Can't locate it on TV Brain - Could this be missing ?

The same poster also has a show lasting half an hour featuring Kevin Ayres Kevin Ayers - Live at BBC 1973 complete with BBC time clock at the beginning

Tv Brain lists a Old Grey Whistle test show from 4th April 72 but says only sequences exist -

I think that's been on YouTube for quite a while (certainly the Steeleye Span performance).

What fans of Steeleye would really like is the BBC-2 series "Electric Folk", where they were filmed at different castles/stately homes around the UK each week. Shot during the height of their popularity, it featured many of their best loved songs, and in delightful settings too. One episode was shown a few years ago on BBC-4, and is on YouTube.

The Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span performances are from an episode of a series called “Out Front”, which was broadcast in the Granada region in 1971. The entire series exists in the ITV archives. The episode featuring the Jack Bruce Band is also on YouTube.

Would love to see the Mr Fox edition from this series. The title track from their 1970 album is incredible.
