Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

That's weird - not the complete playlist. Five videos were played after the end of this list, finishing with Supernova by Liz Phair.

Yes, I noticed that.

Babylon Zoo's 'Animal Army' was the first of the extra lot.

The version of Life On Mars played during December 5 hasn't been played before until now

I started reading the playlist from the bottom up when I first saw it, and wasn't too thrilled, but yes there is some rare stuff shown earlier on.

I wish they'd shown 'Left of Center' instead of 'Luka', though, as I don't have a watermark-free digital copy of that.

What a great playlist! I don't think rage has ever played TIL TUESDAY "Looking Over My Shoulder" (not shoulders!). Although I have a good quality copy of this clip anyway, but still, great to see.

There should be more Monday night Vault playlists like this

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Could have done without the common Cyndi Lauper, Janet Jackson, Pointer Sisters videos and replaced with some Stacey Q videos like Don't Make A Fool Of Yourself and Give You All My Love ...

And some Shakespear's Sister clips like Break My heart, Heroine, Hello Hello (Turn Your Radio On), I Don't Care ...

And some Kim Wilde videos rage haven't played in ages like In My Life, Kids In America '1994', The Touch, Anywhere Anyplace Anytime with Nena

Helen Terry - Stuttering ...

As much as I love Janet Jackson, would have preferred La Toya videos!!!!


B U T .... still, a great theme and again the Kim Carnes videos are WOW and so MEGA RARE ***** !!!!! ***** As is Looking Over My Shoulder by Til Tuesday ... I do have a Til Tuesday Video compilation but it's NTSC so will be nice to have a PAL copy of Over My Shoulder ....

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Looking Over My Shoulder video just aired on rage and it's actually not on the Til Tuesday Video comp I have!!! My one has Love In A Vacuum which is another fav. I have actually never seen the Over My Shoulder video so WOW, that was a real TREAT!!!!!!!

Til' Tuesdays debut album is one of my favourite albums of all time, it is simply STUNNING

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

One of the best vaults for the year.

I seemed to get some glitches (pixelation and freezing) throughout but fortunately didn't seem to affect the clips that I was interested in. Just wondering if others had this and it was a broadcast issue and not my reception.

Hopefully a precursor to the quality we will see in January - quality of programming not the glitches that is.

Yep they seemed to have some technical issues last night. Two clips got messed up - Only The Lonely got stuck and became a colour bar for about a minute then they jumped to the live performance of Total Control missing the first 20 seconds or so.

Then the audio was way out of sync in Will Powers "Adventures in Success" (which is one weird 'song') and it then suddenly jumped to the end of the clip.

There were a few other issues too, like the first Motels clip being titles as "THE MOTEL" and the Bangles clip being zoomed in a bit even though it is a 4:3 clip (same thing happened with "Breaking Up The Girl" in the Garbage special last week).

Maybe the work experience kid was on last night

That's odd - I have an NTSC VHS compilation tape just called "Til Tuesday" with 5 clips on it and Looking Over My Shoulder is one of them. The other clips are What About Love, Voices Carry, Love In A Vacuum and Just Like Me (live). CBS Fox 1986, Cat No 3594.

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Maybe Looking Over My Shoulder is on the VHS, I don't remember the video for Over My Shoulder though, I watched it a long time ago so yeah. The VHS was a 5 track so it must be on there.

As far as freezing, I had so much freezing last night and dropouts during quite a few clips, but the ones I wanted which were RARE were fine. This occurred on the DVD Recorder broadcast, on the Foxtel IQ recording, no freezing at all

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Have rage ever aired 'The Touch'? I have a copy of the 12" 'Say You Really Want Me' video from rage in 1987 (someone sent it to me), and I know they aired 'You Came', 'Love Is Holy', 'Million Miles Away', 'In My Life', 'Kids In America '94', and 'This I Swear' as new releases/in the top 50-60 - none of these aired following her guest programming in 2013.

And yes I agree, there was no need for the common Cyndi/Janet etc. videos to be shown again.

The picture froze for me during Irene Cara's 'Fame', but I thought it may have just been a fault at my end. I also had some pixellation during the first video shown, Pretenders' 'Back on the Chain Gang'.

