BASF VHS were AWFUL in the 80s! I remember sending several almost new tapes back due to consistently poor results, and switching to Scotch. I think I have about 5 BASF tapes that survived since the 80s!
Wherever possible, play tapes on the machine originally used to record. This should help minimize tracking problems. It is just a problem that you get with VHS, unfortunately! Especially with modern auto tracking.

unfortunately, the original video recorder has died.
one hand holding the tape in place has soved the mastering problem, sometimes, sometimes not.
got some dodgy memorex ones too
so memorex + dying video player = aaaaargh
will suddenly change when i reach the NICAM years

Of course, storing the tapes correctly helps, e.g. always rewinding to the beginning, storing the correct way up. People often say they can't understand why one recording on an identical cassette next to another has survived, when the other is poor - it could often be down to something as simple as this.
