There are four TOTP performances by The Hollies on their "Dutch Collection" DVD !!!  "Just One Look" (The booklet says it is from 01/01/1964, this can't be true however, as the song was recorded & mixed at Abbey Road on 27/01/1964, so I think it's more likely from 04/03/1964 !!) "Gasoline Alley Bred" (15/10/1970) "The Day That Curly Billy Shot Down Crazy Sam McGee" (27/09/1973) "Hollidaze" (10/08/1981) Regards, Oliver.  |

Yes, the 01/01/64 date for Just One Look is not correct (that was edition 1 of TOTP and the number didn't feature in this). I notice a bit of doctoring on this song on the DVD as a "still" frame has very obviously been inserted in a couple of places (possibly to hide a cutaway to a TOTP presenter or something that couldn't be cleared?). The set relies a bit too heavily on promo films for my liking - especially when there is a huge amount of interesting actual TV material of The Hollies that remains unseen, including a lot on colour VT back to the '60s - but it's a good DVD all the same.

Remember that bizarre black-and-white "from VHS" version of Black Sabbath's "Never Say Die" that turned up on one of their videos, dispite the original surviving in broadcast quality?
Also, one of the Blondie DVDs has the Xmas 79 performances of "Sunday Girl" and "Dreaming".

A couple more -
Supremes DVD - "Reflections" has the 1964 performance from TOTP of "Baby Love"
The BR Music DVD "Best Of Motown" (was removed from sale shortly after release in 2006 by the Dutch company due to copyright issues with Universal) - has Stevie Wonder "Uptight" which is still the only surviving TOTP performance from 1966!!

There are a few others from 1966 although - apart from the Cliff Richard insert for Visions - they don't seem to reside at the BBC. There are inserts for The Walker Bros. (Baby, You Don't Have To Tell Me), The Kinks (Sunny Afternoon) and Manfred Mann (Semi-Detatched Suburban Mr.James) to name three from memory that are definitely out there.

Would I be right in thinking the Kinks performance of 'Sunny Afternoon' on 'Top of the Pops' made a brief appearence on You Tube and before it was removed.

They aren't on anything official, no. Brett remarked that Uptight was the only existing 1966 TOTP clip and I pointed out that there were a few others too (that are known about but not residing in the archives, of course).

The Four Seasons "Jersey Boys" DVD (came as a bonus with the 3 CD Boxed Set when released in the USA a year or two ago) came with 2 TOTP performances from the rare 25/02/71 studio-only show - "Let's Hang On" & "I've Got You Under My Skin" are both included in full.

There are numerous TOTP performances on the various compiles which BR Music Holland were involved with in recent years - virtually all of these DVD's are now deleted but I am sure copies can be located around the traps still.
"Remember The Sixties Volume 4" - BR Music BD3013-9 contains
Steve & Albert "Follow The Bouncing Ball" from 26/02/70
(As Well as The Hollies "He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother" from Pop Goes the Sixties 31/12/69 if this qualifies?)
"Remember The Seventies" Volume 4 - BR Music BD3015-9 contains Joe Dolan "I Need You" from 01/09/77
Dave Dee Dozy Beaky Mick & Tich Greatest Hits BR Music BD3010-9 contains -
Zabadak - 26/12/67
Legend of Xanadu - 15/02/68
My Womans Man (Dave Dee) - 26/02/70
Tremeloes Greatest Hits BR Music BD3011-9 contains "Silence Is Golden" from Pop Goes The Sixties 31/12/69
Brotherhood Of Man's Greatest Hits Br Music BD-3018-9 contains "United We Stand" from 29/01/70, "Beautiful Lover" from 08/06/78, ""Middle Of The Night" from 21/09/78, and "Goodbye Goodbye" from 04/01/79
10CC "Donna" was released by Universal 982 939-1 amd contains "Rubber Bullets" from 25/12/73, and "Life Is A Minestrone" from 10/04/75
Roger Whittaker's "New World In The Morning" was released by Universal and has "The Last Farewell" from 24/07/75
The Osmonds "Crazy Horses" was released by Universal 983-436-3 and has Little Jimmy Osmond "Long Haired Lover From Liverpool" from 25/12/73
There is also the Testament De Sixties and Testament De Seventies CD/DVD Boxed Sets, the 40 Jaar Top 40 series of DVD's from the 60's and 70's and quite a few other CD/DVD sets all released in association with BR Music and in Holland only with many TOTP performances scattered throughout - I will list all these once I can locate them in my library - I am just too disorganised at the moment.
The work of Bert Von Breda at BR Music in getting all this material licensed and out there has been absolutely sensational and proves once and for all that it CAN be done - whilst the rest of the civilised music world has their collective heads in the sand - hello - anybody home??
