I'm searching, so is my BBC mole. Extensive copyright problems seems to be the main cause of its non appearence over the years - and money.

In April 1978 Chrysalis issued the single “Moths” in the UK, complete with a picture sleeve. It was intended that the B side was to be the song “Beltane” but this was changed at the last minute and “Life Is A Long Song” replaced it. A few copies show “Beltane” on the label but they are extremely rare and in any case all play “Life Is A Long Song“. “Beltane” was eventually issued on the 1988 box set. The very rare "Beltane" label. Note the same catalogue no. CHS 2214 on all three labels. Photo courtesy of Mark Collins. The Irish pressing of "Moths"/"Life Is A Long Song" was on ebay recently with the "Beltane" label on the LIALS side. Alas my pockets at this time of year were not deep enough but below is a scan of the label.

Going back to where it all began, this is from Mojo (1995) O man the stuff you find Graham. Not a bad song at all, I think it was originally a cool little tune by a guy name Rufus Thomas, mid sixties, may be remembering either name wrong. Covered by lots of people, not surprised Ian was playing it in those years, though it would seem out of character to any of their albums, even This Was began to have their singular imprint, though it was largely blues. Funny story, but only because those guys did not catch them, of course an element of bikers not to be f**ked with, unless you too are an expert at kicking ass! I was at a Dead show at the Kaiser in Oakland in 85 when they busted this out, as well as another period R and B piece, Big Boy Pete mainly played in their earlist years. In fact Big Boy Pete had not been played since 66, they opened the show with it, and somebody in the row was able to quote the last date of its having been played. Fanaticism almost too far!

Spirit did a funky/psychedelic version of 'Walkin' the Dog' on a live album recorded in 1976 called 'Spirit of '76' You want obscure?

If it was ever recorded, the tapes were probably re-used for subsequent programmes which was the policy at that time by many TV companies. Look forward to reading and sharing your views of the band. MD/Graham

Interesting email question and reply in the latest edition of The Radio Times here in the UK.
When footage of David Bowie performing Jean Genie in 1973 on Top of the Pops turned up a couple of years back, the cameraman who owned it mentioned he had some other stuff. What was it? I've heard nothing since. Gordon Barclay, via email
John Henshall, the BBC cameraman concerned, tells RT that in the 1970s when he worked on TOTP, he'd invented a new fisheye lens for his camera and asked for a videotape of the Bowie performance, which he then carefully kept. It proved to be the only remaining broadcast- quality copy. But he thinks criticism of the BBC for wiping tapes is unfair, as TOTP was a show about current hits, and the tapes were too expensive not to re-use. Henshall has 800 tapes of a whole range of TV shows, held in expensive storage, which are slowly being digitised thanks to the work of the Classic Television Organisation (kaleidoscope.org.uk).
He would love the BBC to show some of them, but as it is, the treasure trove is only rarely glimpsed, principally at the British Film Institute's annual "Missing Believed Wiped" event. It includes TOTP gems such as Roy Orbison and Sonny and Cher in the 1960s. Dick Fiddy of the BFI adds: "John's collection features many extracts from lost shows that could feature in media history documentaries or compilations. We hope to use some of his behind-the-scenes footage to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Spitting Image next year." NB If you have any lost gems, please email lost.shows@radiotimes.com
So it would seem that there is still hope for any lost video of Jethro Tull, especially "Living In The Past" from TOTP turning up one day.

I have read the above a little and understand the interest in early recordings. A few years ago I sold the first John Evans Blues Band demo disc ever made. There were only five. Ian gave me the disc and not Jeff who Ian told me really wanted the demo. Ian gave it to me when we went to the Windsor Jazz Blues Festival. It was 'Blues for the 18th' which Ian told me was written for me and B side Aeroplane. The demo disc was severely scratched from over play over the years but someone kindly sent me a pristine version from Derek Lawrence to compensate for my loss. I have a letter in which Ian tells me about other early recordings, a track called "The Man' was one I remember. (He writes 'The Man Is In The Can' ) I would have to search to find any other references to any others.

I took a photograph of the 'First Timers' recording from my T.V. I still have it somewhere. Ian was wearing that awful satin outfit.

Just been re-reading Brian Rabey's book "A Passion Play - The Story Of Ian Anderson & Jethro Tull". It had slipped my mind that in the very early years Derek Lawrence claimed that the John Evan Smash recorded a cover of The Lemon Piper's song "Green Tambourine" at the Abbey Road Studios on the 24 October 1967. Now that's one I'd love to hear

Is the Quad version of Aqualung considered rare, at this point?

Post by steelmonkey on Oct 6, 2018 23:09:04 GMT
Probably depends on how many they made. I don't remember seeing quad Aqualung but quad War Child was pretty common.

Long-Lost Beatles ‘Top Of The Pops’ Performance To Be Screened For The First Time In 50 YearsThe Fab Four performing ‘Paperback Writer’ on ‘Top Of The Pops’ in 1966 is just one of the rare clips set to be screened at the event. Published on May 29, 2019 By Tim PeacockPhoto: Apple Corps Ltd A long-lost clip of The Beatles performing ‘Paperback Writer’ on Top Of The Pops in 1966 is to be screened this weekend at Birmingham’s City University.
Only 11 seconds of the appearance was believed to exist previously, but the full 92 second clip is now set to be shown on Saturday, 1 June.
It was unearthed as part of a drive by the British Film Institute and Kaleidoscope, who launched a campaign in April last year to find the top 100 lost TV shows. No. 2 on the list was Top Of The Pops, and more than 200 lost performances have since been donated, including the Beatles clip from music fan David Chandler.
This weekend’s screening will feature talks from professionals and will showcase the unseen performances to an audience of industry experts and music and TV enthusiasts.
Along with the footage of The Beatles, other performances to be screened from Top Of The Pops in 1966 include The Troggs’ ‘Anyway That You Want Me’, The Hollies’ ‘Bus Stop’, The Small Faces’ ‘My Mind’s Eye’ and a promo film of ‘A Love Like Yours’ by Ike and Tina Turner.Other previously thought lost shows due to be screened on the day include an episode of Ready Steady Go from March 1964, another episode of Top Of The Pops from November 1969 featuring Fleetwood Mac, Jethro Tull, Nancy Sinatra, The Beatles and The Archies and another Top Of The Pops from February 1975 including performances from Showaddywaddy, The Stylistics, Slade and Bachman-Turner Overdrive. In addition a May 1984 episode of Tyne Tees’ Razzmatazz featuring Eddy Grant, Spandau Ballet and Deniece Williams, with The Who’s Roger Daltrey as one of the show’s guest presenters, also features in the day’s programme.The event will run at the university’s Parkside Building between 10am and 6pm and advance tickets can now be booked.Link
