As it happens, the "South Bank Show" wasn't BBC, but London Weekend Television, one of the (private sector) independent tv companies that were generally lumped together as ITV. Different companies covered different parts of the country, but with largely interchangeable programming. A more recent version of the programme ran on Sky Arts.

Here's another South Bank show with Mr Martin, recording on 2 x 32 track digital mitsubishi:

I set up the mics and the cans, and made coffee... and my back was in the doc for about 4 seconds (woo! ):

That's BS, Craig. Where's the prune juice?

I remember the 20th anniversary of Sgt Pepper...I was 11 yeas old at the time...got someone to "tape" the special lol there's a word we don't hear too much anymore "tape". But Sgt Pepper changed my life...saved my life...although it's not as good as Revolver...Revolver is sonically the more adventurous of the two...but The Beatles had two amazing years...with Rubber Soul coming at the front end of those two amazing years...as it was recorded and released at Christmas 1965...the sad thing is technology has swamped what The Beatles ever had...yet today kids are more interested in hitting a button than actually learning how to use the tech...there should have been something even greater than The Beatles by now...something is holding this back...the illuminati maybe lol ;) joke...but we should def be in a digital Renaissance.

Hehe...  I must admit, I was wondering the same thing!  I always heard it was carbonated prune juice...

And they did that over a mere 6-year career. Compare to, say, the Eagles, who sold ~150 million over 40 years.

That's the most amazing thing. They published more than an album a year, touring all the time, and every album was a pioneer in some way.
Also, I would be very interested in knowing what is their Record players in households/sold records -ratio.
I believe that would be a shocking figure compared to anything we can even dream about today.

Hi,
 
I'm not a Rolling Stone fan by any stretch of the imagination, but on their website they have a list of some 40 or 50 rock music specials ... and some of them listed in there are actually very good and worth the watching.
 
That list is nowhere near complete or clean, but it has some good stuff ... and I was thinking we should tell Miley to go watch "The Dandy Warhols", and then tell her to grow up and stop playing with .... (oooppppsss we're supposed to be G rated!) ... as some of those specials are quite hardcore. And sometimes, more interesting than the "fame" aspect of it all.
 
I think that if I see/find another special on the Beatles or Rolling Stones, I wanna quit ... so sick of it! I can't even blame Keith Richards for trashing it!
