Vitamin Z Burning Flame (Version 2) video

Okay, so it ran again today on VH1 Classic. I’ve fired off my letter to requests for VH1C asking for them to please play any other Vitamin Z videos they have...

Burning Flame (there was also a test video, and one that was rejected before the final one (Version 2) was chosen)
Circus Ring
Everytime That I See You
Hi Hi Friend
Burn For You
Can’t Live Without You

That’s five other videos they could be running.

Now, if I could find a copy of the following Vitamin Z MP3s, all from the CD “Sharp Stone Rain”...I’d be a /very/ happy man. Hell, you could see my cry like a baby for an acutal copy of the CD. Not a CD-R...but the *real* CD.

2: Don’t Wait For Me
5: How Far To Queensland?
6: Save Me THANK YOU! to
8: Everchanging Heart
9: Can’t Stop the Rivers

There was a third CD produced that included the demos of what would have been the third CD...the first song on my CD is damaged and the mp3 has been lost. I would like to find it without having to spend the $15 to get a new CD.

Now the real scavanger hunt begins...I’d be willing to figure out a way to pay someone for the following B-side tracks from Sharp Stone Rain...

RUN FOR OUR LIVES. (4:17) (included on Mercury release of “Sharp Stone Rain”)
YOU. (4:36) (extra track on “Burn For You” cd single)
SO FAR. (4:36) ( extra track on “Burn For You” cd single)
BETTER LIFE . (3:57) (extra track on “Can’t Live Without You” cd single)


Now, if I’ve not wet your appetite for Vitamin Z enough...

I also threw in my request for Psuedoecho (Yes, I /know/ it’s Pseudoecho) Listening. MTV in the day had it mis-chyroned as Psuedoecho...great song...should get played...it’s been how many years of VH1C and they’ve *never* played it. (Trust me, there are people on the VH1C Forums who track every song that’s been played.

*ANY* Thinkman would be greatly appreciated. I have a taped copy of the video for “Best Adventures (US Version)” from VH1C, but the entire CD had videos for every song. It was a concept CD that Rupert Hine hatched...and a damned good one too. I’ve thought about trying to write the “story” that the songs tell...but I have a feeling I’d have three books...one for each of the three Thinkman CD’s.

There were so many great groups of the 80s who just quietly disappeared after one or two songs...but I think that’s another post for another day... I’ll show my age then ;)
