CUTTING CREW – Mixes + Extended + Live (2022)

Formed in 1985, British combo CUTTING CREW was quickly sign by Virgin Records releasing their debut album ‘Broadcast’ in 1986. Although Virgin was already a major label in the UK, CUTTING CREW first single “(I Just) Died in Your Arms” provided the first US hit for Virgin as a full-fledged label. This song release quickly helped the band gain popularity.

Virgin flew the band to New York City for initial recordings of the album, then to Australia to shoot music videos. The unknown band shot to No. 1 in the major US market, as well as smaller markets such as Canada and Norway, with their debut single. Their most popular single was a multiformat success in the US, where it also reached number four on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, No. 24 on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart and — in an extended remix version — No. 37 on the Hot Dance/Club Play chart.
CUTTING CREW’s scored more hits from ‘Broadcast’, also from the follow up CD ‘The Scattering’.
Mixes + Extended + Live“, as its title implies, features previously hard to find single versions, single mixes, extended, and live takes of their band’s most successful songs, a pure delight for ’80s music aficionados.
