      Hi Stephen,



I dated the show early June because the Lulu and Val singles weren't released until June. I know radio always played singles before release but I thought early TOTP was very chart orientated. Is there a database/website somewhere that has archive TOTP tracklistings?



My r2r no longer works so the few tapes I still have are archived at the moment, though I am hoping to get a replacement machine later this year. I don't think there is anything too exiting on them and I'm sure that was the only TOTP. I have a short medium wave recording which I used as filler on the cd when I digitised the TOTP, I'm trying to identify it before I post it anywhere. It is live with different DJs introducing each track so maybe something like the Melody Maker awards shows..

Most weeks I'd get my Mum on there asking me to turn it down, and shouldn't-I-be-in-bed-anyway! I found a box of the tapes when we moved house a few years ago, but think I probably binned 'em.
