Cut (Golden Earring album)
Cut is the sixteenth studio album by Dutch hard rock band Golden Earring, released in 1982. The album spawned the hit song "Twilight Zone," which reached No. 1 in the Netherlands and No. 1 in the United States on Billboards Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks
The album's cover image is the 1964 photo Cutting the Card Quickly taken by M.I.T. Professor "Doc" Edgerton showing the jack of diamonds playing card being shredded by a bullet. The image is recreated repeatedly in the music video of "Twilight Zone" in which the card represents the life of the rogue espionage agent.
