I contacted maker of this, Robert Wallace couple of years ago. You can
find his Vimeo

I asked him about that video:

" I was a film editor at the time and had cut 'Grim up North' which was
also directed by Bill Butt. Bill Drummond wanted a record of the
Pinewood videos, I think the budget was ?250K for both, (big budget by
today's standards) I remember B telling me they wanted to burn the
longship but in the end used SPX gas so they didn't upset the Viking
Society. They gave me free rein to make the film which was a lot of fun
especially interviewing Tammy Wynette -unfortunately they disbanded
before releasing the doc and as far as I know it was never shown. I
found one of the Flying V guitars on the floor of the studio after the
after shoot party and brought it in to the transfer and gave it to
Jimmy. He later remarked that as he walked up Wardour st carrying the
guitar passers by were thinking he thought he looked like a rock star
and of course he was, had a top 10 hit. After finishing those videos, a
very busy schedule, which also included studio recording with a metal
band that cost I think ?150K and never released, they announced that
they were taking a break, I loved their attitude to the business and to
money, literally burning it. I was sorry not to finish the film, thanks
for your message, all best Rob."
