Their were videos for both Silk Pyjamas & I Love You Goodbye - the latter was exceptionally good with Thomas floating down a river with his piano & if I remember correctly his wife was also in the video. Silk Pyjamas video was quite nice too set somewhere very warm definately not near me . I believe I do have snippets of both of these on video somewhere also . I also like some of my promo 12" vinyl records ie different sleeves or different labels on the vinyl itself eg May the Cube 12" - is a black & white sleeve ,& black & white label but no mention of Thomas or Dolbys Cube - just 'DC'. & a promo 12" Get Out of My Mix - which has a plain sleeve but the label on the vinyl is green - with a red stamp naming the group & tracks on it. Plus of course the marvellous sleeve for the French 12" of Windpower.taken from a video still .
