The tainted love video can be found on Wax Trax Black Box Video (not sure 
right now which tape it was, 1 or 2.) A video for another, more ambient Coil 
tune, Windowpaine, can be found on the other tape. I don't own any Coil 
releases, but have also heard that they're not easy to find. Foetus is also 
very much worth checking out, and at least one of their videos can also be 
found on Black Box Video.
