   Credit must go to Jorn Barger; the tape tree was his idea - he put
the people together. It was a great idea, and remained one after he
flamed-out. Especial thanks should go to Peter Manchester - without
whom nothing would have happened.

   No, the Rockflix video has Kate in a red dress and boots, tromping
around a patch of ground that passes for the moors. The Dutch videos
were not used for promotional purposes other than the Dutch TV
broadcast. The Rockflix video was used in the UK early, until the 
Keefco video was made. The Rockflix video was used in Austraila.
