There you go, Paul, box cover!
A Derann newsletter from March 1990 reads,
"THIS IS SCOPE 1 x 200ft Col/Snd (Scope) either STEREO or MONO, SPECIAL OFFER £19.99 One of our most popular releases, just the reel to show off your scope screen. Excerpts from SUPERGIRL, NEVERENDING STORY, NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN, CAPRICORN ONE and SOUND OF MUSIC. Full reel and a bargain."
I have an earlier mono copy; I believe Derann persuaded Keith Wilton to make them a stereo master for subsequent releases.
Those were the days, employing a voice over artist for the finishing touches!
They also sold this with an anamorphic kit, including lens, holder and the film.
Later, as Mark has said, This Is Scope 2 appeared, with excerpts from Star Wars amongst others.

Hi Maurice, I think I may have the same reel, but I'm not sure. my reel features Darryl F. Zanuck talking about CinemaScope and the fact that all future films from Fox would be filmed in scope. There are shots of newspapers and periodicals praising the process, and a shot of the scope "miracle" lens. The film concludes with some stills of the cast from The Robe, and the new Fox CinemaScope fanfare. I think its a great reel, and of quite historical significance in cinema. I also have a similar CinemaScope 55 reel, where Zanuck points out the greatly increased area of 55mm film, and concludes with a great little promo for Carousel.
