Hello Again,
I have yet to check officially,but as far as I can tell these items appear to be missing.
I was conducting some searching into library collections when I discovered a few items of interest that caught my eye.On the UNC library database,from The Louis Round Wilson Special Collections Library was a collection of materials of George Hamilton IV.A massive amount of material in this particular collection it appears here 2,300 items!!What caught my interest were a few items listed in the A/V section of this collection.Here is the basic overview presented on the site for this collection:
Country musician and native North Carolinian George Hamilton IV was born on 19 July 1937. In 1956, while a student at the University of North Carolina, Hamilton recorded the song "A Rose and a Baby Ruth" for Colonial Records, a local label. From that recording, Hamilton went on make the transition to country music. He soon became a mainstay at the Grand Ole Opry and, through his work abroad, eventually became known as the International Ambassador of Country Music. The collection includes audiovisual materials, papers, posters, and photographs pertaining to the life and career of George Hamilton IV. Audio recordings consist of audio cassettes, open reel recordings, and transcription disc recordings of performances, interviews, radio shows, and an early recording session, all featuring Hamilton. Included are recordings of the BBC's How the West Was Sung; Country Crossroads; The Ralph Emery Show ; a recording of Hamilton's first performance at the Grand Ole Opry; a 1956 recording session at Colonial Records; interviews for BBC Radio and Radio Scotland; and other recorded performances and interviews. Also in the collection is a demo tape of "Gentle on My Mind" by John Hartford. Visual materials include films and videotapes of television shows and promotional spots from the United States, Great Britain, and Canada. Papers consist of newspaper clippings, press releases and other promotional materials, programs, correspondence, posters, and other materials pertaining to Hamilton's career. Photographs consist of both professional and candid photographs of George Hamilton IV, his family and friends, and associated musicians and music industry professionals, including David Allan, Chet Atkins, Jiri Brabec, Charles Chilton, Jim Clark, Patsy Cline, Mervyn Conn, Clarence Count, Country Express, Skeeter Davis, Pat Derry, Bruce Eller, Connie B. Gay, Walt Grealis, Rolf Harris, The Hillsiders, Frank Ifield, Gordon Lightfoot, John D. Loudermilk, Loretta Lynn, Miki & Griff, Jimmy Moore, Anne Murray, Olivia Newton-John, Jack Rodgers, Slim Whitman, Wally Whyton, and Paul Yandell.
Here is the link to the Library George Hamilton IV Collection Contents,a most interesting read as well,some amazing items had compiled there:
www.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv/h/Hamilton,George_IV.html#d1e4698
Here are the mentioned BBC-TV items of note:
Videotape VT-20410/2
BBC Video, George Hamilton IV, PROG I; Spool Number 602; 17 October 1973. 1/2 inch video (Scotch 361)
Videotape VT-20410/3
BBC Video, George Hamilton IV, 24 October 1973; recording number SHIB 87709; reel PROG 2. 1/2 inch video (Scotch 361)
Videotape VT-20410/5
BBC Video, George Hamilton IV, 11/14/1973; spool Number 65, recording 87708; 14 November 1973. 1/2 inch video (Scotch 361)
As this lists these recordings as being Scotch type tape,is very good news there.As know in regards to Scotch open reel video recordings having a good reputation for exellent playback and durability!
This was taken from lostshows.com for "George Hamilton IV and Other Folk"(BBC-TV,1973/1974):
17.10.73 with Ralph McTell, The Rovers, Des Lane, Roy Warhurst (missing)
24.10.73 with Jake Thackray, Fivepenny Piece, Tommy & David Reilly (missing)
14.11.73 with Friday Brown, King's Singers, The Wurzels (missing)
These were also listed,but was unable to ascertain any further details.Although,would hope may be two further editions of this series.A proper playback of these would be required there.Here is the listing for these two other items:
Videotape VT-20410/6
BBC Video, George Hamilton IV; spool number H601; recording number SHIB 87763. 1/2 inch video (Scotch 361)
Videotape VT-20410/7 BBC Video, George Hamilton IV; spool number H637; recording number SHIB 87779 ED. 1/2 inch video (Scotch 361)
This listing states Scotch 361 for the 1/2in video make,however am wondering if that SHIB prefix may be leaning toward Shibaden brand of video?Interesting.Again further research there is clearly required.
This compilation tape on a VHS and another on U-Matic featuring various European (as listed) TV performances looked interesting.Might anyone have any idea if the clips listed there for the UK shows might be known to exist by the way?Any assistance or info would be much appreciated there in regards.
Videotape VT-20410/14 Various European television Appearances, 1969-1985
RCA Tour, 1969; BBC-TV Snape Maltings, 1976; BBC-TV Littlewood, 1978; Country Time , Germany, 1980; Wembley, 1982; Belfast, 1984; Peterborough, 1985. VHS
And (As nothing really is listed there for that item,am left wondering what material they may be referring to there,Interesting indeed.Again,a playback would be all is needed there to ascertain any further details there)
Videotape VT-20410/10 George Hamilton IV, Excerpts from various TV appearances: interviews, chats, performances (some musical). U-Matic SP
Am very interested to hear what is thought in regards to this discovery.
Hopefully,we can change that number to 6 missing episodes instead of 9.Out of the 12 episodes made this would be a tremendous find for this short lived series.
Cheers,Lance.
