Of course, that episode isn\'t available due to Edmonds being a party-pooper.Also, it seems that this episode is edited! The TOTP2 performance database mentions a Pan\'s People performance of Typically Tropical\'s \'Barbados\' and Hot Chocolate with \'You Sexy Thing\', neither of whom appear. Thanks very much UK Gold.Torrent information--------------------Filename: TOTP 1975-12-23.aviFile size: 220MBDuration: 31m53sVideo resolution: 384x288 (897 kBit/s 2-Pass XviD) De-interlacedAudio: 48KHz 64kb/s Mono MP3Quality is good, captured from an off-air SP VHS recording.Like many programs shown on UK Gold in the 90s, this may have been edited to fit adverts in.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Top Of The Pops (11th December 1980) [VHS Rip (XviD)] Richard Skinner hosts this episode of Top Of The Pops from December of 1980. The tracklisting is as follows :- (‘v’ denotes video)Adam & The Ants – AntmusicShowaddywaddy – Blue MoonMadness – EmbarrassmentStatus Quo – LiesMatchbox – Over The RainbowPolice – De Do Do Do De Da Da Da (v)Queen – FlashStray Cats – Runaway BoysAbba – Super Trouper (v)John Lennon – Imagine (live)There’s alot going on in this episode. This weeks obligatory interview segments are with Jermaine Jackson and a rather startled looking Gary Numan who claims he’s giving up music. There’s no Legs & Co but there are three 1950s throwback acts which just proves the early 80s wasn’t all post punk and New Romantic at all. Finally, this is the first episode to be transmitted after the death of John Lennon and there’s a rather nice tribute after the ending titles have finished when the programme comes back and a live performance of ‘Imagine’ (not the usual video) is played.This recording is NOT from a UK Gold repeat. It is somebody’s home recording of the time and I suspect that due to the special Beatles connection this has come a few generations down the line. The quality is ok but it isn’t up to the usual standard, there’s a slight orange hue (see screenshots) it shouldn’t spoil your enjoyment but do be aware of it.Technical Info (from Gspot)Duration – 38m 48sFile Size – 323 MBCodec – Xvidframe Size – 640 x 480frame Rate – 25fpsBitrate - 1018kbpsAudio – MPEG 1 Layer 3Frequency – 48000HzBitrate – 135kb/sStereo- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Top Of The Pops (18th December 1980) [VHS Rip (XviD)]“The last Christmas Top of the Pops before the Christmas Top of the Pops...” says Simon Bates a bit confusedly in the penultimate TOTP of 1980. The Tracklisting looks like this :(This episode contains all studio performances, no videos)The Beat – Too Nice To Talk ToSt Winifred’s School Choir – There’s No One Quite Like GrandmaBarron Knights – Never Mind the PresentsSpecials – Do NothingGary Numan – This WreckageRobert Palmer – Looking For CluesChas & Dave – RabbitNolans – Who’s Gonna Rock You?Jona Lewie – Stop The CavalryJohn Lennon – Just Like Starting Over (Legs & Co)St Winifreds, Barron Knights and an interview with Little and Large? What had we done to deserve this? Fortunately the episode redeems itself with an excellent Specials performance (check out the Xmas jumpers!) a first play for the now ubiquitous ‘Stop The Cavalry’ and Robert Palmer in what can only be described as a leather suit (!)Quality is very good taken from a UK Gold repeat. As with with all UK Gold broadcasts it may be edited from original transmission.Technical Info (From Gspot)Duration – 38m 25sFile Size – 348MBCodec – XviDframe Size – 640 x 480frame Rate – 25fpsBitrate – 1118 kbpsAudio – MPEG 1 Layer 3Frequency – 48000HzBitrate - 136kb/sStereo- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Top Of The Pops Christmas Special (25 December 1980) [VHS Rip (XviD)]..“All these toys and Leo Sayer too..”Possibly my favourite episode of TOTP as Peter Powell and Jimmy Saville basically eat their way through the greatest hits of the year. Which are as follows (‘v’ denotes video):-The Nolans – I’m In The Mood For DancingDexy’s Midnight Runners – GenoBlondie – Atomic (v)Paul McCartney – Coming Up (v)Barbara Streisand – Woman In Love (Legs & Co)Liquid Gold – Dance Yourself DizzyDavid Bowie – Ashes To Ashes (v)Marti Webb – Take That Look Off Your FacePolice – Don’t Stand So Close To Me (v)Abba – Super Trouper (v)Lipps Inc.