:The print date on my copy of “The Prince and the Pauper” reads April 12, 1991, and my copy of “Peter and the Wolf” is a Canadian copy (please note that I live in Canada), so there's no print date on it. MrServoRetro, March 20, 2022, 11:05 PM (EST)

I live in the US, and the only Canadian VHS tape I have as of right now is a 1989 or 1990 re-print of the 1988 Troy Gold release of “Old Mother Hubbard”, which contains only 4 public domain cartoons (running time is 30 minutes), 2 of which are Max Fleischer cartoons. It was distributed by HGV Video Productions. The ink-label on that tape has a copyright date in 1989. It does not have a print date either. On the bottom spine, it just has the tape nominal, which is H-15 and the country the tape was manufactured in, which is Hong Kong [those printings were made of black ink]. At the end of that tape, after the fourth cartoon, there is half a minute of silence, then the regular-pitched beep-tone of death playing over the black screen, which lasts for only a minute or so until the tape transitions into the full static screen of death, and if I’m not mistaken, the tape appeared to be duplicated at GTK Duplicating Co. (GoodTimes Home Video’s duplication arm). [[Special:Contributions/2601:4C4:4000:A8C0:DD05:5501:2FB3:C63B|2601:4C4:4000:A8C0:DD05:5501:2FB3:C63B]] 10:56, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

It originally had the record tab intact when I got it in the mail, however I broke it off when I noticed it, just so I don't accidentally erase anything on the tape. The tape appeared to be duplicated at GTK Duplicating Co., the video duplication arm of GoodTimes Home Video Corp.
