Top of The Pops Query 22/10/1975

Just found this clip on You Tube. It states it was taken from TOTP on 22/10/1975, just wondering if this is TOTP and missing?

If it is from TOTP it's supposedly wiped.

Interesting to see that clip. It seems in very good shape, shame about the framing though. I wonder if the poster has the whole show

[Kev Hunter]

Doesn't look like TOTP to me, especially given the absense of any crowd noise at the end.. the mic he's using looks different to those on TOTP at the time, and 22 Oct 75 was a Wednesday, not a Thursday - although that could have just been a typo. It looks more like a Supersonic clip or something, but then I'm not a T. Rexpert. Someone will know for sure!

Here is the same clip again without the framing.

I have it on good authority that this is the promo film, not TOTP as stated and was shot by Mike Mansfield at LWT

Thanks to my good friend and T-Rexpert Dave Hughes for this information ☺

I'm sure someone else here will know more about this but according to the Official Marc bolan Fan Club site "Cadillac" was performed on
Rock En Stock -- French music documentary -- T.Rex at Chateau D'Herouville performing "Jeepster", "Hot Love", "Cadillac" and "Telegram Sam" plus interviews -- February 12th.

And also Music In The Round -- British music show -- T.Rex perform "Cadillac", "Jeepster", "Telegram Sam", "Spaceball Ricochet" plus interview with Marc -- April 16th, 23rd.

Is it from either of these shows or from somewhere else?

[Alan Turrell]

Jeff it's from Music In The Round here is Telegram Sam from the same show.
