    it is interesting that the idea of broadcasting video footage as opposed to live hadn't been thought up. Top of the Pops could have licensed footage from all sorts of US shows. Sullivan probably wouldn't have gone for it but perhaps American Bandstand would have [[not that the Sups appeared there either but you get what i'm saying)

    Also, my comment about the albums is more about the fact that the 60s era albums did generally chart, even though the DRATS singles didn't really perform all that spectacularly in the UK. whereas the 70s Sups singles were big hits but their albums faltered

    They did license performances from Soul Train and a handful of other shows, but Ed Sullivan was strictly off limits. Not sure about shows such as Bandstand and Hollywood Palace.
