My Legendary Girlfriend by Pulp (1991)

Promo video for Pulp's song My Legendary Girlfriend, taken from the album Separations. This rarely-seen film was not included on the Hits DVD.

"There were quite a few false starts on this one. First we tried filming something in the room of the East End pub where the great train robbery was planned (don't ask why). Unfortunately we didn't light it enough and so ended up with mostly black film. I then shot some stuff of my girlfriend of the time but then split up with her and became too depressed to use it... hmmm. We were now in a difficult position as I had spent just about all of Fire's massive £200 budget and had nothing to show for it. Unchained Melody was at number one at the time and I liked the way it used one performance of the song filmed from various angles as the video. So we decided to try and do something similar in the photo studio at St Martin's. We blew the rest of the budget on a star-cloth background and I ended up having to make Nick a drum kit out of cardboard because we couldn't afford to bring the real one down. Luckily, it worked." - Jarvis Cocker.

@PeepingTomGirl6 No problem! I just wish I had a better quality version like I do of They Suffocate At Night. Nice to see the Manon video surfaced recently. I wish the other early videos such as Death Goes To The Disco would show up.
