Awesome, thanks for sharing! I have the 'Fracture in Time' cassette, and recognise these as extended versions of "Gurued Up" and "Don't B Afraid". Great band and I wished them much Success (heh!) when they changed directions. I sent them fanmail once and they replied with a handwritten letter,...

Rack-cat. Chest-warmer. A trick the kitten couldn't do if you were a B-cup. As good an excuse as any to put one's chest on YouTube. :)

Thank you for showing the making of this art. I took photos of this at the Old Elks while it was up for posterity too. :-D MAKE BIG PLANS

You now have a million and one reasons to be here, to make a difference. Make that a million and two: to prove the people who tear you down that they are wrong, they are weak, they are insecure, they are the problem and not the solution. I'm happy to hear you're doing better; once you get out ...

Another American saying this is an incredible band, an incredible song, and a seriously amazing video... That'll teach Morten to get with Mags' girl. :-P Newer a-ha doesn't get airplay in the US so most of us don't know they've produced more then 3 singles back in the 80s. Could we hold it dow...

I love the "so *this* is show business?" attempting-patience look on Eddie's face.

This sooo went over the heads of 99% of the audience... Nice encapsulation of "Il Pleure" and "Holy Egoism" into the presentation.

I have this tune on "Goodyear Presents: The Best of the Greatest Songs of Christmas, volume 10". Funny that I'd never heard it before, yet half an hour later I came across Perry Como's version on True Value Hardware's yearly compilation volume 23 as well.

@frankenangel - Thank you for your reply, accusing me of being a know-it-all and implying that YOU know it all. Quite YouTube of you. ;-) However, this is the early version as found on the It's Called A Heart 12" and Catching Up With that came out before Black Celeb, and as an assignment to prove...

One of the greatest songs about spankin' it ever, and Don Was on bass. But why's the volume so low?

Who knew Fletch could play the upright bass?

I don't know if'd call that EBM. It reminds me of one of those Hypnotic label electronica 80's tribute albums. Know your genres, EBM had real voices.

Is this from that episode of the Batman TV show? (Yes, they did make an appearance on it, their voices were stolen. I just haven't seen it in 30+ years...)

@mr300ism - What I said earlier applies to you too, "Don't you have other things to do beside harass commenters on this video? Please do not respond to my comments in the future." Please find something else to do.

I have this model. I've never opened mine up like this... yours is much cleaner than mine. :)

Hey Kids, do you know what a rotary phone is? nope nope nope nope nope nope ...

I watched this live when it was broadcast. My jaw dropped at how straight he was singing this, and then he got to the spoken part and redeemed himself. :-P

"Try walking in my shoes... SEE WHAT I MEAN, EVERYONE?!"

So much a sound-alike that on the P2P music sharing systems years ago songs by Red Flag would show up with "Depeche Mode" listed as the artist. That was annoying. :-D A friend gave me the 12" version of this off her vinyl... very nice.

The roller switch in the lower left corner: It's not clear in your video but I'm presuming it's a ribbon position switch -- that model can use both black and black/red ribbons (two ribbons in one, black on top and red below), so with a flick of the switch you can go between the two colors. But ...

@Eightiescandy: Gah, you too? That's when it was on the charts for me, too. I always thought the line was "Let me smell the morning, your perfume." :) Excellent to see this vid, the song has been in stuck in my head for thirty years and I never knew the name or artist.

Been a big fan of Fisk for years... second song from the '448 Deathless Days' album. I wonder if there's a video for "Ghosts & Shadows"? :)
