Notes

We believe this is Robyn's first MTV appearance (Air date April 3, taping/performance dates unknown). The videos for Raymond Chandler Evening and Balloon Man are shown, Robyn is interviewed several times and the Egyptians perform two songs. Tremendous thanks to Lobster Time for unearthing and archiving the video footage (see below).
