Why this grade

Catalogue number 19V-49058 and the "PROMOTIONAL SCREENER / NOT FOR SALE OR RENTAL" wording match Discogs 12084560, the only 19V-49058 release on the master carrying the Promo descriptor; the two same-number siblings, 4614014 (US, NTSC) and 6578655 (South Korea, 1995, PAL), are listed as ordinary retail copies. No photograph shows a country, a video standard (PAL/NTSC), a barcode or a printer line, so the UK country comes from the Discogs entry and is not read off the object; the US and Korean releases are separated only by that Promo descriptor, which is a Discogs label and not something printed on the copy. The owner note "Promo vhs - 49058" agrees with what the photographs show and helped choose among the three 19V-49058 candidates. The version list is incomplete by construction, so an unlisted screener issue cannot be excluded.

The object, and what marks it out

Sleeve, labels and inserts

  • Plain white card sleeve with a single black promo sticker on the front, red Iron Maiden logo and a red stamp-style "MAIDEN ENGLAND" box.
  • Black VHS shell with a white typewriter-style label printed sideways along the cassette; the label repeats the sleeve wording.
  • Only the sleeve front and the cassette label were photographed; the sleeve back, spine and any insert are not in the folder.

What distinguishes this pressing

  • CMV (the label line reads "CMV PRESENTS") and EMI Records ((c) 1990); CMV Enterprises is the label on Discogs 12084560.

Production credits are sourced from Discogs release 871017, the UK VHS and this master's main release, and apply to the film rather than to this copy. Where this copy's own sleeve or shell carries the publisher or copyright lines, they are quoted in the evidence above.

Condition, from the photographs

A photograph cannot grade a record - this is a description of what is visible, not a grade.

  • Sleeve: general handling wear with some edge and corner softening; no splits or seam separation visible in these shots.
  • Shell/tape: the cassette shell shows light handling wear. No visible cracking, warping or tape spillage in these photographs. The tape has not been played through in these shots, so its condition past the visible shell is unverified.

Nothing on this page comes from playing the record. No Goldmine grade is claimed for it, or any other. I have no record of where this copy came from.

What is settled, and what is not

Sleeve back or spine showing a country, a PAL/NTSC mark or a barcode would settle the country; without it the copy rests on the Promo descriptor alone.
