Music video

edit

A music video was released around 1997, which resembles the opening credits from the movie The Spy Who Loved Me of the James Bond franchise, airing a few times on MTV. It appeared later on their Golden compilation.

On April 8 2020, Ken Andrews on his YouTube channel took a call from director Phil Harder to discuss how the video was made, and released a new transfer of the video from the recently recovered film copy. It was upscaled to High Definition playback.[3]
