In 1996, the blight of globally standardised sleeve design came in, as Ian Fleming might have said, like a rattlesnake and brought to an end the visual variety which had hitherto characterised the international James Bond home-video sleeve experience.
The first of the 'one for all' sleeve ranges is characterised by the usage of the so-called 'baby hands' key art (so named due to the presence, on many of the Photoshopped key image composites, of the same smooth-skinned stubby-fingered hand holding a Walther PPK).
Although a number of reissues, each with a differing layout, appeared between 1996 and the demise of the VHS format, all utilised the 'baby hands' key art.
