I haven't itemised the contents by name but The Tremeloes performed Blue Suede Tie. I can't recall the Christie track offhand (I expect someone here can) but it wasn't one of their hits. John Pantry was the other performing act. There was a clip from a Barbara Streisand film (song clip) featured in the show too.

Oh yes, I remember it; 'On A Clear Day You Can See Forever' with Babs & Yves Montand. I must admit it's all a bit of a blur after 7 hours viewing! Cheers, Laurence

John Vincent - all info from pop programmes is useful! So feel free to share it. ok thanks will do...I can correct the episode for 26th April 1972 which went as follows: Walking Through The Blue Grass - Staveley Makepiece (aka Lt Pigeon) American Pie - Don McLean I Can't Help Myself - Donnie Elbert The Lion Sleeps Tonight - Dave Newman OKLAHOMA (no further info) Gypsies Tramps & Thieves - Ayshea brough Sister Jane - New World Radancer - Marmalade I guess Donnie Elbert & Marmalade both had dancers, though Marmalade were usually available for TV in those days. Donnie Elbert I dont recall ever appearing on UK TV despite 3 hits. New World were also usually available for any variety show TV... cheers! john |

Wow - have I read this correctly? You kept notes from way back then?
If so then bless you ! Gives me hope that more missing shows and incomplete information will surface.

Yes, I'm kind of a chart obsessive, and I had just back from Singapore (RAF brat) and the UK music scene was exploding with excitement so I wrote all sorts of stuff down, stuff I heard on the radio, Top Of The Pops appearances 1972, BBC chart, radio Luxembourg charts, my own charts (I started compiling my own charts in 1968 and haven't stopped!) - some of these are on popchartfreak.wordpress to view:) I'm not sure I have any more Lift Off notes, and I didnt record any of them or TOTP, but I do have a Fluff Freeman show from the summer and lots of his end of show chart rundowns. |

John, You didn't record the sound on these by any chance? sadly not, but I wish I had! And the missing TOTP's! It's an ongoing source of grief to me that the years I most want to see are those that were wiped. Another show I loved was The Dave Cash show, he had some good stuff too.. |

Thanks Laurence, yes I mean his TV show, there were some gems on it - he (or his family) should try and get some cash, ahem, out of it, copyright permitting, before we all get too old. I guess copyright anyway ends in 2021...maybe. |
