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

Great! Would love to see the original video!

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.

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

[DIAMONDGEEZER64]

[witchman67]

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

[robertjc1966]

One of my all-time favourites - I'd buy it if I knew how to...;)

[PradaWilly]

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.
