These uploads for a 63 year old are gold, thank you sir.

Thank goodness the Sweet's "Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho Co-Co" steel drums bat guano never made it to the States. In the 70s, I subscribed to "Melody Maker." I was surprised how much divergence there was between the U.S. and U.K. charts. This buttresses that conclusion.

Great seeing the Strawbs with Wakeman again.

[@GarryWootton]

Yes.

Je viens de m'abonner à ta chaîne. Dommage qu'en France, nous n'ayons pas de vidéos complètes de ce genre d'émissions qui rappellent de bons souvenirs. Ces shows sont de véritables trésors culturels, et pouvoir revivre ces moments permet non seulement de célébrer les artistes de l'époque, mais aussi de faire découvrir aux jeunes générations la richesse des émissions musicales des années 60 et 70. Merci pour ce travail de préservation. J'espère que d'autres vidéos de ce type seront publiées pour continuer à partager ces moments uniques !

100% agree. TOTP captures a snapshot of music and fashion at the given time better than anything else I can think of.

[@kevhill8106]

These are great videos - obviously, but every one of them so far have included an appearance from 'that monster' whose name is too sickening to mention. He casts such a vile shadow. If only he could be blotted out somehow.

Johnny Pearson gets request - today John we are going to need 3 steel drum players. John : err, not sure if we have 3 with the musicians union - will 1 do and ask your mate for 2 from up the road at notting hill ( which makes me wonder when chinn-chapman sourced them from )

Come on girls someone must recognise themselves in the clips .

[@waccypeet]

Jimmy Savile intro is silent !!

[@tonycritcher3419]

Good, it was bad enough to see him!

[@ZenCat-24]

Savile is a hideous nightmare making this whole thing unwatchable... that and most of the music is awful.

[@christown2827]

Really with Three Dog Night, Family and the Strawbs with Rick Wakeman on Keyboards.

[@buckfaststradler4629]

@@christown2827 They were among the worst - the singer in family sounded like a sheep in labour !
