Plus I gather that the countdown from the Tall Dwarfs vid was from about August 1981.

I think the Tall Dwarfs was definately filmed 1981, "Fantastic voyage" and "Springboks tour" news story in there, probably what they were actually recording.

Oh, and here's a funny thing - there's also another RTR countdown that lives here on Youtube, in the video clip for 'Nothing's Going To Happen' by Tall Dwarfs. It's a bit of a fast run-through it, but if you have the video tools to slow it down it would probably be worth looking at, despite the poor picture quality filmed from the TV, lol.

Ahhh. Excellent! Cheers.

It's pretty amazing that almost everything from #15 down to #1 is pure timeless gold. And this was the crap music program -- RWP was far better.

[brettv8]

90% percent of this music still gets regular airplay - can the same be said for today's computer generated 'hits'? New stuff is mostly a bunch of arse, over produced and no soul or warmth. Oh sure musicians start off with passion but now its about screwing every last dollar out of a catchy riff.

Does anyone now all the names to the Opening Theme music they used for RTR ?

[Ru4Reel73]

Those were the days when you could listen to a song on the radio and easilypick the singer. Nowadays it's all the same crap.

Could Someone Upload The Full RTR from 1983?

@kiwiShampoo: Man I have not seen an L&P commercial since I left NZ and that was in "92", I can't believe it's been that long.

Boy do I feel old right now!

[KiwiShamoo]

@msfrydae: yep, life really was an L&P commercial back in those days!
