Quote from the uploader...

"Camouflage was the first(?) record to come with a computer-based promo video on its b-side. Here it is loading on a real ZX81, playing from a Technics SL1210mk2 turntable and showing on a Sony PVM-9220ME. Cartridges used are Shure M44-7. "

I've been trying to find these programs for years, now there's a source, listed in the comments section.

I'm surprised he was able to load them from an old vinyl record. Very historic programs actually, not just for the ZX81.

That is extremely cool. But I was expecting a song about ‘An awfully strange marine’!

A 1 million dollars program.

Don't share to be wealthy.

Years ago I played around with that program. But it ran faster than the music.
Is it designed for a 50 Hz or a 60 Hz Zeddy?
Maybe the speed was not OK, because I had used a patched rom (for faster BASIC FOR/NEXT) in my Zeddy.
Maybe nowadays, when using a ZX81x2 rom, the turntable must run at 45 rpm, not only 33

Its creator Chris Sievey was English so would have thought 50 HZ.
Sadly he died in 2010 from cancer.

He later became famous as Frank Sidebottom.

Google that name. He’s a legend!
