strangely the Wings performance survived from the same show, (21 Nov) in top quality, sometimes in the background you can see the stage design elements from the red jacket picture. Wiped from the BBC archives, but still if it's McCartney, someone was able to come up with a near perfect copy.

And to confirm what was also said above: Keith uncovered it when talking to a former BBC Engineer who had taped
numerous episodes of TOTP and it was he who also supplied us with the three performances of Seven Seas of Rhye we have.
So that is now clear.
What about the other photo with FM all in white?
The photo with Freddie in white is probably from NIH TOTP 16/01/75

Must be the first TOTP NIH performance, or the third unknown TOTP Killer Queen .
Is this the 45-version of Now I'm Here, or is it just mislabeled?

This 'Now I'm Here' clip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPtwJkEC8ak) comes from TOTP, 100 per cent!!!
It is NOT from the Granada programme, 45. It was found by Keith Badman and it was he who supplied it to Queen Productions Ltd.
JC... may I ask you please where you got this info.... It was found by Keith Badman and it was he who supplied it to Queen Productions Ltd.
I'm intrigued.
Thanks
Does "Queen Archivist" work for Queen Productions LTD, in the archive?
Yes, of course. Where else would I work?

thats all i know of , the stage setup with Abba. A wall of 9 AC30s, a strange V shaped above head rig and Rogers drums.

maybe this second picture shows more from the stage design, looks like a huge face of somebody singing is painted on the wall as a background
copy paste the links pls
Perhaps the Abba clip was re-broadcast on a later episode (before the tapes were destroyed) and the later episode survived. Some clips (non-Queen) on Countdown Australia survived that way.

You should direct that question to Saintray, I just quoted him through the link supplied. He has recently joined here too, maybe he will see the question and respond.
To be honest I always thought Dave Lee Travis donated this footage from his private archive in 2007. So I was way off, it's the full episodes of TOTP I'm interested in.
Or, is DLT that former BBC Engineer?

Same set
Definitely :)
Having seen the footage this afternoon....
That's not a Christmas hat. It's just a red bobble hat.
I realise this doesn't help much.
From that blurred image I couldn't differentiate between white fur and a knitted white stripe.
However, at the time, I saw the latter. Also, since we're getting this anal about a tangent, a santa hat would be pointier.
