Hi Jason
Not sure if the site is updated however, I have a video tape copy of this show i recorded from the day it was broadcaat (I appeared in it -ahaha)
Ep 432 Thriller Dance competition episode only known to exist in an off air recording, it may not be in the ABC archives.
I have this one on tape too - 425 July 15 1984 State Heats Beatstreet competition
Regards
John
They're two good episodes to have kept.
The Thriller Dance competition episode doesn't appear to be in the ABC archives although it probably is there somewhere but hasn't been correctly labelled. About 6-7 years ago I traded with you for a copy of this episode, which was in NTSC format for some reason, of which I passed on a copy to the ABC just in case they didn't have it. It is not broadcast quality however it is a fantastic episode to have.
Brilliant that you also have ep 425 as that one hasn't aired yet. The Beatstreet final (ep 427) was shown in 2001 but they have never aired the State Heats episode 425.

Howdy there,
Sorry for the 2 year late reply. So 43 episodes of 1970's Countdown have been aired. I only have 22 of them. So if anyone wants to head over to the Countdown Digital File Sharing thread and share some of the others I would appreciate it. My list of C/D shows is there for all to see. I will willingly share copies to everyone who wants it.
