(note: all 1990 set releases have ‘CBS Fox’ on the spine - the similar looking 1992 set releases have ‘Fox Video’ on the spine)

Some more images of the 1990 OT Box Set and the tapes within:-

^ The Academy Awards accomplishments featured on the wing sections - obviously do not appear on releases from 1997 onwards.
 

^ Note the 1990 copyright legalese for the CBS / Fox Company - despite having 1988 legalese text located at the top of the box.

The 1988 copyright legalese at the top of the box is only for the term ‘Star Wars Trilogy’ - first used for the 1988 3-tape set release. Yet many people likely mistake this 1990 release as being from 1988 - as 1988 appears on the first line of text.
