It’s just occurred to me that they filmed promos for Again and Again, Let Me Fly and Someone Show Me Home at the same time ( made economic sense ) yet the promo for Accident Prone was shot on location .

So, was Accident Prone not originally considered as a potential single originally by the record company , with a change of mind further down the line ?

If only John Eden was still around on the boards , he might know .

Any thoughts ?

I'm not so sure if Someone Show Me Home was filmed in the same studio as the other two. I remember reading somewhere (in a forum) the rumour that all the songs from IYCSTH and WYW were filmed (which, don't make sense, but also...There's the video from Runaway which it was a B-Side and the Who Asked You, that it wasn't a single. The same with Let Me Fly or Someone Show (but that song was released as a single on Spain (or it was the B-Side?) so, who knows).

I think the single was released on purpose. The disco vibe from those days, that song being a disco beat...I think that makes sense.
