The official Cherry Red blurb. . .
Featuring 52 tracks over 3CDs, this box set contains the three studio albums Cutting Crew
recorded between 1986 and 1992, the Grammy nominated debut, 'Broadcast' (1986), acclaimed
follow up, 'The Scattering' (1989), and the ripe for rediscovery, 'Compus Mentus' (1992), plus
B sides, remixes and demos.
It's been Cutting Crew’s fate to be primarily remembered for their enormous, multi- million
selling international hit, '(I Just) Died In Your Arms', and that's here in two versions, but
this box set shows that there's much more to the band, whose driving pop- rock is defined by
strong song writing, Nick Van Eede's soulful vocals and Kevin MacMichael's lead guitar.
The USA took Cutting Crew to their hearts and '(I Just) Died In Your Arms' topped the
Billboard chart, 'I've Been In Love Before' reached #9 and the album 'Broadcast' peaked at
#16, going gold. In the UK '(I Just) Died In Your Arms' was a #4 smash hit.
All four singles from 'Broadcast' are also presented as extended remixes originally issued on
12" singles including the much loved 12" mix of '(I Just) Died In Your Arms' and Arthur
Baker's remix and dub of 'Any Colour'.
Cutting Crew frontman Nick Van Eede has opened his archives to contribute five demos to the
set, including two previously unreleased - 'Open Up Your Window' and a cover of Simon Dupree
And The Big Sound's 'Kites'.
Van Eede, who still leads Cutting Crew today, has been newly interviewed for the box set
booklet.
Ripper's Notes:
More Cutting Crew than anyone really needs. But, damn, 'Broadcast' is a masterpiece, and 'The
Scattering' has a few exceptional tracks.
