There's a whole pile of Top of the Pops audio transcriptions available on this blog. No idea how rare they are, but posting here in case people are interested.

Thanks for the heads-up. It's worth mentioning that this has nothing to do with the TOTP TV show. These are radio shows that were made for the US and weren't broadcast in the UK. The shows consist of various tracks from sessions that were originally broadcast on radio shows such as Saturday Club, Top Gear, etc. In many cases the BBC no longer have the original session tapes and these discs are the only source for these tracks. Yes they are quite rare. Many radio shows have been available on the net for over 2 decades but whoever had the TOTP radio shows has held them pretty close to their chest for a long time and only in the last few years have they started to find their way out.

Thanks for the info Dan. I had wondered about the source.
