The soundtrack starting at 0:38 is wicked, TR808 music at its best.

Hello Classic VHS Museum, how you doing? I think you've got an amazing collection of children VHS tapes. I was wondering if you would be interested in purchasing some children's VHS tapes I've got quite a lot and I'm desperately short on space in my house . I haven't worked since February and I'm not on any sort of furlough scheme so I do need to raise some money for my finances. I can take photographs for you if you'd like to have a look at what I have got? Best Andrew
