    The
    promotional film (precursor to the modern
    music video
    ) was produced for the song in late 1966. It was filmed on Little Green Street, a diminutive eighteenth century lane in North London, located off Highgate Road in Kentish Town.
    Little Green Street, location of the "Dead End Street" Music Video.
    The film was shot in
    black and white
    , and featured each member of the band dressed as an undertaker, as well as playing various other characters throughout. With a length of roughly 3:15 in total.
    Dave Davies
    says that the
    BBC
    disliked the film, with the group dressed as Victorian pallbearers and one of their roadies in a nightshirt suddenly leaping out of the coffin as they put it down on the pavement, claiming it was in bad taste.

    The song was recorded at a time when bassist
    Pete Quaife
    had left the band after a scooter accident, and was replaced by
    John Dalton
    . Quaife had returned to the group by the time the promotional film was shot.
