Well, let's be clear about this.  The British PAL version of _The
Single File_ and the Japanese NTSC version of this are *not* bootlegs.
They are real releases by EMI.  Heck, they're shown in the notes for
_The Whole Story_ album.  It's the recent American release of this
video that now appears to be a bootleg, although there was some hope
a while ago that this had finally been released legitamately in
America.

This mistake seems very common nowadays, and I'm not sure why.  The
name of this song is "Them Heavy People".  I'm sure you know that,
Richard!  If this is the title of the song given on your copy of
_The Single File_, then you're right: it's probably a bootleg.  The
title is given correctly on the legitamate British and Japanese versions.
