Picture quality of this special is in wonderful condition. Great production values, and some really good performances.

The cruel thing about good quality footage (and the fact you could have seen her dressed like that yesterday) is that you suddenly realize it was from a very long time ago.

They had less need for telerecordings, without many takers abroad. So what they chose to archive, was stored on videotape. But isn't this simple what 2 inch "quad" tape looks like under good conditions? |

Obviously, the quality had to be there to begin with, but all the other distractions that made it look tired and old have gone and we see (and often hear)it probably better than when it was first transmitted. |

Yes, probably true. I suppose when we see bootlegs or raw copies, no work has been done.
I suppose in some cases, it would even be worthwhile to go back to the master tapes and start all over.

Oh, and that certainly goes for everything in the television realm. There have been many a DVD release of largely popular TV shows that have gotten many a complaint because sometimes edited, or tired old syndication prints were used for the DVD release... mainly because some companies are too cheap to go back to the original tapes (Or film). They did this with the Monkees TV series, until they FINALLY went back to the original negatives and struck new prints when they did the Blu ray release. |

Footage from the 1969 broadcast is just as great. The main thing that I notice is the audio quality. With a full live orchestra, the sound quality is so beautifully preserved. You can even clearly hear that Xylophone.
