Promo Video(s) Details:

There was no promo video for Hymn Of The Big Wheel ever filmed.

Additional Notes:

Originally, there had been plans to film a video for Hymn Of The Big Wheel in Jamaica (Horace Andy’s home ground), in order to promote the release of the Massive Attack E.P. A set and film crew were arranged to film the video along with Massive Attack being present on location in Jamaica, but one thing led to another and the video was only half filmed and then ultimately discarded. Instead, Massive Attack would return to London, UK and film a new video for Be Thankful For What You’ve Got, which then went on to promote the newly-released Massive Attack E.P. The exact nature of what the abandoned video for Hymn Of The Big Wheel would have looked liked is still unknown.

Quotes:

Mushroom on the the abandoned video for Hymn Of The Big Wheel - “We went out there [Jamacia] to shoot the video for Hymn Of The Big Wheel, but it never got finished because I think everyone had too much to smoke. It just turned into a mad free-for-all out there. You’re in Jamaica and the director was heavily into that whole culture. So having to get a big group of people from A to B turned into a bit of a nightmare. Like trying to set up a video shoot in Escapeland.” [Dazed And Confused Magazine - February 1998]
