Those of you who have been hanging loose here in Lunchmeat Land over the years may already be familiar with the nihilistic no-wave aural entity that is TUFF TURF and their signature brand of incredibly authentic 80s-driven musical pulsations, as we premiered their video for “Out on the Streets” and released their previous album Hunger and Haunt on Limited Edition VHS.

The wide world of video era promotional materials is as vast as it is exciting, Tapeheads. The nostalgic allure of promotional video store ephemera for the avid Tapehead is undeniable, and if you’ve peeked into our Analog-Tising feature in LUNCHMEAT #8, you might already be aware that Vestron Video was arguably at the top of the video era promo game, producing wondrous items like the outstanding sculpted pewter paperweight for the home video release of Re-Animator.     You didn’t think we’d mention it and not show you, did you, Tapeheads?
