The Manager, a video shot by Bill Butt which was a rant about the state of the music industry. In it he demands musicians not to spend any more than then days recording their LPs, and the abolishment of advances as ‘no really great music has ever come from a band that’s got themselves a big advance.’

Furthermore Bill suggests to become ‘the manager of the complete music thing’, inviting everybody to write him for his advice and personal guidance for a mere one hundred pounds enclosed as a cheque.
"Before the record had even been released, I’d received a couple of cheques. I can’t say who they’re from but I’ve got £200, so the video’s more or less paid for." - Bill Drummond (Sounds, 1987)

However, Bill did not follow through with his offer, in turn following advice from his own manager.
As soon as I’d finished ‘The Manager’, "my manager said, Don’t do it – don’t try and attempt what I was setting myself up as on the record. He said I should stop telling other people what they should do and just do what I want." - Bill Drummond (Sounds, 1987)
