![]() Interesting that future superstars UB40 never made any of the soundtrack releases. What artists and songs were cut for the soundtrack from the film? The home video version is 124 minutes long. Interestingly enough, there is more music on video/film than even on the 2xLP, which is limited to around 90 minutes of running time. The Go-Gos would break by the time the film was in the theaters, and D E V O had just come off of a gold selling album with their only hit single, “Whip It.” The only other chart veteran here was Gary Numan, who also hit the US top ten with “Cars” the previous year. Miles Copeland had filmed three songs by each of the bands here, but only The Police had all three of their songs released in the film, since they were the only band here who had hit platinum status at the time of release. When I played it in my SlHF-2100, there were only two dropouts, ironically both during a Police number. I bought it from a ßeta dealer about a decade ago and I have to say that the tape stayed in excellent shape over the years. I own a ßeta copy of this video, as shown in the photo above.

But most of what passed the editing process were bands that were clearly successful New Wave bands with real followings. So bands that added some breadth to the original film/album, like Toyah Willcox or The Members were scrapped while more obscure fringe acts like Klaus Nomi or Skafish survived. Bands that were signed to A+M/IRS seemed to have been spared the knife, probably due to rights issues. For some reason, the soldier on the cover has been removed as well. Right off the 36 song performances of the movie/2xLP were trimmed for the CD, issued in 1988 and now an OOP disc commanding three figures.