I live near a TV transmission tower, so theoretically my signal should be good. But I find that, generally, I'm more prone to glitches when the weather is hot at night. Why that is, I don't know.

I had no problem during 'Only the Lonely' or 'Total Control'. I didn't notice an audio sync problem during 'Adventures in Success', but would need to check.

The zooming on the Bangles clip is They've been doing this for a while; I don't know why (thankfully I caught a rage copy in its intended aspect ratio in 2009-ish). I also noticed it on 'Breaking Up the Girl' (and 'Push It' and 'Vow'). They do it with a small no. of old videos that were originally 4:3; god knows why, as it looks awful. It's not just zooming in, but they are cropped as well.

I got a colour bar as well during one video; I think one of the Pretenders' videos (but I didn't need it). I've never seen that kind of glitch on rage before.

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Rage has been glitchy for a few mondays now. Grrrrr

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

rage have never played The Touch by Kim ... I had a really good copy of the video anyway but would be nice to see.

Rage did play In My Life and Kids In America '94 but they must be long gone from their library which is interesting as they have way RARER videos in general and they even played Dancing In The Dark by Kim after she programmed which is one of her very most RARE videos along with The Touch ....

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

I've got an official promo VHS compilation copy of 'The Touch'. It's complete and clean other than a 'Kim Wilde' superscript appearing for a few seconds over it.

Wow, rage are airing 'Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree' this Saturday morning.

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Ooooh, an official VHS of The Touch, can I PLEASE have a copy?????

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Super Fly Guy would have been great instead of Theme From S Express, but anyhow...

Would have loved rage to dig out Rookies Revenge from Lou which was a PWL production from 1988. rage used to play it lots in 1988, I wonder if they still have it.

Most of the clips were selections that are played many a times though Bomb The Bass with Beat Dis isn't one that is aired much, it was aired heaps in 1988 but glad they still have the video. Don't Make Me Wait is my favourite Bomb The Bass track though...

Coldcut & Yazz with Doctorin' The House would have been good for this special and the original 1988 video for Coldcut and Lisa Stansfield with People Hold On which is not on Lisa's official DVD....

Yeah, 'Superfly Guy' would have been better, and yes, many of these videos are regularly/semi-regularly seen on rage anyway.

I have a copy of the Lisa Stansfield DVD but have never watched it properly, as I hate that the videos are cropped (they actually cut some of the top and bottom off the picture) to appear widescreen.

'People Hold On' appears on this European various artists DVD, which I have - https://www.discogs.com/Various-Party/release/2896238 . And it was actually released in 1989.

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

The electronic TV guide says that this week's Tuesday morning rage episode is a George Michael tribute, so it is presumably a repeat of the tribute that aired last year.

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

*yawn*

So instead of rectifying their mistake by playing the wrongly advertised episodes of Countdown or Rock Arena, they just go with the same boring old Triple J fodder they always play. I am grateful for a great retro month this year, but there is absolutely no reason why they couldn't give us one hour every week.

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Brad

Too much work for them to do, probably. They're presumably public servants, so they don't get a bonus for doing the job well.

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Yep, instead of rectifying the wrong Countdown episode played, rage play the same old Alternative videos.


Though again, my call to rage this afternoon didn't surprise me, they had no idea it was the wrong episode played. And I had to tell them to re label the Duran Duran episode as 17/04/1982.

They basically told me they can't change much programming in the next few months but funny how on a Monday night when no one barely watches, those morons on the rage Facebook page I mean .... rage can pull out the same old Nine Inch Nails, New Order etc they have played mannnny a times.

I too am very grateful to rage for playing Countdown every January and this January was rather incredible for Countdown. I am not expecting one Countdown a week as that won't happen, as much as I'd love it to. But, the advertised episode that wasn't played should be played in the next 2 months, at least. But it doesn't seem likely to happen and will probably be ignored next January as well ...

I noticed earlier that rage have responded to a couple of comments on the facebook page about tonight's Vault episode, like someone asking who was in the group photo of Big Day Out artist they posted (really). That has to be the first comments I've seen from rage on there in months, probably because they like the artists being played.

Maybe you should have said there's a rare video in the Jo Kennedy-hosted episode that Nick Cave appears in when you spoke to them They'd probably go out of their way to make room for it then.

