The TV station's policy of reusing the same recording tapes to record so many different TV programs as a cost-saving measure during the 60s was definitely regrettable. So many episodes of TOTP were easily lost bcoz of that.

The Australian band Easybeats had their performance on Top of The Pops preserved on a film reel copy, which was discovered only a few years back. They performed roughly the same time as the Beatles. If a band not as big as the literal Beatles had their performance saved, surely there’s a copy of the Beatles performance hiding somewhere in someone’s collection?

The story I heard was that it was political. The unions pushed the BBC into destroying all those precious recordings of TOTP featuring all those now legendary groups and artists of the 1960s, because - unbelievably, but I think this is it, more or less - they felt having recordings of older music around would reduce the amount of work available to musicians and/or music/TV technicians, etc, because people wouldn't bother making new records, or new shows, since people would just listen to/ watch the old stuff. But, as another commenter suggested, the reason the BBC may have been able to be persuaded by this spurious argument that it was perfectly legitimate to destroy historic footage was because pop music was seen as a very low class of entertainment with little to it of lasting value. There was no concept that people might still be interested in this silly young people's nonsense in 50 years time, or 500 years...

The Beatles by 1966 were tired of touring, and the songs they had on REVOLVER were too complex to be recreated on stage. They were able to perform the single Paperback Writer and possibly Rain on TOTP for that reason.

The essential thing to remember - as well as video tape and film being relatively expensive then - is that once something had been shown once or maybe twice there was really no market for it. In 1966 the UK had just two national TV channels (which were on air for only about 8 hours per day), there was no internet, no home video recorders and TV content was almost never shown in cinemas because the movies business and the TV business were still things apart and saw themselves as at war with each other. The BBC - like ITV - was mainly about providing entertainment programmes - and odd as it may sound now there was a bit of a national outcry if very many things were repeated. TV was still a comparatively young industry and building comprehensive archives of everything it made was not very high up its agenda, just because - well, what for? Who would want it and how would they watch it? So, unless a show was sold for showing abroad, once it had been aired once or maybe twice, then it was largely considered disposable. That applied equally to Coronation Street and to The Beatles on TOTP. I was 13 in 1966 and I would love to have owned a copy of this - but I had no camera, no projector and - at that stage - not even a cassette recorder to grab the soundtrack - and it was the same for almost everyone. It's very hard to convey to young people today the degree of fame which the Beatles had (FAR FAR more than it's even possible for anyone to have today) - just because we lived in a world of so few media channels and the Beatles were on all of them every day in some way or another. In the same way, today's media world is also so different that I can see why the decision to discard so much of this stuff could seem incomprehensible.

It took the fools at BBC til 1978 to realize they should stop wiping their tapes. So much culture lost.

Shame on BBC for destroying a piece of music history with The Beatles and Tom Jones performing on TOTP. Would love to see Elton's "Rocket Man" performance, now 50 years old. Thankful viewers have been able to help reconstruct those lost performances. But at the time, TPTB didn't think of the cultural impact many of these shows (and the performers) would have on future generations. However, as one poster mentioned, the Beat Club and other German music shows were preserved in pristine quality in Germany. Those performances can be seen on their official YT channel.
