Not a copy of the show(s) unfortunately, but definitely a copy of the single 
(white label 'test pressing' with POSSIBLY 2 versions of the title theme. 
They were both bangin'/dub workouts for Rob, that kinda smacked of P&tP... 
only vocal bit was permutations of the 'Beatbox' 'Out Now' vox grab line... 
I think... it's in the collection somewhere...).

Week after week they showed a clip or two from the Oils Capitol gigs... 
string them all together & you'd probably get a 20-odd song show. I thought 
that this was probably the source for much of the (non-WW1 broadcast) audio, 
that's around??
Unless the Capitol Show Video was broadcast in the States or Canada, in a 
more complete, joined form??? Would anyone know, for sure?

***This was always my #1 choice for a DVD release... an almighty series of 
shows.. pure Oil Power!!! Justin??? What's the chance??

lurk .

incidentally... FLY TV (ABC), on saturday a.m. before last had a little 
snippet of the show, 'From The Vaults'

Hi folks,
I was chatting to someone last night about Rob's drumming
and they mentioned an old Australian tv show that was on the ABC
in the eighties called Beatbox. The show featured a big Rob drum
solo at the beginning and also showed a clip of him playing drums
on top of a mountain going off!. I was keen to know if anyone else
had seen it or even has a copy of it!. I do believe it also came
out as a promo 7inch single in the eighties.

see ya,
Damien.
