[QuadList] Lost and Found 2" quad alert (yes it was a 2")

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

I this  case it  sounds like a legal tape removal?
 
But....
I imagine there are a few  things stashed out  there...    you have to 
realize though... in  theory had  they caught people taking tapes home ( as many 
times  happened)  they could have been bagged for misappropriation  of  
government, studio, school or company property depending on where they worked 
or  something.....  remember  what that reel of tape cost back  then.....  
and remember....as a general rule in the government and   educational 
environment there is no such thing as  ... throwing away of  assets... they  
generally have to go though an auction process..
 
thank  goodness  some  were brave enough  to nick a  reel or  two every so 
often!

Hi List
 
I had the pleasure of meeting John Henshall back  in November when he was 
working on a programme about BBC Television Centre  with Richard Turley. He 
arrived here with a lot of trepidation as to whether  he had the right tape 
or not. Anyway we put the reel on an AVR2 and  were blessed with pictures 
straight out of the box. No baking , no cleaning ,  just great pictures and 
sound. We did one pass of the tape straight to Digital  Betacam and this what 
we see today.  
 
In some ways Richard Turley is responsible for  discovering John Henshall 
and his rare performance. John Henshall had a copy  of the material because 
he was responsible for making the "Fish Eye"  swivelling lenses and the 
"Multiple Prismatic" lenses and he persuaded some  one in BBC VT to make a copy 
as a sales tool for his lenses. On this tape  there was also a ladies daytime 
programme from Southern Television with John  Junkin showing the lenses 
mounted on a Marconi camera. 
 
So yes it was a Quad tape, and it was recorded as  an insert into Top of 
the Pops, complete with clock.
 
I am pleased to have helped preserve an iconic  performance, it does seem a 
shame that John  has received no financial  benefit from saving this 
material.
 
John Henshall does have some photos of the  occasion, I will see if I can 
post one.

Attention  David Bowie fans! 
A  recently rediscovered David Bowie Top of the Pops performance has been 
shown  on television for the first time since it was originally broadcast in 
1973.  What appears to be a 2" quad reel is shown during the interview 
segment. 
It  was believed that every recording of the singer performing Jean Genie 
had  been destroyed.
