Have the following dates and details for European progressive rock groups that were promoted or sold in the U.K. in the 1970s.
Around 1973, 'Virgin records' premiered many of the albums in their postal service. Bands such as 'Can', 'Neu', 'Amon Duul II', 'Gong' and 'Faust' were the best known. Despite varied country origins they all seemed to end up under the category 'Kraut rock'.
Of course there are probably many appearences of these bands that never were seen here. I'd be interested if anyone else can add to these appearences and confirm what exists (where not stated).
*APHRODITES CHILD (Belgium TV - one appearence 1968, one 1970; both exist as B+W T/Rs).
*EURO ROCK ON 'OLD GREY WHISTLE TEST'

30.05.72 - Focus (Dutch) session 1 COMPLETE VT
12.12.72 - Focus - session 2 (Hocus Pocus / Sylvia + intro, same - out take, Anonymous III, Focus III, Medley; Eruption?) STUDIO REEL INSERT. Items 1 and 2 appear on OGWT Vol. 1, others on 'MASTERS FROM THE VAULTs' DVD.
