Hopefully people will be pleased to know that I have found a near complete recording of the "Top of the Pops" for the week of Thursday 5 November 1972 - presenter Ed Stewart. It's a microphone recording onto cassette but is very clear - certainly as clear as you would expect for something of that vintage.
Groovy!

A good edition nevertheless, especially with the "Elmo James" performance by Chairman Of The Board and "Hallelujah Freedom" by Junior Campbell. I think the Osmonds first TOTP performance with "Crazy Horses" on this particular edition is the same one used for the surviving B&W 16/11/72 show and the surviving colour 28/12/72 edition. Please correct me if i`m wrong. |

No chance of me remembering it, though I was around (just).

Please correct me if i`m wrong. I bow to your superior knowledge - I'm just going by what was scrawled on the tape. The edition noted from what is on the tape is: Loop Di Love - Shag (last half only) Clair - Gilbert O'Sullivan Keeper of the Castle - The Four Tops My Ding a Ling - Chuck Berry Elmo James - Chairman of the Board Here I Go Again - Archie Bell & The Drells (Pan's People) There Are More Questions Than Answers - Johnny Nash Alan Osmond interviewed by presenter Ed Stewart Crazy Horses - The Osmonds Mouldy Old Dough - Lt Pigeon Tape ends before play-out. |

would that be Loco Porti by Chris Montez? On his live version on TOTP he got a couple of the lines the wrong way round, thus ruining the subsequent rhyme which he tried to cover with a "yeah", I seem to recall! (and of course on Sun 5 Nov the radio 1 chart rundown took a unique format - the top thirty alternated with extracts from hits of the previous half century, Brian Matthew co-presented it. No chart recap at the end of the show either!)  |

I was just thinking today that what would be really useful to have to hand for reference would be a list of the known TOTP audios. There have been quite a lot of threads about recoveries and existing sound recordings in people's collections over the last couple of years or so (I think the BBC took copies of some a while back). As yet though, no comprehensive list is available.

I think a new thread on the topic is all that's needed (only so many hours in the day, y'know!)......
