Prince - Sexuality (Remastered)



"Sexuality" is the second track on Prince's 1981 album, Controversy. The song was also released as a single in Germany, Japan and Australia.


"Sexuality" is a fast-paced track, built around a synth bass line and drum machines. Much like "Controversy", a funky rhythm guitar is used throughout the song with brief stabs of rock thrown in. Similar to the song "Uptown", Prince describes a society free from prejudice as a "New Breed". The political number also takes jabs at tourists and the sensationalism of television.


This rare clip was provided to us & audio remastered by Shane formerly of YouTube’s “80sWOW” & now KlassikClips". Thanks for sharing & hopefully now other Prince fans will able to enjoy as well :-)

R.E.M. – Pop Song 89 (Uncensored)


"Pop Song 89" was the third single released from R.E.M.'s sixth studio album Green. It peaked at #86 on the Hot 100, and in the UK Stand was re-released instead.


In the music video, MTV asked lead singer Michael Stipe, who directed it himself, to censor the three topless women with whom he was dancing in the video. Instead, Stipe superimposed black bars on the chests of all four dancers, himself included, and stated, "a nipple is a nipple."


This rare uncensored version of the clip does not feature on any official DVD release & has been rejected &/or deleted by various websites because of two issues; Firstly the band is contracted by Warner Bros. & secondly the material is considered to contain offensive material (mmm... four topless people dancing offensive? Gee wiz I see violence & nudity ten times worse on the daily prime time news lol!).

Phil Collins – In The Air Tonight (Album Version)




"In the Air Tonight" is a song by Phil Collins which first appeared on his 1981 album, Face Value. It was the first single of Collins' solo career, and remains one of his best known hits.


This unique & rare version of the video contains the exact audio stream as it appeared on the original album. The original video clip however, contained a different audio version which featured the famous Phil Collins “echoing” snare drums playing at low volume from virtually the beginning of the clip until the drumming crescendo.

Foreigner – That Was Yesterday (Album Version)




“That Was Yesterday” is a song by American/British rock band Foreigner. It was the second single released off their excellent 1984 album Agent Provocateur.


The original video was shot as a semi-live concept with constant crowd noise bellowing in the background throughout. However, this VCRS edited version contains the (crowd filtered) original album/single version audio stream. Making it (well to this fan at least) a much more enjoyable viewing, coupled with that it has a modernised feel & appearance due to the remastered picture & sound. Even with all the work and promotional effort that went into re-producing this clip it was still rejected by the bands record label “Atlantic” (a subsidiary of WMG) for uploading by YouTube, MySpace, and Dailymotion!
