(NB: Owned from new in 1991 and barely [if ever!] played so is in mint condition, has been carefully stored for many years [see the photographs supplied from all angles]. I currently have no VHS set-up on which to test tapes, but have no reason to believe that this tape will play anything other than perfectly - some picture degradation should be expected however as it is nearly 33 years old. Although LEMMY is mentioned on the front cover of the VHS Box & Booklet I can see no other reference to him on the contents lists - only mentioning all for clarity). PAL format videocassette - please ensure your player is compatible with PAL encoded video tapes.
(Will be sent in a purpose made cardboard VHS box with extra protection - or if necessary in equally comparable materials for a safe delivery - depending on the number of tapes / quantity ordered).
