Some old video footage from the glory days of the Fab Four recently resurfaced in Mexico, where a fan found some video of what had previously been believed to be lost footage of the band performing on BBC's Top of the Pops program from the 1960's.
“I think if you’re a Beatles fans, it’s the holy grail,” Kaleidoscope’s Chris Perry told the BBC. “People thought it was gone forever because videotape wasn’t kept in 1966. To find it all these years later was stunning.”
Not sure if it truly is the Holy Grail for Beatles fans or not, although it is pretty cool that it was found, all of these years later. Frankly, it seems amazing that a clip like this was lost for so long, and then, just like that, popped up, seemingly out of nowhere!
“We don’t know whether or not this particular piece of Top of the Pops history has disappeared forever, but unfortunately there was a time when BBC programmes were not archived as carefully as they are today and some programmes were sadly lost,” said a BBC spokesperson back in the year 2000.
Here is the link to this particular article, from which I obtained the quotes and information used above:
