Great to see Britpop At The BBC last night, especially the early appearance by Suede on The Late Show, and also good to see Powder, who I missed at the time. I guess most - if not all - 90s BBC music shows / clips still exist in the archives?

lots of stuff does the audio stuff ( I was informed by someone who should know, as they were there at the time) is complete including some out-takes by bands apparently, and those with inside knowledge will tell you, there were some bands who did different versions of songs to test out ideas / variations on singles without wasting studio time.
I believe though (again from the same source as before) that whole recordings of radio one shows after 7pm in the 1990's don't exist in a complete format, however session tracks do as obviously these were recorded separately.
Its not a lot but I wrote a post here about the BBC audio recovery project and their disinterest, until i spoke to the person mentioned above who, as they had been in the 1990's was so helpful and happy to answer sometimes silly questions relating to these things.
what you should be looking for are examples or regional news output from 1990's who did features on 'the next blur / oasis / britpop band to make it big' there were lots of these done in 1995-1997, including little bits of local radio coverage of local festivals or better the 'pop up' community radio stations covering gigs etc
I am pleased to say I do have in my possession the only known recording of a band on a community radio station who never made it big, but did get exposure nationally.
sorry some of this should eb in the radio thread...

Interesting post Brian.
Surprised that Radio 1 shows after 7pm don't exist in a complete format from the 90s. A great shame - they could always be a good listen. If TOTP, The Word or TFI Friday were missing from that period, imagine the outcry.
I assume that means 'Out On Blue Six' (Mark Radcliffe), 'The Evening Session' (Mark Goodier, & then Jo Whiley/Steve Lamacq), and 'Marc & Lard' (Mark Radcliffe/Marc Riley) as well as John Peel's shows from the time.
The Evening Session was current music, but Marc & Lard also introduced the audience to interesting older music. In the pre-internet days this could be fairly obscure or difficult to source.
