Lot of those 16mm Brit Vids got drowned out pretty soon by the Major labels realizing MTV was a thing, and starting to give big bucks to Michael Jackson.
I was a PA on a Video for some local jazz/session player/zappa geeks thinking content hungry MTV would lap their video up when the majors announced their big plans in Billboard, which I relayed in a meeting, maybe you ought to enter it in the MTV Video contest instead. They did. They won.
