Top of the Pops: 40th Anniversary 1964-2004

~ Release by Various Artists (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

Many of these recordings were made eg. on the Tuesday before the Thursday TV transmission and there was always contention over the extent to which performances were live.
These tracks are marked live by default as the artist is performing uniquely in the studio but it’s clear from wiki that at least the first 2 tracks are mimed.
