If you seek copies of Sounds from early 1977 (no, I don't know why), you'd find one has a lead letter from me in it. Readers had been moaning that TOTP was ignoring punk. My letter was saying that it was pointless expecting TOTP to do anything other than its job, to play what was in the charts, and punk hadn't been, then. I moaned about OGWT, which was supposed to be the alternative, and this was ignoring punk.

I have the double dvd and its utterly marvellous - lots of beautifully shot great performances, also I just love Bob Harris' conspiratorial whisper.

This is a little silly, but it gives a good idea of the vaguely spooky, very 70's British tv atmosphere in the studio: the bits from 6.33 look straight out of a sci-fi movie!

Found the first two volumes of this in a 2/$10 bin today. I've been skipping around a bit, and recognize Bob Harris and Richard Williams from that old Paul Gambaccini Top 200 book.

That Beefheart clip is always on Whistle Test comps. Kind of sticks out like a sore thumb in a sea of badfinger boogie and prog in shiny lapels.
