Top of the Pops Christmas Specials - New Audio Recordings?

[Paul Vanezis]

Ladies and Gents,

I've been sent some recordings of some Christmas Top of the Pops shows; I'm not up to speed on what survives and what doesn't, so here's the list. Can anyone help with what's what? These are all good quality line recordings:

1965
1966 Parts 1 & 2
1967 Parts 1 & 2
1969 Parts 1 & 2
1970 Parts 1 & 2
1971 Parts 1 & 2
1972 Parts 1 & 2

I can't recall if all of these were actually two parters. If not it means the recordings are split.

Thanks in advance,
Paul

You've written 1972 twice (I'm assuming you also have 1971).

As far as I recall (without checking), 1967 part 2, 1971 part 2 and 1972 part 2 survive on video.

You're welcome Paul.

As well as the 1967/1971/1972 shows I mentioned, excerpts of Christmas 1969 survive, namely The Scaffold (incomplete), Clodagh Rodgers and The Rolling Stones. Additionally The Marmalade on 'Pop Go The Sixties' (broadcast 31st December 1969) was also originally from the 1969 Christmas show.
