As people have time on their hands, here's an archive that will have something for everyone.
I haven't started digging through it all and it's being added to all the time - so will need effort to find any potential unearthed Moz/Smiths bits that may have featured. Especially when the project grows in to the early 90's (there is content up to '91 currently):
"Hundreds of Hours Worth of 1980s-Era MTV Programming Uploaded Online
Video countdowns, Headbanger's Ball, 120 Minutes, and more... all in their original VHS glory"
Described by the uploaded as:
"'80s MTV VHS Recordings 1981 to 1989 Collection
This is my personal collection of 80's MTV VHS recordings. I've been collecting recordings of full, unedited, WITH commercials & especially the VJs for years. I've found these videos from old websites, torrent sites, sharing things, The Original MTV VJs facebook page, and of course the Archive. A lot comes from great folks like CosmicWheelz and others!"
*You will need an archive.org account (simple to do) in order to view the videos*
