Many editions of Top of the Pops from 1964-1977 were wiped or never recorded before June 1967.
If you have any editions or inserts from any editions, can you please consider forwarding them (or a copy of your master recordings) to: Dick Fiddy (at the BFI) or Christopher Perry (at Kaleidoscope)?
Many viewers would benefit from editions and inserts that currently only exist outside the BBC, both visual/sound and audio only recordings of Top of the Pops, which could then be archived for future transmissions, including on archive programmes like TOTP 2 and music documentaries where little or no coverage of Top of the Pops is available for the artists/songs/instrumentals in question.
Dick and Christopher are both actively involved in “Missing Believed Wiped”, which focuses on retrieving, restoring and archiving lost material that was never recorded or once was but was then subsequently wiped.
Your help could make all the difference for the future of the archives of Top of the Pops, and indeed any (music) programme.
Here is one of a set of files on Top of the Pops performances, in several cases with links.
Please advise me of anything you know, including any incorrect information.
*= Owned at the British Film Institute (BFI) - ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/series/14539
Very likely complete editions, but not stated to verify

Joe Dolan-You're Such a Good Looking Woman - 12/03/70 (Jimmy Savile): Performance

Subjective as to whether she is dancing to Paul McCartney-Another Day (1971), but the end of the song has been edited together with two copies, switching over of the same track
Logically, this would be from the second Christmas edition, but as this is a rehearsal, it could be from a different date
“Top of the Pops 69” Part 2?
youtube.com/watch?v=Nfy207Z-tYQ - Young lady dances to The Archies-Sugar Sugar (Rehearsal)
26/12/69? (Alan Freeman, Tony Blackburn): Disc
Vocal backings from The Ladybirds (1:06-1:13)
Logically, this would be from the second Christmas show, but unconfirmed, as being a rehearsal, it may be from a completely different date
If you have any editions or inserts from any editions, can you please consider forwarding them (or a copy of your master recordings) to: Dick Fiddy (at the BFI) or Christopher Perry (at Kaleidoscope)?
Many viewers would benefit from editions and inserts that currently only exist outside the BBC, both visual/sound and audio only recordings of Top of the Pops, which could then be archived for future transmissions, including on archive programmes like TOTP 2 and music documentaries where little or no coverage of Top of the Pops is available for the artists/songs/instrumentals in question.
Dick and Christopher are both actively involved in “Missing Believed Wiped”, which focuses on retrieving, restoring and archiving lost material that was never recorded or once was but was then subsequently wiped.
Your help could make all the difference for the future of the archives of Top of the Pops, and indeed any (music) programme.
Here is one of a set of files on Top of the Pops performances, in several cases with links.
Please advise me of anything you know, including any incorrect information.
