Artefact
This is an original copy of the '1978-1988' (aka 'Substance') compilation video.
It was produced by the US label and apparently withdrawn before being widely distributed. This didn't stop it from being bootlegged, and one of these tapes was the source of many of the DVD bootlegs you now see on eBay.
It's interesting to note that the Granada and BBC material still looks like it was transferred from a copy of a VHS recording rather than a clear master tape even on this original promo.

My copy, despite being an old VHS videotape, looks like it's bloody 6th generation - absolute rubbish quality. I'd dearly love to see a 1st gen like this one ...”
