Do you have show no. 8, 1965 (Merseybeats; Alexis Korners Blues Incorporated; Beatles; Marty Wilde; Freddie & The Dreamers) and show no. 11, 1965 (Alexis Korner; Tony Rivers & The Castaways; Swinging Blue Jeans; Matt Monro; Johnny Spence) by any chance and if so, would you share it? Thanks a lot in advance.
Don't think I have those two no, sorry! Like I said i was mostly trying to assemble all the ones the Beatles appear in. I will share what I have though.

No problem. There's a lot to enjoy within the next couple of days (weeks) anyway. I almost can't read and download as fast as you upload. ;)
Thankyou :D

... and then when she came back she made them essentially pretend that fifteen-twenty years of their history - when they had other lead singers - never happened.

Some of their 70s/80s material is up there with their earlier stuff. (Some of it is very much not.) Either way, it's never come close to being reissued.

Do you or anybody happen to have Crimson sole appearance singing Cat Food? The riff ressembles that of Come Together BTW.

I do!

It was a pretty great comeback, if you ask me. And it's a shame they didn't do another one.

And it was never released outside Australia so quite hard to find on CD here in the UK. Can I ask you a favour via PM Purple?

It was just re-released - and is available pretty reasonably on amazon.co.uk.

And you don't need to ask to PM, just do it :)

Sorry for derailing the thread....

Thanks for the info PC. I hadn't spotted that on Amazon...but then I'm not a fan...of Amazon that is.

I had a look and I have 29 top of the pops episodes from 1964 to 1970. I will share them later on at some point.