- Funkytown (Legs & Co)Leo Sayer – More Than I Can SaySheena Easton – 9 to 5Pink Floyd – Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2) (v)St Winifred’s School Choir – There’s No One Quite Like GrandmaQuality is very good taken from a UK Gold Repeat. There is a slight issue with crackly sound for the first minute or two but it’s corrected itself by the end of The Nolans. This is an issue with the original satellite recording and not my encoding. As with all Uk Gold repeats, programme may be edited from original transmission.Technical Info (from Gspot)Duration – 51m 19sFile Size – 349MBCodec – XviDframe Size – 640 x 480frame Rate – 25fpsBitrate – 806 kbpsAudio – MPEG 1 Layer 3Frequency – 48000HzBitrate – 132 kb/sStereo- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Top Of The Pops Xmas Special (25th December 1981) [VHS Rip (XviD)]Presented by – The Radio 1 D.J’s (specifically Jimmy Saville, Kid Jensen, Tony Blackburn, John Peel, DLT, Adrian Juste, Simon Bates, Andy Peebles,Paul Burnett, Paul Gambaccini, Steve Wright, Peter Powell, Richard Skinner, Tommy Vance, Mike Reid)An excellent show containing the following tracks (all are studio performances. No videos!)Teardrop Explodes – RewardUltravox – ViennaKim Wilde – Kids In AmericaHuman League – Love ActionGodley & Cream – Under Your ThumbKirsty McColl – There’s A Guy Works Down The Chipshop Swears He’s ElvisDave Stewart w/ Colin Blunstone – What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted?Jacksons – Can You Feel It? (danced by Zoo)Linx – IntuitionThe Beat – Too Nice To Talk ToSpandau Ballet – I Don’t Need This Pressure OnToyah – It’s A MysteryLaurie Anderson – O Superman (Zoo)Altered Images – Happy BirthdayDepeche Mode – I Just Can’t Get EnoughOMD – SouvenirShakin’ Stevens – You Drive Me CrazyRadio 1 D.J’s – All You Need Is Love (!)Although the tracklisting of this episode speaks for itself, there’s still some points that need to be mentioned. Firstly it contains John Peel’s return to the show after an apparantly disasterous attempt back in the 60s. Secondly Ultravox’s performance of ‘Vienna’ in which Midge Ure appears to be wearing bondage gear (see picture) and finally the truly jaw dropping interpretation of ‘O Superman’ by Zoo in which a high court judge dances around pulsating pods. I’m not making any of this up!The quality of this episode, although excellent on tape pixellated quite badly when encoded. I re-encoded it at a higher bitrate (hence the slightly bigger file size than normal) and although perfectly watchable, you might find it slightly blockier than normal, for this I can only apologise. On the positive side it’s NOT a Uk Gold repeat which means it won’t be edited in any way!Technical Info (from Gspot)Duration – 58m 46sFile Size – 498MBCodec – XviDframe Size – 640 x 480frame rate – 25fpsBitrate – 1040 kbpsAudio – MPEG 1 Layer 3Frequency – 48000HzBitrate – 133kb/sStereo- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Top Of the Pops-Christmas Day 1984 [VHSRip (XVID)]Description Another episode of TOTP ripped from a VHS my haording husband has kept all these years.Again the quality is as good as you\'d expect from a tape of this vintage.One other thing on the quality, this was a typical VHS recording so the beginning and end are slightly abrupt, but none of the actual programme is lost.Also the sound is slightly muffled for about 45 seconds in the middle of the first song, after that it\'s fine.All the acts are live in the studio except for Wham/George Michael.this includes virtually all the members of Band Aid. There are no presenters, each act is announced by the preceeding artist.The artists featured areFrankie Goes to Hollywood: Two tribesHoward Jones; what Is love?Duran duran: The ReflexNik Kershaw: I Won\'t let the Sun Go Down On MeCulture Club: War SongThompson Twins Doctor, DoctorJim Diamond: I Should Have Known BetterWham: Wake Me Up Before You GoPaul Young: Love Of The Common PeopleDuran Duran: Wild BoysGeorge Michael: Careless WhisperFrankie Goes To Hollywood: The Power Of loveThompson Twins YouFrankie Goes To Hollywood: Relaxand of course as it was 1984Band Aid: Do They Know It\'s Christmas?-see a very tired looking Bob Geldof sheepishly grooving down.=== File Information ===File Name: TOTP Christmas Day 1984.aviDuration: 00:58:20 (87,495 fr)File Size: 465 MB (or 476,302 KB or 487,733,248 bytes) bytes=== Video Information ===Video Codec Name: XviDVideo Bitrate: 970 kb/sBits / Pixel: 0.217 bits/pixelResolution: 560x320 (1.75:1) [=7:4]Frames Per Second: 25.000 fps=== Audio Information ===Audio Codec: 0x0055(MP3) ID\'d as MPEG-1 Layer 3Audio Bitrate: 136 kb/s (68/ch, stereo) VBR LAME3.90.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Top Of The Pops - Christmas Special 1984 - Part 2 (27th December 1984) [VHSRip (XviD)Nowadays we’re lucky to get a Top of The Pops Christmas special at all, but back in the day we had two so here is the second Christmas special broadcast 27.12.84.
