Music Video of the Day: Hold On Tight by Electric Light Orchestra (1981, directed by Mike Mansfield)


At the time it was released, this video was the most expensive music video ever filmed.  It was estimated to have cost £40,000, with the majority of the money going to recreating scenes from 1940s serials.

Director Mike Mansfield also did videos for Kim Wilde, Ozzy Osbourne, The Cure, The Moody Blues, and almost every other prominent British band of the early 80s.

Enjoy!
