Hi folks, seems this is the Aussie thread. 
I've never invested in the Elements video, I've been waiting (and waiting, and waiting!) to see if Virgin are going to give it a DVD release. No sign of that yet as far as I can see.
I have NEVER seen it for sale here in Sydney, so if that Perth shop has got it they're doing very well indeed. A $50 pricetag suggests that it's a UK import. That being the case, Tim, I know that Blackstar Video of Belfast have it in stock and and can probably have it to your door within ten days of your online order. At the current exchange rate they'd probably do it for about $39 of our money including delivery.
http://www.blackstar.co.uk/scp/id/crashtig/video/item/7000000027732 should take you right to it.
As for local screenings of the videos, I remember certain Mike Oldfield videos, official and otherwise, being very popular on ABC-TV in the late 70s and early 80s, but no longer as you say. The video for Portsmouth got a good run from time to time, usually used as a filler between a 6.30pm show and the news. Same was true of the clip for William Tell Overture, and a strange but wonderful clip for the single-length "Excerpt from Incantations IV" which the ABC seemed to have re-edited from footage in The Space Movie, the1979 film marking ten years since the moon landing which Mike provided the music for...they even deigned to show the clip for Moonlight Shadow once or twice when it was new!
The Space Movie is now deleted, I believe, but, um, well, I have a copy...
