Random House Home Video and Goldstar Video[edit]

I own two Random House Home Video VHS tapes released through Goldstar Video, and they are the 1988 VHS release of The Berenstain Bears & the Messy Room, and the 1989 VHS release of The Berenstain Bears In the Dark.

Specifications for my copy of both tapes:

  • Horizontal sticker label on the cassette itself.
  • Print/press date: None.
  • Duplicated by Hauppauge Manufacturing Group, Ltd. (Code on the vertical interval at the beginning of both tapes have a capital H, albeit underlined, much like on Videolover1999's copies of the Greatest Adventure Stories From the Bible tapes sold through Goldstar.)
  • Shuffling color bars/color static combo at the end, which cuts to a widescreen static screen until the tape reaches the end and rewinds.

I also used to own a GS copy of The Berenstain Bears and the Trouble with Friends back in 2016, but it was loose and without the case. (was like that when I got it). That was duplicated by Cassette Productions, but I don’t remember what the side printings said since I no longer have it. I remember the tape using oversized reels, as well as having the "fading rainbow" following the static at the tail-end.

Do both tapes have a 1991 or 1992 copyright date for the Goldstar Video copyrights on the back of the covers and/or on the labels? 2601:4C4:4000:A8C0:345E:56E8:EDF5:2744 03:37, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

  • 1992 for the back case, but 1991 on the label for both tapes. Also before anyone asks, neither of them say HMG on the face labels. Furthermore, every single Goldstar tape sub-licensed by Random House Home Video that I know of had 1992 on the case but 1991 on the label, without it saying HMG on the face labels.

In this case, I suspect that these Goldstar Video reprint Random House Home Video tapes started being pressed in Q4 1991 and were not released until Q1 1992. 2601:4C4:4000:A8C0:E84B:DA9C:9CE:E2E2 23:19, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

GMZ Productions/CVM[edit]

I still wonder what both CVM and GMZ stand for. 47.17.104.88 18:11, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
