I've seen clips on videotape of The Who and a few more from the sixties and have wanted to know if anybody here has an episode guide. Do all of them exist? Looks like It's another potential goldmine of pop tv that has not been looked at properly yet. Dave

There's a wonderful sequence from Popside around 1966 where The Who have to introduce themselves in turn before each number. Among those numbers performed is My Generation. All beautifully crisp on b / w video and makes me wonder what else is in the archive.

I think Reelin' In The Years have the license to Popside material and are now slowly begining to release it via "The British Invasion" series. Personally I think French, Spanish and Australian tv could hold some interesting finds. French because they had colour shows like "Dim Dam Dom" and Australia because perhaps geographically they had trouble getting bands to perform there they may have used british footage?

What other existing European pop shows of the same vintage are out there which remain uncatalogued? As Dave Machin says, the Scandinavian archives need looking into, as well as "Hits A Gogo" from Swiss/German TV. What's left of "Top Pop" needs documenting too - there's piles of stuff on 1/2 inch apparently.

As for Holland's "Toppop" there is a huge amount of footage in Avro's archives.

There is also a Swedish pop show from the 60/70's called Opopopa. If anyone knows about this show, or remembers it, I would be interested in reading more about it.- like who appeared on it and whether each episode had a different or various artists.

I have not heard of Opopopa before I must admit. So many more pop shows out there. The Swedish archives will hold some of the best pop gold still I think. Episode guides to these shows would help identifying what acts and songs we are talking about.
I am interested too that Bob says Reeling in the years have the rights to release Popside material. Is that exclusive Bob? I have toyed with the idea of buying the British Invasion sets but haven't done so yet. Are these sets completely taken from Popside programmes? Just wondering. They look like quality releases. Can anyone who has bought them give a rough rundown on contents and quality? Thanks.
Sorry this is a bit off topic for a Beat Beat Beat thread!

I have three of the four British Invasion DVDs, Dusty Springfield, The Small Faces & Herman's Hermits. Footage is taken from various sources such as Popside, Ed Sullivan Show, A night with Burt Bacharach, Colour me Pop etc and various other European shows. The audio has been overdubbed and the end product is very good and is similar to the Dutch BR DVD compilations.

Thanks Nic. I will probably invest in the Small Faces one first as they do sound very good. I hope they expand this series and bring out more British Invasion groups such as The Kinks, The Zombies, The Animals and The Yardbirds. All of them groups that have not yet had a decent dvd set covering them properly.
