I now remember I was distinctly unhappy that Plant didn't make a video for "Your Ma Said You Cried in Your Sleep Last Night" and that "Tie Dye on the Highway" was a live version that's far worse than the good studio track (including harmonica). Totally missed chances to promote the singles to the public (although neither would ever have been a big hit). The album wasn't promoted properly, which might have sped the decline in in Robert Plant's solo career.

Thank you!
I haven't thought very much before about the promotion decisions that can affect someone's career. Plant certainly looks popular here singing
"Tie Dye on the Highway," and so it is interesting to learn what may have hastened the fall of his popularity:

I'm also realizing that Robert Plant made quite a few fairly complex videos incorporating grand scenery, which probably reflects the height of his fame at one time.
For example, I thought it was a cool surprise to see that the video for
"I Believe" recreates the scene from Millais' painting of Ophelia. I am curious if you had noticed that when watching the video? I know you are very attentive to the videos that accompany songs, and so I thought you might like to know, in case you didn't, that they made this artistic reference:
