Just a small addition here. I found a slightly better copy of the Top Pop KQ video. This version has a few seconds more at the start and end, and has no on screen text. The quality is top notch too.

Well I know early this century the broadcasting station "VARA"did a rerun of the most impressive musicians which featured the show over all the years. I assume this one was taken from the rerun ... But was it taken from a mastertape, it is so clear...
Because the original broadcast features the host of the show in the beginning.

Great TopPop story;
The tv station had tossed all of the original tapes of the show as they did not see any commercial value in them anymore. This was late 80s early 90s.
A guy working there found these video boxes and film cans in a container outside and yes, he rescued them all from the trash and now has these stored in a VERY small room at the VARA-building.
They are all different, some 16mm film, others VHS-tapes. and everything in between.
The KQ performance is definatly recorded on video (not film). The tape shown on the rerun is bound to be the exact same tape they played in 1974. (not counting the transfer to digital as is done with every tv broadcast these days)
So who has been keeping an eye on those dumpsters at BBC headquarters?!

Got it from here http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5900465/Queen_-_Killer_Queen_%5BTopPop%5D.VOB
The torrent file itself hit several trackers on the 21/Oct/2010. I think this is the original post, might be worth trying to message the uploader for further details. I don't have any more info on it, here are the original share notes.
Queen - Killer Queen [TopPop].VOB
Very HQ rare tv show promo. AVRO's "TopPop" was the first weekly pop program
broadcast on Dutch television. It ran from September 22, 1970 to June 27, 1988.
"TopPop" was mainly filled with pop artists in the top pop studio, playing to
their latest hit. "Killer Queen" is a song by British rock band Queen. Written
by pianist and lead singer Freddie Mercury, it featured on their 1974 album
Sheer Heart Attack. When released as a single, "Killer Queen" was Queen's
breakthrough hit, reaching number two in the UK and number 12 in the U.S.

I have some doubts about this story.
At first the 1974 vara broadcast showed a different intro, the first images when themusic starts is from the prgramm host Ad Visser.
At second the VARA did somewhere end of 90's a rebroadcast of the finest from the TOPPOP programm.And from this braodcasting is this taken. Te 74 versions shows ad visser in the beginning. As we all know from the bootleg vhs tape from the miracle express.... that on was made mid 90's and did not included the rebroadcast.
Dane,could you reply to this please?

I bet the KQ version we see here is qualitywise better than QP has in their vaults. Or not? Well they have it now I guess, so they don't have to buy it....... :-)

Oh I meant AVRO in stead of VARA, silly me.
