I've just seen a clip from a forthcoming John Lennon DVD. Yoko Ono was just on Later with Jools Holland and they showed a clip of the knitting version of 'Instant Karma'. Great news indeed.

Haha, I'd just come on here to say the same thing. You beat me to it, Mike.  It was in broadcast quality too. |

I was just reading a review of the Lennon DVD in Record Collector today. For me, there's not enough on it to warrant buying (the few TV clips are desirable, yes, but there's a lack of original period promos). Does anyone know though if the TOTP "alternate" Instant Karma clip is on colour VT or b/w t/r? Has it been restored at all? What's the quality of the Lew Grade appearance from '75 like? I'm just curious as the review remarks on the state-of-the-art restoration undertaken for this release - is the work done on it really that good?

The alternate "knitting" Instant Karma is colour VT - looks very nice, quality wise. The Lew Grade appearance is OK quality wise (not as good as Instant Karma though), and definitely worth seeing if only for an interesting lyric change to "Imagine". Shame about Lennon's hideous jumpsuit though... I got the impression that most of the remastering effort went on the audio (which does sound very nice indeed), rather than the video. |

Thanks for the info. A colour clip - what a surprise! NTSC transfer presumably? I suppose this and the other Karma clip only survive in isolation, rather than in the complete TOTP editions they come from..? Just a thought.

I think I read somewhere else someone saying it looked like NTSC - to be honest I wouldn't want to offer an opinion on it. The song fades out to nothing without a pullback to a presenter, which suggests it was filmed as a seperate insert, and it's that raw insert that survives. |

Yes, both Karma clips were shot together as inserts for two separate TOTP editions (but with full audience in attendance). Presumably these ARE the raw inserts (sometimes these can contain a DJ link) although it may have just been faded on the DVD to avoid extraneous material.

Presumably these ARE the raw inserts (sometimes these can contain a DJ link) although it may have just been faded on the DVD to avoid extraneous material. Well, if there was a DJ link following the clip I would expect it to come in as the song was still fading out, and the DVD continues until the song has faded to nothing, which makes me think there is no link following it. Having said that, the original TOTP audio might have been replaced on the DVD with the studio version of IK, which could confuse the issue... |

According to KB. V1 is from Yoko Ono's own collection, but the soundtrack has been added and so is not quite synchronised at the end of the clip. ASM

Better than nothing. |

---------------------------------------------- Hi William, yes it is disappointing, but the one optimistic note is that Lennon, for all his criticism of the Fabs after the split,WAS a Beatles collector!. He had every Beatles bootleg released during his lifetime, and may have collected footage too - I really don't know, but there's always the hope. |
