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.
Every line below was read off a native-resolution crop of the photograph named beside it.

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.Filmed at Birmingham N.E.C. on 27 and 28 November 1988, during the Seventh Tour Of A Seventh Tour -- Iron Maiden's own back-sleeve text calls it "a personal fans-eye view of Maiden at their bombastic best". Running time 95 minutes. The release credits no performing line-up.
Directed and edited by Steve Harris. Produced, engineered and mixed by Martin Birch. Sleeve illustration by Derek Riggs. Photography by Ross Halfin. Package designed by The Complete Works. Issued by Picture Music International. Video copyright EMI Records Ltd.
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.
A photograph cannot grade a record - this is a description of what is visible, not a grade.
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.
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.
