Great stuff!
Does the whole of this totp exist or did the filmer just do this clip?
What's the history of this clip? A super 8 camera in front of a telly?

This performance was filmed with a super 8 movie camera in front of the TV but the sound was added only recently. This single reached number 26 in the NME charts in 1968. The BBC have long since deleted this performance from their archives. Only this clip exists from this particular show.

Thanks for the info!
This would have gone top ten but for a strike at the factory issuing it.
Apparantly the song was used in bread ad??!??

Following this appearance on Top of the Pops, the band were told by TOTP that they were guaranteed a return performance the following week, providing record sales continued. Without warning, the pressing plant processing the single went on strike. The manager of the band took out a court injunction to force the plant to resume production but until this was resolved, the record could not be obtained.
The song is ideal for a commercial but to our knowledge has not yet been used for this purpose.
