Here it is in FLAC, I'll try to upload to Mega tomorrow if nobody beats me to it, but I am too tired to create an account right now.

Thank, that's actually what they were going to use for Pop at one point so I was like "Hmm, that works for me"

I was considering messing with the color scheme, which I might do some other time

AM I right that the only legit Hong Kong demos were only approx 30-60 secs in length, and that anything floating out there longer (4-6mins each) called Novelty Act are purely fan edits?

This was a promo video made by Island Records, not sure if it can get any more "legit":

Richie Smyth: Early days on the Pop album Paul needed a piece to show the record company what was coming down the line. i shot the band recording and mixed it with B-Movie footage. Howie B came in as vibe master and Flood and Nellee gave me very early mixes to work with. The last footage from Cuba was shot by the late great Donal Gilligan.
i shot on super 16mm and Super 8mm over 2 days.

Same here.

The beggining (Bono dubbing the Orgy Of The Dead movie) was reutilised for the Pop EPK, at the very beggining of it, and then months later for the A Year In Pop documentary, right after the Miss Sarajevo part. I love it! Bono's smile after "Something's making that music" is so Macphisto-ish

Yes. As far as I know (and I'd love to be wrong ) there's only that 6 min vid that's everywhere on YT. The mix I posted was the Mofo '96 bit partially integrated in the final version so everything above those 30-60 secs length bits is a fan-edit.

Oh, and the DYFL bit is just that Alien Fun Groove sample with Bono mumbling over it, so that's not even U2 really
