Hi, afraid all i have is the top of pops clips you see on my channel, video tape was quite expensive in the mid 80s, so i only kept certain things, cheers

To be fair, since I wrote that last message I've discovered a lot more TOTP performances recorded via the BBC Radio 1 simulcast that you've uploaded than I originally thought. There was a one-off episode in 1983 (the 1,000 episode) that was a one-off simulcast as well, but I'll be lucky to find that... especially in stereo. Hopefully, BBC Four will repeat it next year, provided Savile doesn't rear his ugly head on that episode.

Saville did appear, so BBC Four did not repeat it. But if you really want to see it, with the Radio 1 Stereo Audio, create an account on popscene and ask the admin (Neil) for a wetransfer link when BBC Four get back to that repeat run later again in 2018 (The 1000th episode was 5th May 1983, if you need to keep track).

I have the May 1983 1000 edition of TOTP's. We had just hired a TV from Radio Rentals that was Stereo but of course only played Stereo when playing VHS tapes from a Stereo VHS player. All before Nicam of course. I was 15 at the time and in my element to hear how amazing TOTP's sounded in Stereo from the first Simultaneous Stereo recording. It was ground breaking at the time as the sound quality from R2 was superb in FM STEREO VHF.
