Filmed by the same Italian girl who did the Sisters Brixton Ace vid.  She seemed to stop the tape between songs a lot (to conserve tape and/or batteries maybe) so it's lucky that the Sisters Brixton vid is as complete as it is.  These two didn't fare so well, 4 songs from the Skeletals and 6 songs from Play dead, but that's all that exists of these performances.

The last 2 Skeletal Family songs flick into b&w occasionally.  The tape hasn't deteriorated, it's been like that since I first got it.
