I originally intended to use this super8 footage of the girls running around doing everyday things in London in ballgowns throughout the "A-side" version of this video (the posh one with the white background). But it just didn't work.
So (with the band's support and approval) I made a radio edit of the "Millionaire" track, losing the bridge and 2nd chorus, and cut the now homeless super8 footage to that. It's nothing fancy, but has a certain sweet nostalgia to it. This isn't getting an official release (frankly, it's not professional quality) but the band were keen to have it as a little thing to put on Youtube.
Smooth. Takes me back to an era that I'm not old enough to ever have lived in, but I still somehow miss.
