My apologies if this is a bit of a lame question... When I lived in London in 1984 I taped various scattered song performances from TOTP over several months from mid '84. They include Echo & The Bunnymen "7 Seas", Smiths "William It Was Really Nothing", Divine "You Think You're A Man" etc etc (can't remember off hand what else I have). Question being - are these safely in an archive somewhere, or are these "missing". (Also have bits of OGWT from the same era).
hope this helps : )
