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 I can't say about some of the other stuff you list but if there is a Donna clip on a DVD compilation, it almost certainly won't be from TOTP as no clips of this song are known to exist from there (although several performances do exist from European TV, which this is more than likely from). I think the DDDBM&T Legend Of Zanadu TOTP clip hasn't been released on anything as yet, as far as I know, so this is probably the Beat Club performance (I have that particular DVD myself so will have to take a look and report back!) One other clip you forgot was The Kinks: Autumn Almanac from TOTP was featured on Remember The Sixties V.3 (it doesn't reside with the BBC though and must exist in a European archive). Also, a similar TOTP appearance for The Kinks: Wonderboy has been released on another DVD compilation, as this one exists outside the BBC too. Does anyone know the title of the DVD this is on? If nothing else, i've had it in my mind to get it myself if I could recall the title!

Sorry for the confusion Laurence, - I listed "Donna" as the title of the DVD itself but the performance is from Hits a Go Go or one of those European shows - definitely not TOTP as you noted.
Legend of Xanadu is definitely TOTP but the "live" vocal of Dave Dee has been replaced with the soundtrack direct from the record, with a bit of clever tinkering from BR's engineers as well I might add. The Beat Club clip is also on the same DVD. There is a staggering 47 DDDBMT performances on this one DVD counting all the extras - all UK & European archives seem to have been dug out to compile this one - superb value for all the true DDDBMT fans!!
Some more TOTP performances -
Top 40 1965-1974 CD/DVD set BR Music/Universal 530 661-2
Has Edison Lighthouse "Love Grows" from TOTP 05/02/70, White Plains "My Baby Loves Lovin" from 26/02/70, T Rex "Metal Guru" from 28/12/72, & Kiki Dee "Amourouse" from 15/11/73.
The original "live" performance audio for Edison Lighthouse, White Plains & Kiki Dee has been replaced with audio direct from the original recordings in the usual expert manner, but probably detracts a bit in the uniqueness of the TOTP versions of the songs - I can say that the vision is in great condition though, which makes it doubly sad that the 26/02/70 episode was not recently re-screened on Einsfestival. I am not sure why it was not as there is no issue with audio drop-outs, mute links or anything like that. If the Dave Clark Five performance had licensing issues then that could have been left off surely?
This 27-track DVD has all kinds of weird & wonderful musical performances from the UK by the way, with the likes of the Basil Brush Show, Russel Harty, OGWT, Tremeloes "Doing Their Thing", The Vera Lyn show, Disco 2, BBC "In Concert" series, Roger Whittaker's ""World Of Music" and "Get Away With Cliff" TV specials. It is amazing what BR can come up with!!

I have an All About Eve box set here with a few TOTP performances included on the DVD bonus disc, including the infamous "Martha's Harbour" clip from 4-8-88!

A couple more - 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!! The booklet says it's the performance from 18-12-1965, though many dates in the booklet are obviously wrong. There are some more TOTP clips on this DVD: R. Dean Taylor - Indiana Wants Me (Promo) 29-04-1971; the original audio has been replaced by the longer cd version, thus the video was stretched (slowed down) to make it longer Michael Jackson & The Jackson 5 - Rockin' Robin 28-12-1972 Gladys Knight - Help Me Make It Through The Night B/W 16-11-1972 (?) Billy Preston & Syreeta - With You I'm Born Again 01-03-1980 (?) Unfortunately, the accompanying booklet contains many mistakes. It lists several performances as Top Of The Pops, although they are clearly from other sources. The most obvious example is Diana Ross - I'm Still Waiting which has to be a *much* later live version. I also doubt that Jackson 5 - I Want You Back is from TOTP as stated (14-02-1970 is wrong anyway).

12-02-1970 may have been an existing date of a TOTP show, but afaik there's no surviving Jackson 5 performance from that show. A promo of I want you back was shown on 26-02-1970 and I thought I had a copy of it somewhere but can't find it at the moment. However, I'm pretty sure that was not the clip which is included on the "Best of Motown" DVD.

"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"??
I agree some of the BR DVDs are fantastic, many have had their audio overdubbed and many have been remasted by 'The Van' studios in Holland. I have the 1965-1966 up to 1999-2000 series which are excellent, I would like the Testament van de Sixties and Testament van de Seventies box sets but the price is still too high for me! I can also clear up the 10cc 'Donna' misunderstanding earlier in the thread because I have that DVD! The 10cc DVD compilation is called 'Donna' the bands performance of Donna on the DVD is from a show (I think Dutch) called 'Eddy Ready Go (17th January 1973).
