Songs That Won the War (collectors box with VHS, audio cassette and coin)

~ Release by Dame Vera Lynn presents (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

From my (albeit light) research on this, this appears to be the original collectors release of "Songs That Won the War" which was produced as a "presentation box" that contained the VHS tape, audio cassette and a commemorative 50 pence coin.

The barcode and catalog number given are from the VHS tape; it appears that the audio cassette never had any identification. Reviewing further photographs indicates that the VHS tape barcode is the same that is found on the outer box.

This version also sports an older variant of the Royal British Legion logo on the front cover of the VHS tape and audio cassette.
