Art of Noise - Close (To The Edit) - Version 2

Had this on 7" single. Played it from 1 side to the other over and over - was and still is awesome!. Can't remember what the B side was though - Anyone remember?

The live action version with the 3 men and the girl that ZTT rejected for being "too violent" is considerably better and much more original in my opinion..

I used to have this in the middle of 'The Yellow Submarine' after the Beatles hid behind cardboard cutouts of frozen people.

This was some time in 1989 and when Paul finished singing 'When I'm Sixty-Four', there was toilet humour.

This was the first vid I saw for the song, so it's always been the one I've liked the most. Really works well, very energetic.

This was directed by Matt Forrest so it seems ZTT don't keep their records in order! Forrest did heaps of other unique animated videos that were ahead of the time - does anyone remember the amazing title sequence for WIRED that he did in the late 80's? Would love to see that again. Think it won a BAFTA.

oh wow, I remember listening to this on radio luxembourg on a tiny little radio under the blankets, cos I was supposed to be sleeping. That brought back some memories
