The VHS contains videos from several events held by ID&T in 1996. Tape duration: approx. 30:30. Movie duration: 29:16. Packaged in a cardboard slipcase.
There's no tracklisting, but the various events are listed on back cover with their location:
"- Earthqueake [sic] IV (Mysteryworld - Zaandam)
- Thunderdome XII Tour (several locations)
- Thunderdome XIII Tour (several locations)
- Thunderdome 1996 (Leeuwarden)
- Thunderdome XIV Tour (several locations)

The names of the events also appear in shorter forms in the video (as given in the tracklist above). Performing artists also also named on screen.

Tracks VHS-1 and VHS-3 to VHS-6 are in mono quality.
Track VHS-1 is a introduction and trailer, first showing the same text as on back cover (without the numerous spelling mistakes), then extracts of the following videos.
Back cover claims that "This tapes [sic] contains smashing previously unreleased footage of all the above mentioned events!". However, all videos from Various - Thunderdome XII (Caught In The Web Of Death), Various - Earthquake IV - The Ultimate Hardcore Collection, Various - Thunderdome XIII - The Joke's On You, Various - Thunderdome '96 - Dance Or Die! and Various - Thunderdome XIV - Death Becomes You were already previously released in the respective video registrations of these tours and parties. Tracks VHS-4, VHS-6, VHS-7, VHS-8 and VHS-11 are significantly shorter here than on these source videos.
Track VHS-7 is a small part of [url]=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Prophet%2C+The]The Prophet[/url]'s DJ set that was just before DJ Delirium's performance on the original Thunderdome '96 video.
Track VHS-12 was sampled from the Various - Thunderdome XIV (Death Becomes You)Thunderdome XIV[/url]; at the beginning, a very short part of the previous track on that compilation can be heard ("Booming Track" by Lady Dana & DJ Skorp).
During track VHS-13 a few technical credits appear on screen with the note "All rights reserved - 1996".
Note on back cover: "℗ 1996 © 1996"
