from Kaleidoscope fb page:
'DISCOVERY 274: Ready Steady Go - tx: 2/7/1965. Rediffusion
with Manfred Mann, Kenny Lynch and Nina Simone.
When Channel 4 arrived in the 1980s, they had a strong focus on pop music. In 1985 repeats of Ready Steady Go arrived, but they were not complete shows. They were compilations of material mixed with clips from US shows such as Shindig. What survived of Ready Steady Go was held as part of the Dave Clark Archive and Kaleidoscope tried many times to ascertain exactly what he held. Dave was a very private person and we had no joy. Earlier this year the Dave Clark Archive was sold to BMG and since then Kaleidoscope has worked with their team to find a purpose for the surviving RSG material. www.tvbrain.info has been updated to show all holdings and some new material has been found. The Who and Pete & Dud from 2/7/1965 has been known to exist for many years, but Kaleidoscope was pleased to discover that BMG hold a much longer sequences that also involves three other acts. This tallies with our belief that sometimes famous acts were clipped out from the prints and sold abroad as clips, but the footage either side was still valuable, but not always used. Kaleidoscope and BMG are now actively exploring ways to enhance the RSG Archive and use it again on TV.
16mm print transferred to digibeta. Held by BMG.
The sequence contains:
Manfred Mann "Have You Ever Been Mistreated"
The Who "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere" / "Shout (And Shimmy)"
Nina Simone "l Put A Spell On You"
Peter Cook and Dudley Moore "Goodbyeee"
Kenny Lynch "I'll Stay By You"'
This is really fantastic news, in particular the point about Kal working with BMG on the surviving material.
