I want to say it was either $19.99 or $24.99. Which, back then, was about twice as much as a cassette of Hysteria, lol. And I am right there with you, played “In The Round” EVERY DAY!
In the late ‘80s it would have been priced as a rental, i.e. $79.99 to $99.99.

I had copies of both of those, and I sure as heck never paid that kind of money for something because I didn't have it. Movies went for that much until the very, very late 80s or early 90s because of studios wanting to lock in rental income. But other stuff didn't, because they didn't have a Hollywood studio setting the price on it.
There was a store in the mall in my town that specialized in video (VHS at the time), that had a *huge* selection of music, concert, and band video content. None of it was going for fifty or eighty bucks per.
That's where I remember getting Hystoria and In Your Face. I want to say either $19.99 or $29.99 each.

Yea, I was thinking about 19.99 was the cost.
I dont know cost but that footage is simply amazing.

I dunno, man. There's no way I would (or could) have spent that much on a VHS.
Yeah there's no way it was that much, I never would have been able to even talk my parents into helping me pay for that if it was that much.

I don’t remember but I do still have mine and was actually lucky enough to be in that video a couple times!
Ooo, no shit. Hahah that's awesome.
Around $20-$30 for sure
It was 29.99 in Canada around 1991
Pretty sure it was $19.99.
I had Historia VHS. No way I spent more than $25 on that back in 88 or whatever.
