Talk:Close (to the Edit)

Multiple videos

I note my reference to the animated version of the video has been tagged as needing a citation. Unfortunately, the only evidence I can offer is YouTube (which can't be cited) and my own memory (ditto), but it definitely exists and was around in 1984. Hopefully someone else can find a proper cite which also states who made it and when! Dave-ros 12:25, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

I've uploaded a link to ZTT Records' own page on YouTube, which contains these videos. I don't care if "YouTube can not be cited", if people won't accept links to the videos as proof they exist, that's hardly anyone's problem bar their own. ;)

Also, I just noticed I never completed my Edit Summary for my edit of that page. Apologies! Korinkami 18:12, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

The animated version was directed by Matt Forrest at Big Features Ltd and was edited by Nick Robson. This is cited in the book 'European Illustration 1986-87" where stills from the video also appear, along with credits for the animators and technicians involved on the production. The animated version was aired in the UK Goldfish2 14:37, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

(I mucked up your form, that's why citation was deleted, but I'm trying to get it back so that I can input the citation info - i.e. book publisher, ISBN etc.. please help!) Goldfish2 14:45, 31 August 2007 (UTC) Now I've got the book citation details in, nothing after it is showing - can you fix so that the text after book citation appears again, as it's still there in edit mode?

Lyrics

I am interested in what the Lyrics are and where they are derived from. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.9.69.203 (talk) 15:49, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

"To be in England, In the summer, With my love, Close to the edit". Just random poetic phrases really, but the first is from Robert Browning's Home Thoughts from Abroad. --88.110.69.194 (talk) 15:23, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Tracklisting

I'm not at all sure that this tracklisting is, ahem, "close to being compiled". There are more vinyl versions out there - I have at least one alternative version, including one that features "Closely Closely (Enough's Enough)" with the full "Moments In Love" on the B-side. I'll check and get back to you. Those zany fellers at ZTT I'm sure put out several remixes with several different B-sides in random combinations, but all within identical maroon picture-sleeves.

2017

Given Trevor Horn produced and Gary Langan engineered and JJ programmed the keyboards for 90125 are we sure they sampled the tracks or did they just reuse the same source material. Anne is the only member not credited. -- 23:07, 12 October 2017‎ 80.6.99.67

• You have a point there. I think it would be more accurate to say that it reused samples featured on 90125. It may also have reused samples first used on Duck Rock. I know the Who's Afraid.. album did, I'm just not sure which track(s). --Walnuts go kapow (talk) 09:13, 19 October 2017 (UTC)

there's a bunch of stuff in Trevor Horn's book about this, though I find some of it muddies the waters rather than clearing up details that might have actionable consequences.... he drops hints that the contents of the various samplers (his original fairlight & its successors), driven by TH himself, Steve Lipson, JJ Jeczalik, Ann Dudley & others may have had stuff in them going back as far as "owner", "relax", "duck rock" & elsewhere. in fact, I'm here writing this after just reading that "close (to the edit)"'s distinctive "dum dum" vocal part is samples of chris squire... yeah, me too.

Paul Morley is so utterly full of shit sometimes

Let us take a gander at most of the work directed by Zbigniew Rybczynski. Yeah, I'm sure Huey Lewis and The News was exactly who was on his mind. Paul's just peeved that the video was more entertaining than any of his sleeve notes. 2601:484:8003:9410:7C89:7208:5128:1F5 (talk) 20:53, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
