The extremely elusive Video Collection promo from 1987 which only appeared on like 3 tapes to my knowledge, it was never uploaded online at all till early 2019. Even after it was uploaded the uploads suffered from over saturated colours, had poor quality sound and were often compressed.
I finally caved in after so many years and bought a tape with this promo off eBay (a tape I will never actually watch BTW) just so I could archive a good copy of it.
Converted from VHS to DVD with a Panasonic DMR-EZ48V Combo unit, ripped with MakeMKV and encoded with Handbrake in 1080p at 50fps.
The original tape has a fair few dropouts but it is nearly 40 years old give or take.
