There was a video documentary made in the eighties that used video clips of See My Friends and Set Me Free. Does anyone know if these are European or Swedish tv? All this Kinks material needs to be collected on a dynamite dvd set. These are some of the items I would like to see on it.
You Really Got Me (Beat Room), All Day And All Of The Night and a couple more (Shindig), See My Friends and Set Me Free (Europe or Sweden?), live set (Beat Beat Beat), Sunny Afternoon (A Whole Scene Going), Dead End Street (filmed promo), Dandy and Well Respected Man (Hollywood Palace?), Waterloo Sunset (Beat Club), Autumn Almanac (Top Of the Pops), Mr.Pleasant (Beat Club), Wonderboy (Top of the Pops), Starstruck (filmed promo), Last Of The Steam Powered Trains and Picture Book (Julie Felix), Days (Pop Go The Sixties), Plastic Man (Beat Club), Lola and Apeman, (Top of the Pops), Muswell Hillbilly (Beat Club). Doesn't it make your mouth water?

Dave, the 'Set me Free'/'See my friends' clip you refer to is definitely foreign.

Thanks Thomas. Yes, I was just wondering which it was really. European or Scandinavian? I assumed not British as we have generally kept programmes from that period as film and not video. I'd like to know the show they are from though as It's a source of pop footage not generally looked into.

It's Swedish, from "Drop-In" September 1965.

Thanks AJ. I had a feeling it was Swedish. Drop In also featured that famous existing Beatles appearance from 1963 so it seems like this show is a valuable archive of pop performances. Do you know how many years it lasted and if all of it exists (I am guessing it does)? I would like to see a listing of the acts who appeared.

The 'Pathe' Wonderboy clip originates from German TV. The program was called 'blick in die welt' (In view of the world). and was from 4/6/68. Perhaps some of our german members might have some more detail about this show? Just how Pathe ended up with it i don't know.

"Blick in die Welt" a weekly Magazin in german TV shown between 1951 and 1986 there is an archiv in Bielefeld which seem to have most of these magazins www.brackwede.de/medienarchiv/archiv2.htmlThat's what I found out with a quick search thru the web.

It certainly does look like it. I have seen another really bad copy of one of their Top of the Pops appearances with this song. Not sure if it is this one but if it is, It's much better picture quality. Wonder where the RSG comes from? I don't think Dave Clark has this one in his archive as it never turned up in those compilations, which were mostly from earlier years.

both clips are from Beat Club. On this edition (number 13 i think) they used the TOTP clip and a RSG clip. So they survive because of the German Archive, not from the BBC or Rediffusion.

Well, Lennon had a video recorder circa 66-68- and I suppose it's possible. If indeed it was his, I wonder what other treats he recorded. Lennon was certainly fastidious about keeping his audio collection, so maybe some of that ended up in the Lennono archives Hi. I'm new to the forum, and hope that this is the correct place to post my "one that got away' story. I'm now living in the US, and was in Vegas last weekend. I ended up in a bar off strip talking to a guy who had some interesting tales to tell, and one of them related to Lennon. THe guy started off in live ads on US television, and told me all sorts of tales about Gillette razors and various bath products, and TV in the US in the 60's. For me, the later tales were far more interesting. One of the stories was that he was he was contacted by John Lennon himself in 1978 to convert some tapes he had received of "some English comedy show...Kenny Everett...a guy with a beard", so that they would work on a US VCR. He said that 'they' did the job, and Lennon, suitably impressed, asked if they could do the same with some with some stuff from the 60's and 70's that he had brought with him as his machinery would not work, and he told me that is was hours of TOTP, amongst other things, for which he had to use the facilities at NBC to convert into a format that would work on a US home VCR of the time. He also mentioned doing film transfers to video also. If what he told me is true, it would seem that the Lennon archive would contain a wealth of the 'Pops' not seen since broadcast.

Hi Frank - that's great. Thanks for the link to these German archives. I was very interested to see the listing for surviving editions held for 'Deutchland Spiegel' and that only one is held for 1968. The one I've seen with a Bee Gees story including brief onstage footage and silly self interview is almost certainly not the one held in that archive. Did these newsreels often feature pop music and pop groups? Or is it just a fluke that the one edition I've seen had some music-related story? Cheers LD
