Cutting Crew are an English rock band formed in London in 1985. They are best remembered for their
debut álbum Broadcast and hit singles, "(I Just) Died in Your Arms",
"I've Been in Love Before",
"One for the Mockingbird", and "Everything But My Pride".
At the end of 2018, Cutting Crew had
announced, through their social networks, they had plans to release a new album
featuring "new songs and new versions of CC classics." Although they
did not have any new releases for 2019, a press release made by January of the
following year announced the release for their second official worldwide
compilation album titled Ransomed Healed Restored Forgiven, featuring nine
songs from their past catalogue reworked as orchestral renditions, as well as
other versions. Soon afterwards, the release date was announced on 27 March
2020 by Van Eede in a short video through the Cutting Crew official Facebook page. On the same day, they released the lead single for this
project, an 8-track digital EP of their signature song "(I Just) Died in Your Arms", which
also received a physical release, as well as a brand new video for the song
uploaded on YouTube. The
album was released on 24 April 2020, through August Day label, on digital
platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music.
But due to logistics limitations during the COVID-19
pandemic, its physical release was delayed until 8
May 2020. Along with its other formats there is a limited box edition
containing 3 different CDs, as well as the physical CD edition of the reworked (I
Just) Died in Your Arms EP, and a postcard signed by Van Eede himself. To
promote the album, Van Eede spoke to several media outlets, such as American
Songwriter and Forbes. This
greatest hits album has since spanned a second single, the orchestral version
of the Broadcast single "One for the Mockingbird". On 5
August 2020, it was announced a vinyl limited edition, with only 300 copies pressed, would be available
for purchase solely through DTC,
making this the first vinyl edition of one of the band's releases since The
Scattering. After Van Eede stated he had planned to do some concerts held in
England in 2021 to support the album, the band announced on 7 September 2020
they will be the opening act for Go West's
upcoming tour in 2021.
Broadcast is the debut studio album by
English rock band Cutting Crew.
It was first released in the United Kingdom on 22 November 1986, and was later
released more widely, including in the United States on 30 July 1987 with
different packaging and four remixed tracks ("Any Colour", "One for the Mockingbird",
"I've Been in Love Before"
and "(I Just) Died in Your Arms"),
all of which were released as singles. It was the first album to be released in
the US by Virgin Records'
new American imprint, Virgin Records America.
Broadcast was re-released by Cherry
Red Records on 24 May 2010, with bonus tracks
including for the first time on CD "For the Longest Time", the B-side of "(I Just) Died In Your Arms"
Don't let love let
you down
It's been fine up to now
Sahara, I just walked into your world
Sahara, don't walk out on me now
Don't let time tie
you down
It's been fine up to now
Sahara, there is life in the desert
Sahara, let the sands run away
But in my heart and
in my head
I know that she'll wait for me
Sahara brings me down
She will take up all your time
Then she'll laugh and cut you down
Do you still hold a light for, for me?
Don't let fires burn
too low
Wild-eyed winds they still blow
Sahara, I just walked into your world
Sahara, don't walk out on me now
But in my heart.
