A HUGE thanks for this JK!

Had read about this particular TV appearance for many years and know that it created quite an uproar at the time. I doubt it had survived, but it has and was great to finally see it.

Loved the vox pops interviews and what a head of hair you had back then JK!

Good rounding up speech at the end and one has to admire The Love Affair for actually having the courage to own up to what was then, a very common practice. As the bassist (I presume) admitted, given time they could had played it but time was money and they would had had a limited amount of time so that was the function of session men... to save time, and therefore money.

And it remains a phenomenal record today. I believe it was Clem Cattini on the drums... great playing and vitality and of course Steve Ellis was outstanding.

A priceless piece of Pop culture TV history!

Very funny timing this because just last night I was thinking back to the Rubik Cube craze and recalling all the different varieties you could get of them. I recalled having an ET one with pics from the film, and there was a spherical version.

Virtually everybody had one at that time, and it drove us all out of our minds! Enter young kid Patrick Bossett - think that was his name - who suddenly had a number one book on his hand on how to solve the beastly things!

So, now I know who to blame for that peculiar phenomenon! JK... you swine!

Several messages that say this is a cherished clip that none of the expert researchers thought existed (as far as I know it doesn't - after I bought one hour of material, I believe the rest was destroyed - why? Standard practice in those days).

Did you tell the band before what you wanted to ask?

They look and sound so terrified...

And what did the people from CBS Records UK think about the interview?

Yes they did indeed know - I seem to remember it was done because one of the Sundays was about to expose them and this was a way of spiking the tabloid guns - you'll note how supportive I was at the end.

Mick, the spokesman, was a very sweet kid and I believe is now Chairman of a successful company up north.

Steve continues to sing.

One of them was the son of their manager.

..and my mate wrote the B side.
