This is the second VHS I have from Mad, which is a collection of... uh... things from the Park era. I don't have a VCR on me at the moment to check what exactly the contents are, so I don't know if this consists of music videos, live performances, or a mixture of the two. I do know that the music video for Hi-Side is on here, and isn't present on the 1990-1996 DVD, but that's really all I know. I will get around to updating this once I can check it out on a VCR, to keep you all informed.
What I can say about the packaging of this tape is that I absolutely love it. The cover has a nice cardboard feel to it, while every black line of this tape's cover, minus the information at the bottom of the sides and back cover, are embossed, and it feels fantastic. I can only hope that Osc-Dis Video, the only commercially released and slipcovered Mad tape that I don't have yet, feels half as good as this tape's cover does.

In a move that is bound to have fellow collectors cringing, this tape came in partially shrinkwrapped, with a sticker on the front that I'm never likely to see ever again. The shrinkwrap was giving me trouble, until I noticed that the card insert inside the slipcover was able to fit the sticker on its back. As such, I finally felt comfortable removing the shrinkwrap, but I was extremely careful in slowly removing the sticker, so that it would neither rip nor lose all of its adhesive, and I'm honestly stunned that I actually managed to do it. Below is a picture of the final result.
