Does anyone have the vhs Rock n Rolls greatest years 1968 ?

[Kev Mulrenan]

I do.

Somewhere.

I recall a promo on that.

[iwest]

I just checked my Japanese laserdisc of Rock'n'Roll Greatest Years 1968 and it's just this b/w promo for Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da:

(NB The karaoke lyrics in the YT link aren't on the laserdisc although it has scrolling bio text along the bottom, at least at the start anyway.)

This clip is pretty good. Reflections Of My Life. Sounds live to me. Certainly the lead vocal: link

Just to add to the mix, how about this very charming b&w promo film for 'My Little One' from 1971 - one of their most overlooked songs I always think.

There's is a ton of Marmalade performances in existence including this recently found colour version of My Little One promo film

The colour version of the My Little One film was uncovered by Kaleidoscope (with help from me as first contact!) from Colour Me Pop director Steve Turner's (he had directed the film: he also made their earlier 'Rainbow' promo clip) collection in 2015/6. It was only a month or so back that Junior Campbell uploaded the clip to his Youtube channel though after contacting Kal to check what they had and getting their permission to upload it.

I agree it is a very charming video (esp as I'm now a father to a wee girl myself) for a great and I agree overlooked baroque pop track, made sadder by the recent passing of both Dean Ford and his daughter Tracey who is the star of the clip. Drummer Alan Whitehead recalls being mauled on the lip by the lion cub during the zoo scenes. Beware: there is another inferior colour version of the video online that looks washed out and has the wrong colours: Juniors top being yellow instead of red! Dunno if it's a colourisation or just an nth grade dub but it looks shonky anyway.

Junior Campbell, Alan Whitehead and Sandy Newman have all been very friendly and helpful when I've had contact with them. Great band of course!

Here's a video for the Sept 1967 single "I See The Rain", a nice piece of flower-pop (or soft psychedelia):


Then there's "Man In A Shop", which is also in a similar vein.

These are both from the Dutch TV show ‘Twien’, broadcast 27-02-68.

Here's the Twien 'Man In A Shop'

But there's also an alternate version, apparently also from Dutch TV. Anyone any idea what show this is from?

[RWels]

While it's not 100% certain, it seems to match this item quite well:
hetarchief.be/catalog/e430c9d28ef44f14b98e22af47f1f252808346dde0e14b75a203cd5e7737f6be5fb939480f954453a0f1b32508807925

So then it would be from Flanders, not Holland or even the Netherlands. The sign on the wall (Belgian beer) and the cathedral in the back (St. Rumbold's, Mechelen) would support that.

While looking, I saw other clips from The Marmelade there (1968-9): Baby come back soon, It's the loving things you do, Cry.


And actually in Holland, "Rainbow" (1970) but that might also be the known footage.

Here's another - "Cousin Norman" :

They feature in Anatomy of Pop which survives.

They use clips of the band in a studio setting. I think at least two different songs are chosen in snippet form.

I have no idea what show this is from.

I know they appeared on Colour Me Pop but don't know if this is the source.

Marmalade appear at around 9:22 in this edition of Anatomy Of Pop featuring Soft Machine; does anyone know what the song is or where the performance comes from?
