Thought someone else might have got there first, but they haven't, so I took it upon myself to upload the promo vid for Manon from the Beat Is The Law DVD for those who haven't seen it. Enjoy! :)

After watching that, ive just ordered my dvd - its a pretty dull video affair however it is another live version of Manon - and yes you mentioned about the potenial overdub and this could be correct. The video although not the greatest the world has ever seen does have its charm with Jarvis's facial expressions and Russell's look of stone..... I enjoyed it !

Thanks Leo. Keep meaning to buy the DVD.
Nothing terribly exciting but fascinating all the same seeing as close to feck-all footage of Pulp from the 80s exists.
When Magnus appears in the background I thought he was going to be gradually followed by Manners and Candida, and thus the 5 piece would fill the screen from left to right led by Jarvis.
Russell is resplendent as usual.

Are there still no clues as to why a video was made for this particular song?

Wasn't it released on the Master of the Universe single? MOTU would have been a stronger choice, in my opinion.

I suppose with the ending French vocal on Manon, Pulp hoped they could possibly appeal to a broader audience- hence the video.

Yet, I feel that it was too dismal a song to release commercially through video. It should have just been left as a b-side, nothing more.

Or better, what if they made a video for Silence? no

The Pulp Scrapbook says there were two videos for Manon shot at the same time from different angles - I wonder if the other one has Manners and Candida?

On the other hand, do they even play on this song? I'm not sure I can hear any keyboards or bass.
