CLASS OF '84 Working In The Rock'n'Roll Industry
OZMIX: AUSTRALIAN MUSIC SPECIAL July 14th, 1989

Here's hoping that the George Harrison material doesn't get the bump creating an edited episode. Beatles material has sometimes been dropped over the years...

To get you all geared up for the 1981 episodes, I just discovered this BBC1 doco (2016) on YouTube - Top of The Pops 1981. Amazing doco and all the great UK acts of 1981 and how 1981 was a milestone year for music and Top of The Pops:

Jason, you'd like this, there is a small feature of Boy George (around 45 min mark) dancing in the audience as an audience member and Kim Wilde making a couple of comments while she was performing on the show in '81 she would see this person dancing away and thought 'he should be on stage, not me' and the following year it happened.

Do y'self a favour!

GONE! Oh well at least I got to watch it briefly and hopefully it will rear its head again sometime soon.

Thanks Lee.

After the last one got pulled, I tried typing in every phrase under the sun to find this again on YouTube and nothing came up???

Cheers.
