This is the first official video released by Cardiacs.

The video contains a ten-minute segment known as The Consultant's Flower Garden, which features the band and other people connected to the band performing several bizarre alternative comedy sketches. This is followed by three music videos.

The video could be found in the very small number of "Seaside bags" that were sold at concerts which also contained the Seaside Treats 12", the Cardiacs book, a poster, a badge and a stick of Cardiacs seaside rock. It was also on general sale for a time.

The video was released three times, but is now long deleted. It is very rare and is highly sought after.
