I'd also think that the Everything Must Go video might have cost a bit. Perhaps it was the alternate Autumn Song video....

I think videos probably cost more in the 90s because it seemed important to have an expensive video and probably they were more difficult to make then. I don't think the Manics needed to spend so much, even though they are superb. As well as EMG I think GATS videos could also be included in what James was saying though they're not an obvious story and also the KYE videos including Ocean Spray, SWSS, FTS, I think are actually brilliant from the time.
