As I'm sure most people on here are aware, the Sounds of the Seventies TV series is something of a recurring fixture on the Yesterday satellite channel. Episode one seems never to be shown, however. Does anyone know the reason for this? Is there some copyright problem preventing it being screened?

Taken from the fantastic TV Pop Diaries website.
BBC2 The Sounds Of The Seventies 1: The Clothes I Love To Wear T Rex - Hot Love (Top Of The Pops 25 March 1971) Sweet - Blockbuster (Top Of The Pops 25 December 1973) Slade - Mama Weer All Crazee Now (Top Of The Pops 28 December 1972) Gary Glitter - I Love You Love Me Love (Top Of The Pops 15 November 1973) Mott The Hoople - Roll Away The Stone (Top Of The Pops 15 November 1973) Mud - Tiger Feet (Top Of The Pops 27 December 1974) Alvin Stardust - Sketch (Basil Brush Show 1974) Alvin Stardust - Jealous Mind (Top Of The Pops 27 December 1974) Suzi Qutro - Devil Gate Drive (Top Of The Pops 27 December 1974) David Cassidy - Some Kind Of A Summer (Top Of The Pops March 1973) Donny Osmond - Puppy Love (On Tour With The Osmonds 16 January 1974) The Bay City Rollers - News article (Newsround 1975) The Bay City Rollers - Bye Bye Baby (Crackerjack 1975)
The Gary Glitter clips would have to be edited out, but I can’t see any other reason why it wouldn’t be shown.

Gary hasn't been edited out of "Supergran" as far as I know. Still, that does not mean everything's OK.

I think there would be a problem with The Sweet's Blockbuster clip too, Steve Priest's German army uniform and the black cross he wore.

It'll be quite ironic that a channel like Yesterday whose programming includes loads of programmes on World War II has a problem with someone dressed in a German uniform!

On my copy, the Blockbuster clip is not the one from 25 Dec 1973. And there is definitely no Nazi stuff going on in the performance.
Savile appears between Glitter and Mott the Hoople.

My copy of the show (think it was from the early days of BBC Four ) cuts out Glitter all together ,so Yesterday could easily have used that edit

So they’d just need to edit out Savile then? Wouldn’t have been too hard.
My copy is from the original broadcast so is thankfully intact.

The version on YouTube (which is a repeat) has Sweet and Gary Glitter missing.
There were two takes of the 25/12/73 Blockbuster performance according to the Sweet official YouTube page. I’ll have to check my copy to see which version was used originally. As it’s missing from the repeat version, I assume is the one with Nazi armband and hitler moustache.

Hi Matt, It's neither of the two Xmas '73 takes. According to the brilliant Popscene site, It must be from 25 Jan 1973.

You’re right, I’ve just checked my copy and it’s the 25/1/73 performance. So that shouldn’t cause any issues. As Saville and Gary Glitter appear after each other, that should be an easy edit.
As per the original question, there’s no real reason why this episode can’t be shown with those edits.
My copy is missing Alvin Stardust (sketch and song) and David Cassidy maybe they replaced the Glitter clip on later edits?

I've noticed that the repeats of this series (and also of Sounds Of The Sixties) on Yesterday always omit something from the original showings, probably due to the fact that they are fitting a 30 minute episode into a 30 minute time slot and have to accommodate a commercial break in the middle.
