Now at the BBC: Christmas 1969 – Presumed to be 25/12/69: Very likely the broadcasted version, as the rehearsal versions are probably much rarer and someone owns a rehearsal edition of the first Christmas show If these both exist I wonder where they were found and who had them? ljones |

Is Rosetta Stone’s song a version of the Cream song Sunshine of Your Love? Yes it is, although despite evidence to the contrary I could swear blind that the track they performed on TOTP was "(If Paradise Is) Half As Nice", I was only 9 at the time though so my memory may have let me down. |

If it's any help, the only time I remember seeing Rosetta Stone on TOTP was when they performed 'Sunshine Of Your Love'.
I think they may have done 'If Paradise Is Half As Nice' on the Arrows show or something like that.

I have your book, but I'd thought this must be an omission; I stand corrected. As you know but for the benefit of other readers I have found about 3 or 4 omissions in the book which I believe to be corrected in the forthcoming new edition. I'm not being critical, the few omissions I have found are insignificant given the amount of information provided in the book. Now if only I could find those audio tapes, hopefully I left some linking material on there that could identify the source.
What do the © and ® mean in the list above by the way?

Thanks. I must have seen one of these performances and my memory let me down believing it was TOTP. IIRC it was too late in the year (Oct-Nov) to have been on the 08/09/77 show. I remember taping the track (audio only) so if the tape ever shows up it might help me identify the programme. My old tapes were left behind at my parents' house when I moved out and have failed to turn up in 2 searches of said property. I would have also had "Sunshine Of Your Love" as the bulk of 08/09/77 was on one of these tapes. They were a boyband similar to Child/Dead End Kids,Bay City Rollers |

ah © and ® (not in the book btw, its my TOTP Database code) mean the edition exists in © complete and ® reconstructed (in part) through surviving footage
although in my old mate Mark Leech's databases ® means the recording exists. (in my case its all colour coded to spot what exists a lot quicker)

Post by Mark Leech on Jan 19, 2009 16:54:13 GMT
® in my list denotes a repeat performance. * denotes a surviving clip from a 'wiped' show.
Hope the audio of 8-9-77 turns up!
Regards
Mark
