Last weeks we've been able to get rare videos that (some of us) thought we'd never seen.
These are:
Beat Club 1969 (with Micky, Martin, Clive, Jeff and Ray),
Peter Sikh program (with Micky, Martin and Pugwash),
The two Ronnies performance (with Micky) and the
1992 Welsh Convention from Feltham Rox.
It seems good times to try to get more material so I thought it could be a good idea to write about them in this forum...
This should be the better place to try to get more material. Years are passing and everyday is harder to get any of this material. The later the harder to get them.
Reading TWC first numbers we can see an incredible list of MAN appearances on TV.
Here you have the scans of eight TWC pages with the TV archive (uploaded with the permission of the author) so you can read what I'm talking about if you don't know it:

For me, to get these two would be incredible:
Old grey whistle test BBC TV 1973, 15 minutes
"Ain't their fight" and "Life on the road"
Filmed at Golders Green Hippodrome at the same time as recording a Radio One in Oncert programme in October 1973.
Line-up: Micky Jones, Terry Williams, Phil Ryan, Will Youatt and Tweke Lewis.
"New horizons" BBC TV 1974 (approx 25 minutes)
Performed: Back into the future demo and recording plus various interviews and other footage.......there is footage of the band recording at Olympic Studios in Barnes.....there are also snatches of live footage of the band and shots of the cover photograph of the BITF album being taken at Taplow railway station in Berkshire.
Line-up: Micky Jones, Terry Williams, Phil Ryan and Will Youatt.
Apart from TWC numbers 8-9-10-12 we can read this in TWC 2 from 1991, pag 6:
The band were filmed at Brixton Academy in 1989 when they played at a Robert Calvert benefit, but this has yet to emerge. WTF should we do to get these videos? Should the owners die without sharing them or at least selling them?
Is Mr. BBC reading this forum? Does anybody have a nephew who has a cousin of a friend who works in the BBC?
List of more-or-less official videos we can find/buy/borrow/swap/download/ask/get or watch in Youtube:
Beat Club 1969 (2:30 definitely and Brother Arnold)

DVD Xmas at the Patti 2004
DVD Live at the Rex 2005

It's few video material for 40 years, don't you think? What happen with 1972/1974 and 1984/2003 eras?
If you have any of these videos I can convert them to DVD. For free.
