One canoe in exchange for a radio cassette. Worthwhile swap indeed….😂

Buggles. The best one-hit wonder's song of all time for me.

Can't Believe after all these years I still remember the phone number. Actually found my Swap Shop scarf the Other day.

Marvellous to see Trevor Horn. The man who invented the eighties! Stuart Hall. Ugh.

[@HenryWaltonJones]

Dodgy Stuart Hall

[@malcolmmclindon9582]

Must have been the start of a new season for Swap Shop (1979-1980) as Noel,s desk and back walls are free of viewers pictures.

[@neilogden]

He says it is the first show of the series at the start of the Stuart Hall phone in.

[@ZeldaFitz]

Is that Warren Cann from ultravox on drums?

[@luisramirezclaver8022]

[@jasonwhitehurst4508]

[@bottletree33]

Oh Keith Chegwin. 60 cigarettes a day habit wow.

[@eatmywords]

can't say i'm surprised. noel edmunds's boot boy.

Stuart Hall in the peak of his kiddy fiddling. Operation Yew Tree hasn’t been completed yet, there are a few on this film that are in need of some research.

Ripeto la domanda in italiano: Judy Bennet, quella donna scialba e mascolina dalla felpa rosa, cosa c'entrava coi Buggles?

[@andyhunt99]

That’s a different version of Video Killed the Radio Star to the one we’re all used to. The drum fills differ, and the backing vocals, and there are some other subtleties that aren’t in the ‘normal’ version. Interesting…

[@jasfan8247]

Yes, quantum ears. Maybe it has to do with bbc union regulations. Music had to be re-recorded with bbc musicians for tv. That'e why bands like Queen send in videos early on....🚬

[@andyhunt99]

@@jasfan8247 Hi Jas. I see what you are saying but the differences are more subtle than a re-recording for BBC. I think it's an earlier mix before the official release version.

[@jasfan8247]

@@andyhunt99 Well, i have to dig it up, take a close listen again to hear those changes. Now you made me more curious. Thxs🥕

[@80ssynthfan48]

@@andyhunt99 I was thinking the same thing.

[@ZeldaFitz]

Definitely differences from the single release, synths and drums are subtly different in places.
