Thanks very much to Mushroom records, who did in fact get all of their money back.

It's a little known recording trick not many cameramen (or women!) learn nowadays, but back then they would practice balancing the camera on their heads, because of the terribly long days a cameraman (or woman!) would face they tended to consume a lot of caffeine which would make their hands shake, balancing the camera on your head counteracts the shakes much more efficiently due to the neck being central to the body mass of a cameraman (or woman!).
