Never seen THIS before!

It was one of the first videos on MTV when it launched in 1981.

Reading the comments underneath the video is interesting - most seem to be from Americans who remember watching it in the early days of MTV or were clearly part of the L.A. Venice Beach crowd in the late '70s and look back to that time with great affection. I don't think there is a single bad comment, most is high praise indeed. There is a shorter version of the video but I like the opening to this one better.
I've just ordered Run For Your Life and the first album on CD on the strength of hearing this again. I'll admit to having RFYL and Three's a Crowd in the early 80s on LP, but they are long gone. I had forgotten how good Tarney and Spencer were... that opening guitar sound is one of the best, most haunting guitar sounds I have ever heard.
