March 16, 200619 yr Author I've got the Outhere Brothers album - it quickly got banned in the UK after release, and they are like gold dust now..........
March 16, 200619 yr Great list. It's a great pity that the BBC deleted many of the 60s & early 70s shows. I still have a bunch of episodes screened on UK Gold in the 90s on video. Always good to re-watch those. I wish they would show old TOTP again. TOTP2 was okay, but there's nothing like the original complete shows.
March 16, 200619 yr Author What shows have you got (and what is the picture quality like?) I have nearly 1300 shows which I am currently copying to DVD, but am always looking for stuff I haven't got.
March 16, 200619 yr What shows have you got (and what is the picture quality like?) I have nearly 1300 shows which I am currently copying to DVD, but am always looking for stuff I haven't got. A mixture of both 70s and 80s recorded on ukgold in the 90s. I haven't labeled them individually so i don't know what's on each tape. The cassettes are just labeled 'The Best of TOTP 1, The Best of TOTP 2, etc'.