Also of interest - the rage website was updated today with this weekend's coming guest programmer blurb (an Australian rock band I'd never heard of, who are going to play mostly 'alternative'/rock acts by the looks of it). Yet they only put one (inaccurate and not detailed) blurb up for the whole of retro month.

Some of the songs this weekend's guest programmers are playing:

The Living End - Prisoner Of Society
Grinspoon - Just Ace
Cypress Hill - Rock Superstar
Gooch Palms - Don't Look Me Up
DZ Deathrays - The Mess Up
Dandy Warhols - Smoke It
Cosmic Psychos - ****wit City

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Yes, I did notice that rage responded to those who were asking about the Alternative Vault Special.

Seems they have the time to respond now that January is over and won't answer about the wrong Countdown episode, typical...

I commented under their replies to the people asking whether any of the clips tonight will be live ones with my question about the Countdown 1982 stuff up, seeing I saw rage commenting. No reply, of course!

There were no rage goes retro details on Saturday's in January on rage's Facebook page. No mention of Countdown's at all except the morning episode I requested and it was a fuss made about Elton John by rage. Otherwise I had to post the archival details under other posts so anyone who was interested could see them.

At least these days rage do have the occasional brilliant music video selection on some Monday nights and the proper VAULT specials once or twice a year. It took the death of Michael Shrimpton for rage to play Countdown outside of January. So Countdown will not appear till next January, wrong 1982 episode played or not!

Do rage really think retro month viewers get excited over Elton John? I guess they do, since they had that Elton John-themed episode during January a few years back. Personally, I don't like his music much at all, unless it is sung by other singers (e.g. Kate Bush).

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

I thought it was interesting that rage thought Countdown and retro month viewers would get excited about Elton John.

I didn't request that episode for Elton John, I requested it for Jo Kennedy's performance and for the general feel of the show with all the special guests.

Most people who look forward to January are Countdown collectors and look forward to Countdown studio performances, HUMDRUM and those into some rare clips from Rock Arena.

Interesting rage are suddenly answering viewers questions for today's Alternative and Triple J theme and they arrived just once on Saturday morning 2 weeks ago to Facebook to talk about the 1982 episode for Elton John?

Wouldn't they have made an appearance when they played the 'THE THE' Rock Arena episode on weekend 2 this year and the Countdown's with Elen Folly e.t.c... To stay so called 'cred' ...

May I add, annoying that rage played the Elton John MELDRUM TAPES yet they have ignored the Bananarama request I have made for how mannnny years. Obviously Elton John has more cred than Bananarama, in their eyes ....

Basically, all I care about is January, 2018. 11 long months but hopefully it goes fast, I just want another 17 or so unrepeated Countdown's. This is why I hope rage stays on air ...

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Thank You Nathan for uploading the rage Playlist every Monday night. I have left Facebook as I loathe Social media and don't plan to return till November when I submit Countdown requests.

Would appreciate it if you continue pasting the Playlists for Monday nights

Sure, I plan to continue.

Next week's Tuesday morning episode is only about an hour long. No doubt they'll pick a really good theme, then

It's starting later than normal because of that W league (whatever that is) that has been airing normally on Wednesday mornings. Typical Australia - sport trumps everything else

Interesting, only 1 hour long. Perfect to play the Countdown episode from 11/04/1982 in that hour. But according to them, they don't have time in their upcoming programming. Fools

May I add, annoying that rage played the Elton John MELDRUM TAPES yet they have ignored the Bananarama request I have made for how mannnny years. Obviously Elton John has more cred than Bananarama, in their eyes ...[/quote]

I have all the Meldrum Tapes on DVD that i recorded when they were shown on VH1 about 10 years ago. They have the original interviews, but for some reason when the some of videos were played they were post '86 videos. Jason, i assume you would already have these?

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Michael, I did record some of The Meldrum Tapes from VH! when they were played on Foxtel in 2007/2008.

I remember Bananarama/Pseudo Echo was advertised but when i went to record it, I don'
t think it got played.

Do you have the Bananarama and Pseudo Echo Meldrum Tapes from VH1?

If you do have the Bananarama Meldrum Tapes in particular, I would DIE for a copy!!!!!!!! Please???

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

VH1 butchered the meldrum tapes
