Play MSTie for Me

Play MSTie for Me (or "Play MST for Me") is a series of videos initially sold by Best Brains that collect clips of songs from various episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000. Originally sold as three individual VHS tapes, the series was collected on the Play MSTie for Me - Triple Decker DVD, released by Best Brains on November 1, 2004. The DVD was subsequently re-released as a bonus DVD from Shout! Factory. Volumes 1 and 2 contain short intros from Trace Beaulieu.
