Got the original 12" vinyl of this and have been looking for the original video - I'm assuming there was one (maybve shown on Snub TV or similar...) ?
I only had this fragment until now - culled from an old mixtape I dug up from the past. But all you ever wanted to hear from THE MOTORCYCLE BOY and THE SHOP ASSISTANTS - and never had the chance to find in dodgy record stores - it´s now available at the great 17seconds blogspot. Both versions of Big Rock Candy Mountain and much more. I only wish someone could track down Alex Taylor to clear the rights for an overdue re-release of the whole Motorcycle Boy and Shop Assistants recordings.
O.K Suspiriota!! I downloaded most of them already! Very nice work you did, I forgot to write.. I just wanted to hear the last lyrics of the song.. I have the original clip,but its in an old VHS tape from Pulse Beat, MTV - thanx anyway!!

I bought this on a trip to London in the 80s. Love it - might have to dig the old vinyl out now ...

Once again, I must thank the old station WLIR, for being the only one to play this song.

I've got the Big Rock Candy Mountain video on tape somewhere. I'll have to get it transferred to DVD and uploaded sometime.

When i first saw the video on TV, I went to get the 12" straight afterward.
I'm great to hear that someone will upload it.
Also, where can i find this on CD?
It's great to know that someone like this song, 'cos none of my friends heard this song.
