not seen this before - thanks for sharing. MES really was one-off; genuinely chuffed to have seen the fall and to have such a quality body of work to continue to explore.

Wow, mark actually looks like he's had a decent nights sleep here!

[@halloweenjack8683]

Great looking Brix !

I haven't seen this in probably 35 years, but I can still recite this segment verbatim. It's on a Betamax at my childhood home. Ha!

[@YOURTECHFRIEND]

Brilliant!

[@laszlozoltan5021]

a glimpse of happier times, a reminder for us all that things change, from good to bad, from bad to good.

LOVE Mark E & The Fall!! So glad this is preserved here, thanks so much for the #Upload🔥😘❤️♾️🕉️🖖🥰

[@marcopervo]

Thanks for uploading this hard to find gem. I've been looking for it for several years. I remember taping this episode and replaying it on my VCR until finding the "Wonderful and Frightening World of..." at Sound Warehouse a few months later. This was from the Spring of 85'.

I'm glad this particular clip means something to others, too. All these decades later, this interview and others from the Cutting Edge have had a huge stylistic influence on my own video clips.

[@joelrizzo2786]

Cool a Fall clip I hadn't previously seen. Thanks!

[@mikewilson3581]

Mark was a good looking guy until the mid nineties. Then the booze, speed, and cigarettes caught up with him.

[@smeringtonweeps2717]

very cool footage, Mark seems quite chipper in this

Smerington Weeps He's in love; a year married to Brix.

[@Dana-kb5mk]

[@samajax]

Somehow, the sound is gone?

[@JMarinelli]

This and "Bingo Master's Breakout" from the Burning Ambitions compilation was my introduction to the force of nature known as the Fall.

1:15 - 1:31 is a very beautiful moment.

[@costas2by4]

Thanks for that Shawn

[@b-sidehnl1296]

Sorry about the low audio. Just noticed that. Not sure why or how that happened, exactly.

Where is Steve?

[@driftwoodpictures]

Greetings, you don't happen to have the Cutting Edge episode featuring Steel Pulse from 1984? Bless! :)

[@b-sidehnl1296]

I don't, but I wish I did because it sounds awesome!!!

[@tlysergicaciddiethylamide5792]

[@brianwilson49]

steve hanley was on paternal leave.

[@theinquirer3517]

It's Simon Rogers.

[@JohnnyF71]

Bet the drummer got a strip or two torn off him by MES for that rockstar stick pointing move at the end 😂

[@PeterSokol-bl5vz]
