Some of the surviving episodes only exist in edited form. So not all of the musical guests performances (such as The Swinging Blue Jeans) survive.
Anyway, while researching for my book a couple of years back, I made a note of all the artists and songs I recognised. Interestingly, prior to 1964 they only really featured middle of the road acts, so The Dave Clark Five and The Rolling Stones must've come to quite a shock to viewers!

So most of the "Trendy" musical acts were edited out/missing from the dvd releases - Does anyone know if the actual performances exist in the archives ?
Here's a couple of photo's from acts featured
