    Kate Bush: The Whole Story - VHS Cover Scan?

    Does anyone out there happen to have a copy of Kate Bush: The Whole Story on VHS? And, if so, would you be prepared to scan the cover for me? I have damaged my copy and I would like to restore it as best I can... Let me know if we can come to some kind of arrangement.
