It also has a small clip of Thomas being interviewd in his kitchen ?? dont know where i got that from. The Silk pyjamas video was set in Cuba - & at one point has Thomas being pushed around a town on a trolley whilst wearing what appears to be a wetsuit & goggles ??? Lovely summery tune that one - thought it would have been more successful when released - but as per usual not much airplay. About time the Golden Age of Video was rereleased including these later tracks.
