When Queen's management moved the band into Shepperton Studios in London, to work on new material they chose to make a promotional film for the American and European markets. And so, on the 9th August the band mimed their way through both 'Keep Yourself Alive' and potential second single 'Liar', for the first time on camera. This performance, however, was a disaster for all concerned, and director Mike Mansfield was discarded to film a new darker lit version. It is this footage, directed by Queen and Barry Sheffield, which features on the 'Greatest Video Hits 1' dvd. The original version of 'Liar' was, however, released on the 'Box Of Flix' double pack vhs in 1991.
