John, the promo to You Can Make Me Dance is possibly in the same state of limbo as the two 'missing in action' Michael Jackson TOTP performances from late 72 - they (Lookin' Through The Window, Ben) are there somewhere, misfiled - but searches have drawn a blank. There was 12 minutes of 12-12-74 found on a tape in Holland, but all there is of the Faces on that is a back announcement from JS as he introduces the next performance (Elton John, I think) It goes without saying if the BBC are implementing Stalin-esque revisionism to their archive these things could become even more difficult to search for.

Paul / Mike - The promo for 'You Can Make Me Dance' is listed on the Popscene web site: TOTP episode dated 12-12-74. The specially made for TOTP film was shot at one of the bands Lewisham Odeon dates in November 1974. The version used on TOTP was in B&W. I recorded audio of the song on my little Phillips tape recorder at the time. Some ten years later (June or July 1984), 1:48mins of it was repeated at the end of Pop Quiz. Mike Reed wrongly introduced it as having "never broadcast before". Obviously the film is somewhere at the BBC but has not been associated with the relevant Top Of The Pops episode. My TOTP audio is identical to that on the Pop Quiz repeat which I recorded at the time and still have, so this film is very much is existance. Furthermore Andy Neil when researching his excellent Faces biography uncovered a full colour version of the film, although I'm not sure this is held by the BBC. The Popscene web site does not acknowledge that this insert exists, maybe someone could put this right? Also the Faces two TOTP appearances for Stay With Me dated 6-1-72 and 20-1-72 exist as they were infact inserts of the song from Sounds for Saturday (not fully broadcast until 1-4-72). So Stay With Me appeared on TOTP first. Again, not acknowledged on Popscene listings. Chris - thanks for the info regarding Angel + Pool Hall Richard. This obsession with JS and the wiping of his existance is very unhealthy. Nasty bit of work maybe, but the past cannot be re-written or whitewashed away. John, Do you know which pop quiz it was shown on? Is it this one? S04E09. 18 Sep 1984. Glenn Tilbrook, Andy Fairweather-Low, Lloyd Cole, Judie Tzuke, Meatloaf, Fish Can you upload the clip from it
