Eno's "China My China"

Here's a recently surfaced promo video for "China My China" from Eno's 1974 LP 'Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy).' Appearing as Brian's "band" are Judy Nylon and Polly Eltes (Polly appeared on the album as guest vocalist on "Mother Whale Eyeless"). Thanks Matt Laferty!

This video has actually been floating around the net for a few years. It is not "recently" discovered.

Hair-splitting aside, a few years could be considered "recently" for a clip from 1974.

From On Some Faraway Beach: The Life and Times of Brian Eno by David Sheppard: "...Island Records continued to promote him as a rock star package, even agreeing to finance a (then rare) promotional video based on an idea by, and co-starring Judy Nylon. She would recall it fondly in a 2001 interview with 3am magazine: 'Somewhere in the vaults at Island, there is an early seventies video of me and Polly Eltes performing my guitar Kama Sutra, edited to the typewriter sound on Taking Tiger Mountain, then played back on a pyramid of old TV sets with Eno in a beret standing in front singing his vocal. This was pre-MTV. I would love to see it again; it must be hilarious.'

Those of us who aren't as cool as "radiocitizen" are delighted by this recent re-discovery. Thanks!
