very keen to get this on MPG!; there are only two other surviving visual clips of any kind of the Kinks in 1968 (village green era): the Wonderboy promo made for Pathe films (which uses a drastically shortened version of the song) and the Starstruck promo video. Have you got a copy since you posted this message? If not, I can arrange to upload it to a BitTorrent tracker somewhere for you. I've already uploaded it at one tracker, but that's members only and registration is currently disabled. At least one person so far has been very grateful to see it, which is good to see. that's be great if you could! |

I've already uploaded it there, but it's members-only and registration is currently disabled. It's going down well though! |

Sod BitTorrent. I've put it up here: steve-p.org/pop/missing.htm Also have put up "Soley Soley" by Middle of the Road (with top-totty Sally Carr - oh the memories!) from TOTP via Disco. If people let me know other non-BBC TOTP clips that they have found, we can hopefully make this page have them all. Steve |

imo waste of time contacting Auntie Beeb. TOTP just ain't sexy. Now if it was some yoof clip or reality show or politically correct nonsense that's another matter! It is interesting that Veronica, a dutch tv station appears at the start. The Kinks were huge in Holland so maybe they ordered it. well they wern't interested in the Kinks and DDBM&T performances on the Greatest hits video when I contacted them back in 1992, and it doesn't seemed to have changed much. |

I hope so! A big thank you, Steve for putting all these clips up on your site. It's very handy for those of us who don't have access to the relevant programmes to be able to see the non-BBC TOTP clips, and all in the one place too.
That Middle of the Road clip was particularly good picture quality. Do you currently have any other TOTP performances from Disco which could be uploaded at some stage?
Thanks again.
Regards,
Mark

Nope - all the ones I have are there. It's up to the people here who have other ones whether they want to share them or not. There are 750 VHS tapes of pop stuff behind me as I speak, but it's all "official" stuff, apart from what I have uploaded. Steve steve.phillips@kcl.ac.uk |

Any luck in contacting the American company that has the Hendrix clip? Don't think anybody knows who has the original. The BBC certainly aren't in a position to go and do vast amounts of detective work to find it. It'll probably have to wait till somebody does a Hendrix documentary or something, and decides to go after it. An experienced footage researcher could probably track it down very quickly as it seems to be in the hands of some outfit who licences it out. Steve |
