Notes

Compilation of two anthologies previously released by [l48496] on VHS. Consists mostly of interviews mixed with music, with a handful of uncut songs or spoken word segments Back sleeve copy: THE CUTTING EDGE first aired in 1983 on MTV providing viewers with a rare opportunity to intimately voyage the sounds, thoughts, work spaces and living quarters of the most interesting new artists on the "cutting edge" of rock 'n roll. Host Peter Zaremba (of the fabulous Fleshtones) added levity with his self-effacing wit and lifelong love of music and musicians. Captured in this collection are the absolute highlights, and selected rare moments from this highly acclaimed show.
