Folder 183

US

Catalogue number 19V-49058 on the spine and shell label, with the barcode digits 0 4474 - 49058 - 3 on the back: shared by exactly three entries in the version list (US, UK promo, South Korea PAL), so it narrows the field but does not pick one.

Why this grade

catalogue number 19V-49058 is printed on the spine, on the shell label and, as the barcode digits 0 4474 - 49058 - 3, on the back sleeve. Three entries in the version list carry that number: US (4614014), UK promo (12084560) and South Korea (6578655, PAL, 1995). The sleeve and shell are American: CBS Music Video Enterprises, New York addresses on both, a US FBI warning on the shell, and no PAL or SECAM anywhere on the object, which leaves 4614014 as the fit. The owner's note (19V-49058 0 4474 - 49058 - 3) repeats the spine number and the barcode digits and matches what the photographs show; it decided nothing on its own. What keeps this at Probable: the version list gives no detail on what makes 12084560 a promo, and no photograph shows a sticker, stamp or hole-punch either way, so that entry is not excluded on the photographs alone. The list is also incomplete by construction, so an uncatalogued pressing cannot be ruled out

The object, and what marks it out

Sleeve, labels and inserts

  • Sleeve - black cardboard slipcase-style VHS sleeve, colour front with the Derek Riggs motorbike artwork and a 'MAIDEN ENGLAND' stamp logo; the back carries the tracklist, four live photographs and the barcode. Edge wear and some white chipping along the spine and corners.
  • Spine - CMV Enterprises logo and a small copy of the front artwork at the top, band and title in red, and the 'VHS hi-fi / STEREO / Dolby' block with the catalogue number at the foot.
  • Cassette - black shell with a single white paper label; the label's running time reads 90 minutes where the sleeve's reads 95 minutes.
  • Not seen - no promo sticker, stamp or sleeve punch is visible on any of the nine frames, and no PAL, NTSC or SECAM standard is printed on the object.

What distinguishes this pressing

  • Catalogue number 19V-49058 on the spine and shell label, with the barcode digits 0 4474 - 49058 - 3 on the back: shared by exactly three entries in the version list (US, UK promo, South Korea PAL), so it narrows the field but does not pick one.
  • American manufacture and distribution - CBS Music Video Enterprises, New York addresses on both sleeve and shell, and a US-law FBI warning on the shell. This is what points at the US entry rather than the South Korean one, which the list records as PAL, 1995.
  • No PAL or SECAM printed anywhere - consistent with the NTSC descriptor on 4614014.
  • Not a discriminator: the barcode and catalogue number, which all three candidates share; and the two running times (95 on the sleeve, 90 on the shell), which the version list does not record for any entry.

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

US, CMV Enterprises, 19V-49058: likely, not pinned. The catalogue number and barcode digits are readable on the spine, shell and back sleeve, and the sleeve and shell are printed for the American market (CBS Music Video Enterprises, New York, US FBI warning, no PAL). That fits the US entry, Discogs 4614014, and argues against the South Korean PAL one.

What is not settled: the UK promo entry, 12084560, carries the same catalogue number and is also NTSC. The version list says nothing about what makes it a promo, and the photographs show no promo sticker, stamp or punch either way, so nothing here excludes it. The list is incomplete by construction too, so an uncatalogued pressing of this tape cannot be ruled out.

What would settle it: opening 12084560's release page and comparing its notes and images against this copy, or the owner reporting whether the sleeve or shell carries any promotional marking the frames did not catch. Nothing in the photographs says whether the tape has been played.
