Top Of The Pops

Last night, I opened a box that had 3 episodes of Top Of The Pops from 1971! Usually I edit these kind of shows down to just a few items per episode, but I decided to keep all three whole shows, in this case. Neat that despite being 3 shows from the same year, almost nothing was repeated between the shows.
