Also includes a COA with the following text:

"Certificate of Authenticity. This limited edition box set of Dune is brought to you by Laser Disc Distribution, with the help and assistance of the following organisations, BBC Post Production, B.F.I Stills Dept, Channel 4 Television and Movie Collector Magazine (Trevor Willsmer). This box set is one of a limited number edition of 2,000, your unique limited edition number is shown below. LASER DISC DISTRIBUTION Identification Number XXXX David Henry Operations Director."

At the end of side 4 (chapter 37) the "Still Frame Dump" contains 299 stills from frame number 43604 to 43903.

The feature starts with the opening narration, title credits & the "SECRET REPORT" section shown in full width as seen presented in the original cinema release. During the "SECRET REPORT" sequence, when the planet Kaitain moves forward on screen (approx 4 minutes 14 seconds from feature start) the image ratio changes with the black bars becoming smaller & some of the side framing is lost.

Perhaps the nicest commercial UK PAL laserdisc release issued - care was clearly taken when compiling the discs & the contents, cover art etc, a superbly packaged & presented set. Now very hard to find with all the original paperwork (Certificate, poster + 4 page promo/info sheet) & the Dune T-shirt still included.
