"Living On Video" Trans-X (1983/1985)


In 1985, techno-rock wasn't born.  But it got one HELL of a makeover.......

Actually, Trans-X originally released this song in 1980 (a whole year before MTV!) It was several remixes later in 1986 when this song finally broke nationally on the US Top 40 charts.

This is the most famous mix (released in 1985 and the original US radio hit version, which was released on Atco in the US.)

The B-Side "Ridin' Horse"


As you can hear, the only other known copy of this record has lots of wear and is barely audible through the record wear and surface noise. The copy sold on eBay is reportedly in pristine condition and the buyer plans to digitally restore the recording.
