I have noticed a lot of release dates of VHS releases which are incorrect. In particular a lot of CIC releases have the original VHS release dates of 16th November 1987 for some reason. I am not sure where this has come from and why it was blanket put across a lot of titles. For instance Star Trek (The Cage) was stated as 16th November 87 release when it was actually released much earlier (between April and June 87), the same with Grease (also April-June 87) and many other titles.
Does anyone have a source through old video magazine (video world, video today etc) confirming any CIC dates at all?
