I don't suppose there are any fans of Julie Driscoll and Brian Auger that know anything about a live audio tape of a 1968 show that apparently surfaced in 2007? Steve Hoffman forum member peelmeanemma (who's not been active in a decade) mentions that audio that he thinks may be from this edition in this post from 2008 on the Steve Hoffman forum:http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/colour-me-pop-uk-tv.146238/#post-3403874
I'm looking to track it down as as peelmeanemma speculates, it may have been the soundtrack to Driscoll and Auger's all live (filmed at Fairfield Hall in Croydon) appearance on my most wanted mostly missing TV show, Colour Me Pop. Any help identifying where (if anywhere) this tape can be found and it's contents appreciated!

I haven’t been able to find any information about an audio bootleg of this ‘Colour Me Pop’ performance. I hope it exists.
On a related note, I had a look at the BFI Collections Search database and I saw a listing for a clip called ‘Julie Driscoll: This Wheel’s On Fire’. This is a performance from ‘Late Night Line-Up’ broadcast on 23 November 1968. The Julie Driscoll ‘Colour Me Pop’ episode was broadcast on that date. Is this an extract from the Fairfield Hall concert?
The clip is 3:30 minutes long and a videotape can be requested for viewing at the BFI.

Sounds likely that could be from CMP: I guess there's a chance it could also have been separate performance/promo film used in LNLU to trail the CMP show later that night: although that seems less likely. If the clip could be viewed it would be easy to tell right away if it was the CMP footage, as the Nice edition filmed on the same night at the same venue still exists in b/w and could be compared.

AJS you are probably aware that a 15 min audio extract of Julie at the Fairfield is suppose to exist somewhere

I had a look at TV listings for 23 November 1968. ‘Colour Me Pop’ was on BBC-2 at 10:50, but there wasn’t a regular edition of ‘Late Night Line-Up’ earlier that evening. Therefore, the clip of ‘This Wheel’s on Fire’ held at the BFI is likely to contain footage recorded at Fairfield Hall. I suppose there’s a small possibility that the BFI might have dated the clip incorrectly. I had a look at an article about Julie Driscoll published in ‘The Guardian’ on 08 June 1968. As far as I can work out, 'This Wheel’s on Fire’ was also performed on a regular edition of ‘Late Night Line-Up’ on Wednesday, 05 June 1968. Apparently, Michael Dean introduced the performance by claiming that the song had gone “unnoticed by the shrill pundits of Radio One”. Hopefully, someone will be able to have a look at the BFI clip at some point. In the meantime, do any forum members remember seeing it at a ‘Missing Believed Wiped’ event at the BFI in 2012? Was it a telerecording of a studio performance or film footage of a live concert?

Talking of Colour Me Pop, the complete Small Faces episode was finally officially released on DVD as part of the Ogden's 50th anniversary 4 disc edition. An edited version has previously been released on the All or Nothing 1965-1968 DVD but this version includes the Lazy Sunday promo. Watching the programme I realised the Lazy Sunday promo film is out of synch to the edits made to the film. I'm not sure if it's a Peter Whitehead filmed promo but when it's aligned (see below) the promo makes more sense.
What do you think?

This promo is on a Dutch BR Music DVD which is in Synch, these days it's easy to put right using software such as Sony Vegas. For example--->> Wasn't there another colour promo featuring the Small Faces probably made at the same time, they were on the beach with P.P Arnold, she was singing The First Cut is the Deepest.

Wasn't there another colour promo featuring the Small Faces probably made at the same time, they were on the beach with P.P Arnold, she was singing The First Cut is the Deepest. That was used for 'If You Think You're Groovy'; filmed at Camber Sands (not all that colouful as seen on YT) www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMuE5hAADRs The promo appears to have been shot at the beginning of October in 1967 - it must have required some dedication from Pat Arnold early in the morning at that time of year - the single was not released until 5th January, 1968. The Lazy Sunday promo was directed by Peter Whitehead and filmed on 1st April, 1968 at Kenn(e)y Jones' parents' house
