If a VHS cassette is re-recorded is there anyway to retrieve the original recording?

Question

I had an old family video on VHS and recently somebody recorded a T.V. show over it... Unfortunately that was my only copy and that video meant the world to me. Is there any way possible to retrieve the original recording? I will really appreciate any help. Thank you.

Answer 1

SORRY BUT ABSOLUTELY NOT

Answer 2

There is not.  Recording over magnetically moves the data on the tape replacing it with the new recording.  Sorry for your loss.  I lost baby tapes of my kids that way.
