[Joe Haynes]

Thanks alot. It sounds amazing!

Now if someone has 6/6/68 then it can be re-dubbed on to the existing t/r!

[Neil Barker]

Yeah the quality's pretty good for the time isn't it? It's great that these are still turning up!

[Alan Turrell]

Thanks Neil, when i listen to these i try to visulise what they must look like , thanks again.

[Tim Disney]

Thanks Neil, sounds good. I'll look forward to listening to this in full later. Alan, I do the same as you, mentally visualise the pictures. I think it's the skill that a certain generation still possess after all those years of recording audio from the tv or listening to radio comedy and plays

I've just re-uploaded part one of the Christmas 64 TOTP that was blocked by Soundcloud due to The Kinks track, so I've chopped that out. I've also added what I have of Christmas 69. Help yourself. goo.gl/N6jDB

[Neil Barker]

Thanks Tim

Glad everyone's enjoying it. If I get anymore I will of course post the links on here.

[Stephen Doran]

Very clear

Having listened to this I am struck by how many of the performances were live. The Love Affair track Rainbow Valley appears to be backed by the full TOTP orchestra with the then 17 year old Steve Ellis putting in a mighty vocal,while the Rolling Stones are on fine form with a live version of Jumping Jack Flash (although I doubt this was performed in the TOTP studio?).
A real shame these great performances no longer exist in the BBC archive.

[Ray Langstone (was saintsray)]

The Stones Jumping Jack Flash was a promo. There are TWO versions of the promo.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBfnODYHpm8 (version 2, more common, about 12/05/68)

www.beatlesondvd.com/19651969/19680428_sto.htm (version 1, 28/04/68)

You'll have to compare audios of the TOTP edition and version2 to suss out which one was broadcast, I have no audio facility here at work. My money's on version 1!

Hmm. As there are other audios existing from around this time, it seems a quite likely prospect that there's one of the 6/6/68 show to utilise to re-dub the DJ links over the existing t/r!
