Lost TOTP Compilation Videos

Amazing images. Apart from the Pan's People routines, I'm most excited by the Prelude and Albert Hammond performances. Still trying to find the dates these shows are from so this post is far from finished.

I think the second (extended) compilation starts and ends with clips from 10th January 1974. I hope you're paying close attention to the sets, Jez!

In order of appearance:

(32) The New Seekers - You Won't Find Another Fool Like Me (10th January 1974) 

21. K.C. & the Sunshine Band should say 'danced to by Pans People'.

Just added those details. Thanks very much. Too long on one post again, as followers of the Lift Off threads will know!

Seven Seas of Rhye is only showing up as 21st February 1974 in my Google searches, yet the compilations have two different performances. I've been trying to find out more from Popscene but it seems you have to be a member to look at their Forum now. 

Chris Perry from Kaleidoscope has commented on this 'compilation' on missing-episodes.com this morning. Please feel free to read before making any inquiries with webuda.com. Obviously rare archive loses its value once in the public domain so I can understand why this website is out to make a profit. I still feel optimistic however that there are other people (pro & amateur) out there with pre-archived TOTP who are still not aware of the fact it is 'missing' (John Henshall included) so it's the appeal that needs to be LOUD & audible to prevent these subsequent 'ransom' demands on lost archive.

Hi cornershop ,i thought you would be pleased when you saw the clip of prelude ,as i remember us once discussing this performance ,i would say that you have got most of the dates spot on ,but judging the totp scenery ,i would think the lulu clip of man who sold the world comes from 7/2/74 edition ,and na na na by cozy powell is from 20/9/74 totp ,and i think roger daltery only made one apperance singing thinking ,and that was as you say sept 73 ,the date was the 20th

Hi Suefan, Have you read Chris Perry's comments? If you think there is no catch then please feel free to make an offer.

A follow-up to the previous compilation, from the same period:

Another Collection of Top of the Pops Clips

Based on Popscene's information of surviving performances, I think I might have most of the transmission dates but have also considered repeats (e.g. Family's appearance shown again two weeks later).

1 Brief extract of opening titles (Christmas Day 1969); 2 - Jimmy Savile introducing an unknown act (maybe The Scaffold on the same show?); 3 - Bobby Bloom - Montego Bay (10th September 1970); 4 - The Tremeloes - Me and My Life* (3rd September 1970); 5 - Jimmy Savile and Pete Murray presenting the Christmas 1969 show.

6 - Sandie Shaw - By Tomorrow (not the 5th February 1970 version); 7 - Kenny Everett introducing an episode; 8 - Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - Tears of a Clown (10th September 1970); 9 - ;Family - The Weaver's Answer (27th August 1970?) 10 - Dusty Springfield - How Can I Be Sure? (10th September 1970).

11 - Crowd dancing to unknown Reggae track; 12 - Jimmy Savile looks like he's presenting an award to a group here (probably 10th September 1970 again, going by the background); 13 - Blue Mink - Good Morning Freedom (12th March 1970?); 14 - Three Dog Night - Mama Told Me Not to Come (video) (20th August 1970?).

15 - Tony Blackburn dancing with the audience; 16 - Joe Dolan - You're a Good Looking Woman (12th March 1970); 17 - The Scaffold - Lily the Pink (Christmas Day, 1969); 18 (and 19?) - One or two excerpts of crowd dancing to unknown track(s).  

*The Tremeloes preceded the classic Pan's People routine for Make It with You.
