Frequently described as THE definitive music documentary and regarded as much cult viewing today as it was upon original broadcast 30 years ago. It was in the mid 70's, at the suggestion of John Lennon, that celebrated journalist and film maker TONY PALMER decided to document the Story Of Popular Music and set about interviewing all the major players, past and present, at the time. Even in the 70's this was a monumental task but despite the undertaking the finished project was one that aspiring film makers would look to for inspiration even today. The program was originally broadcast between 1976 and 1981, but since that time it has neither been commercially released or repeated. Synopsis Features all 17 episodes of the series ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE, which looked in detail at popular music throughout the 20th century up until the mid 1970s. The show looked at various genres including country, rock n' roll, jazz, vaudeville, ragtime, blues, folk, musicals, and swing. Bangs says: Would have been interesting to have seen some early Jamaican and German music, not to mention the punk scene, breaking both in the US and the UK as the programmes were made, but overall, a great series let down ever-so-slightly by the NTSC format. Radio On Synopsis Described as a drama with a meaningful rock soundtrack, this work revolves around hero Robert B. as he journeys from Camden to Bristol to try to find out something about his brother's death. Music from David Bowie, Sting, Kraftwerk and Eddie Cochran. Bangs says: A bleak travelogue made truly interesting by a great soundtrack. Was ‘70s Britain really this gloomy?

The Tomorrow Show With Tom Snyder: John, Paul, Tom & Ringo Synopsis NBC presented some hard-hitting journalism between 1973 and 1982 when it gave some precious late-night airtime to chain-smoking talk show host Tom Snyder. THE TOMORROW SHOW was known for its provocative questions and the good humour of its host, but it also captured some legendary TV moments, such as the last ever televised interview with former Beatle John Lennon. The interview with Lennon, which originally aired in April 1975, is included here, and this compilation also includes segments in which Snyder meets up with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. The interviews are the usual in-depth explorations that Snyder was known for, creating absorbing viewing for fans of both the Beatles and popular culture.
