I don't know if this has been noted before, but Youtube channel Radio.Lux has uploaded lots of complete editions of the German pop show Disco '71 and '72 in excellent quality (apart from a horrible false stereo efect on the soundtrack). Today they added the first edition of 'Hitparade' from 1969.
To get you started here's a link to the first edition of Disco '71, which kicks off with 'Shocking You' by Shocking Blue and includes the Kinks 'Apeman' with a Tony Blackburn voiceover intro and also Lulu's 'You Gotta Believe in Love' both from TOTP. Any idea on TOTP tx dates for these two performances?

Steve Doug Hinman lists 7th January, 1971 as the broadcast date for the Kinks' Apeman appearance. Lulu could well be from the same week as 'Got to Believe in Love' appears to have been released on the following day (and was not a hit as far as I can see) www.45cat.com/record/2091049

In fact there's a third TOTP insert on the same Disco '71 edition; Petula Clark singing 'The Song Of My Life'.

Lulu, "You've Got To Believe In Love" is from a surviving Savile episode, broadcast 14th January 1971. Kinks, "Apeman" was shown 3rd December 1970, 7th January 1971 and 21st January 1971 but only the latter two were presented by Blackburn. Petula Clark, "The Song of My Life" is taken from 21st January 1971.

How strange. The whole account had no public videos last night! Glad they're back. I see a new video (Mina – Heißer Sand) was added at the same time. www.youtube.com/user/STRAHLENLICHT/videos

Steve Thanks for the link, have grabbed these before they vanish Although this is the first time this uploader has uploaded the Disco 72 episodes, they uploaded the Disco 71 episodes five years ago. As the original uploads are still there, comparison of the two shows some interesting differences. Basically it seems they're taken from different ZDF repeat runs, and clearly ZDF have made different edits in the different runs. These are the main changes I can see: Disco 71 episode 1: the newer upload removes the video for Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Looking Out My Back Door", which is in the original upload. Presumably there was a rights issue over this. Why it was in one ZDF repeat but not another is unclear, the channel in question (ZDFkultur) closed down some years ago so it would be wrong to assume that the newer uploads are based on newer broadcasts. Also interesting is the way ZDF have edited it out; rather than try and hide the edit by dropping parts of links a la BBC4, they've left the links untouched so it's obvious to even the most casual viewer that a song has been taken out. But I'm all for crediting the viewer with a bit of intelligence, shame the beeb can't do it this way too. Disco 71 episode 5: several differences here. This time it's the newer upload that has the extra song - the TOTP performance of "Rosetta" by Alan Price & Georgie Fame is missing from the older upload. *However* the (German-language) Danyel Gerard song "Butterfly" (which is complete in the original upload) is cut down to under a minute in the newer version. Therefore both uploads contain footage that is missing from the other. It's hard to figure why one broadcast adds a song but then shortens another, unless it was done for reasons of timing? In addition two songs are (more or less) completely missing from both uploads of this episode. Firstly, "You and I" by Brotherhood of Man is gone (though the older upload does at least leave in the final chorus.) Presumably though in 1971 the whole song was included as per this separate YT upload: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qkpzg_laqbo . Also missing completely (bar the links) from both uploads is the TV clip (source unknown) of "Dream Baby" by Glen Campbell. Disco 71 episode 7: The newer upload removes completely the TV clip of "Coco" by The Sweet, which was included in full in the old upload. (Which TV show is this from? Looks like some kind of variety show judging by the crowd shots... It's definitely not TOTP even though a TOTP performance of that song does still exist.) Those are the main differences (purely going by running times), but if songs have been removed from both old and new versions (as per Brotherhood of Man / Glen Campbell) then you'd need to watch the episodes all the way through to identify it. I'd be surprised if there weren't other songs missing from other episodes though. This episode guide (with tracklistings) might be useful in this respect: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disco/Episodenliste#1971

If someone spots the mooted Hurricane Smith and Wings that were - allegedly - on Disco Pick-Ups in 1972 or 1973, please can you let me know!

On the older ('stereo') upload of Disco '71 Edition 10, the opening track by The Fortunes- 'Freedon Come, Freedom Go' has been dubbed over with a later 70s disco track by a different artist. Odd!
Another oddity on one of the Disco '72 editions is that seemingly due to a timing error the BBC production slate is included for about 7 seconds prior to the TOTP insert for 'Children Of The Revolution' by T Rex. You can see it here:
These programmes are very enjoyable although the host's all-too-frequent musical comedy segments get a bit tiresome. It seems completely at odds with the rest of the show.What were they thinking?
