is left intact.

At some point in the late 1990s, Goldstar Video Corp. ceased operations. This may have been due to customers complaining about the company's frequent use of EP/SLP mode and lack of hi-fi on some of their releases.
