The occasional lack of luminance with garish colours and the occasional flash of "ghosting" suggest to me this was recorded in an area with very poor analogue signal, too. (It's very easy to forget now just how variable analogue could be depending on where you lived!) However, this is far from being the most damaged tape I've ever come across! What about a few that literally wouldn't play at all??
Well to be honest, technically the title should’ve been called... The most damaged VHS tape that I was actually able to Capture without destroying the VCR or having the video capture signal keep cutting off so I had to run it through a time base converter. But the title wouldn’t fit. Thinking about it though, the tape might have not been damaged at all, it might have been a very poor TV signal so yes you might be right. Oh well, thanks for watching/commentating.
Lately I've been having this problem with recordings that are in SP; EP, LP, and SLP recordings play perfectly, but for some reason, SP recordings are like this, and it doesn't matter if it's a store-bought movie on VHS, or something that was recorded off of TV at home, if the recording is in SP, it succumbs to this. I thought perhaps a good head cleaning would remedy this quandary, but it did nothing to help. Anybody have any ideas?

What this origin video called
Flashback in the 90's
It's remarkable how the continuity announcer's voice was still clear as day so you could still make out what was going on.
Audio requires much less bandwidth than video so its far easier to detect by the VCR
0:00 - 0:36 the people who made the music were obviously dying and out came this ✨masterpiece✨

Seems a partially erased tape, not a tensioned one.
Alternative title name: The world's most damaged VHS tape *ever!*
Does anybody know how can I create this effect on a tape on purpose?

Did that just say "there's no way out, n̵o̵ ̶w̴a̸y̴ ̸o̸u̷t̷" or is it saying something else?
