"Music on the Edge," by the all-star fusion group Chroma (originally called CTI Superband during the Japanese tour), was filmed and recorded live in concert in Tokyo's Gotanda U-Port Kan-Hoken Hall on October 25 & 26, 1990, and filmed with 4 Panafloex Gold 35mm cameras. The audio signals were recorded by location recording engineer Phil Magnotti on a Mitsubishi X-880 32-track digital machine. The source master used for the program was the Sony D-1 format, a digital audio & video signal source. This LaserDisc was mastered at the sampling rate of 44.1 khz, which conforms to the CD sampling rate and is encoded with CLV.
