A previous YouTube posting indicates that the Edwin Starr clip is from French TV www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RXxR3u2AFoThe Small Faces clip was taped on 18th April, 1967 (when 'I Can't Make It' was their current single) but not transmitted by ITV on the Morecambe & Wise show until 22nd October

Difficult to believe that anyone in February 1967 who knew anything about the Move (then recently banned from Top Rank ballrooms) would have considered them suitable to appear in a cathedral or on Morning Service 10:30 a.m. Sunday on BBC1 genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1967-02-26Presumably the fevered imagination of the group's publicist or manager?

I'm not listening to it, but the new show probably fits in better with the rest of Radio 2's output - I recall an interview with Brian Matthew in Record Collector magazine a few years ago in which he was quoted as saying that they had to resist those in charge of the station who wanted more hits on SotS. A similar thing happened with the 1950s which once had a show with Mark Lamarr who was welcome on the station when he was regularly appearing on TV, not so much afterwards. This is a good internet radio show for folks who like pop/psych obscurities from the mid 60s - cometothesunshine.podomatic.com/www.cometothesunshine.com/

I believe Jeff Griffin was/is the other BBC producer who together with Bernie Andrews was said to be holding session tapes not in the possession of the BBC. Some interviews with Bernie here, which should be interesting, although I've not yet watched or read them historyproject.org.uk/interview/bernie-andrews

Yes, it looks like Elton John at 0:42 - the record is heard on the YT clip but I presume the original Disco 2 performance was live

The chart seen at 0:07 indicates that the clip originates from a country where Take Five by the Dave Brubeck Quartet and One Million Years by Robin Gibb were Top 20 hits in 1969 The Netherlands? www.45cat.com/record/s4662

I came up with the same list except I think it was the Tremeloes rather than the Move in between the Herd and Dusty.

Thanks for your reply Ashley, Keith Badman is a friend of mine; so I won't comment. I'm sure however, that being the man he is he would'nt mind the odd bit of criticism? and would surely take on board any errors you have noticed, especially concerning the Beach boys 'Smile' period. All four books I mentioned are proudly sitting on my bookshelf, are there any other such detailed day by day books of other bands from the 60's or 70's that you know of? Jawbone Press have published - Strange Brew / Eric Clapton & the British Blues Boom 1965-1970 by Christopher Hjort (includes John Mayall's Bluesbreakerrs, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac) So You Want to be a Rock'n'Roll Star / The Byrds Day-by-Day 1965-1973 by Christopher Hjort White Light/White Heat / The Velvet Underground Day-by-Day by Richie Unterberger and of course Mark Lewisohn was first with The Beatles Live, later amalgamated with the Complete Recording Sessions into The Complete Beatles Chronicle

Brian Epstein is said to have ensured that at least one copy of every single released in the UK was ordered to be available in his Liverpool store NEMS. Groups could hear songs in the listening booths there even if they did not buy a copy.

So, which episode of Till Death did Mickey see? Is it one that's still around? Looking at the online Monkees diary 20th February, 1967 ('State Visit') would appear likely to have been the episode, although Micky was also in London on the previous Monday so that day's episode ('In Sickness and in Health') would also be a possibility if the "Pop Discs Award" ceremony he attended was held during the day rather than in the evening. aln2.albumlinernotes.com/Monkees_Diary_-_Part_One.htmlAmazingly both these shows were reported as recovered here - www.thiswaydown.org/missing-episodes/tilldeathnews.htm

My favourite is, and has always been, the one about Liverpool taking off as a centre for beat music because of black american sailors bringing back R&B records. Its so set in stone now that I bet a fair view of you on this Forum believe it. I never heard it mentioned before the late 1970s/early 80s (which is when a lot of the sixties 'history' was written or should I say rewritten.) The usual theory was that Liverpool's own "Cunard Yanks" (not American sailors) had found the r&b records that the groups covered www.theguardian.com/music/2015/jul/01/liverpool-merseybeat-cunard-yanks-sailors-taught-britain-to-rocknrollbut neither Spencer Leigh or Mark Lewisohn support this claim - all the records the groups covered had been released in the UK (and probably had been played by Bob Wooler at the Cavern Club)

Thanks for the replies everyone. Steve Turner says it wasn't a Colour Me Pop. Mike Eastman says the appearance was shown as 'video insert' and probably consisted of 2 songs.. apparently their album had just been released and the feature was to promote this. I think Occams razor would suggest that it was a Late Night Line Up feature, maybe Eastman remembers it as a Colour Me Pop as the forthcoming show was being discussed a lot at the time.. the early CMPs tended to be complete sets by one act only. Does anyone know how musical guests on LNLU were usually presented? Would they often have musical guests for entertainment purposes only like on a variety show, or did there always have to be some kind of cultural/point of discussion reason a musical act was featured? Just wondering what the likelihood that the 18th May edition would have carried a 2 song video insert by a non chart pop act promoting their debut album. It seems extremely unlikely to me that LNLU on 18th May (described as a "look at the film word" with film requests) would include two songs from Katch 22's LP in a 35 minutes broadcast. The most notable thing about the LP was that it was released on the Saga label and sold in W.H. Smith's, and Woolworths www.45worlds.com/vinyl/album/eros8047
