[6] The accompanying video was directed by Jim Yukich, whose credits included Iron Maiden, Genesis, Jeff Beck, and David Bowie. The director described the video “like a dream in the life," combining conceptual and performance footage, and revolves around the marketing of a rock star." It was filmed at Carthay Studios and the Electrasound Warehouse near Los Angeles. Tammara Wells produced. [7] The album debuted on the Billboard 200 Album chart, the week ending November 2, 1985, and was on the charts for a total of 12 weeks, peaking at No. 143. [8]
