Just a quick query re: John Lennon doing Instant Karma on what looks to be TOTP (complete with a blindfolded skinheaded Yoko!)
Is this TOTP? and if so does it exist on Colour VT? as i've just seen(and recorded) it on the telly..
They are both wearing denims, and sporting matching shaven haircuts.....
I imagine it does as how else would i have seen it, but just wanted to confirm it...
John..

Yes, it's TOTP. There's a long thread about it all below somewhere!

Keith Badman has also written an article about it recently in Record Collector (can't remember if its the current issue)

I thought that the 'Instant Karma' colour performance was actually recovered from the States. It looks like it has been standards converted at some point.
So I guess the first surviving colour VT must be 29/1/70 containing such gems as Jethro Tull and Badfinger. Although the current whereabouts of this episode in the BBC archives is disputed.

Yes, the 29/1/70 colour clips are the earliest surviving TOTP colour material from the '70s (if they are finally located within the archive, that is). The surviving Bobby Gentry clip of Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head used in Disco also comes from the same edition as onee of the Lennon clips though - 12/2/70. There is a brief fragment of Sandie Shaw in colour too from 5/2/70 (in that montage that found it's way onto the net a while back). These are the earliest though (although there are a couple from late '69). Keith Badman claims in a recent RC article that the second Lennon clip was recently returned by Yoko, who had kept a broadcast copy (which probably explains the standards cobversion from NTSC).

lost in the archive, perhaps they could put out an internal apeal or better mount an expedition "I'm going in, I may be some time"  does anyone have any more news of the montage? does anyone know who owns it? and is it just those clips or complete performances(I have said this before but a suitable amount of time has elapsed), we'd all like to know |

As I understand it, it's just those brief fagments kept by a technician or someone (although there are lots of theories on this one - does anyone actually know the truth?)

I hope there is something, does any one have a still from the dusty "how can I be sure"? I can compare it to the morcombe and wise piece, if its the same performance, then perhaps others survive intact
