Please note:
1) The version of "Psycho Killer" here is not the OGWT studio one from 1978-01-31 on the official OGWT Volume 1 dvd. This comes from the 3Sat "RockPop" show (Rockpalast) of 1980-12-20, a couple of tracks from which were included in the OGWT of 1981-01-31. 
2) "King Kong" on "Colour Me Pop" was originally about 23 minutes long. An 11 minute version (starting at about the 1:40 mark) was shown on the OGWT 1971-11-16 Zappa special. This version is the first 9 minutes and comes from the BBC Late Show tribute to Zappa 1993-12-17 broadcast following his death. There's a little tape wear on the final minute.
3) "Sin City" and "Run Run Run" come from "Rock Around The Clock" - an all night music special presented by the Whistle Test team on 1986-09-20.
4) Tracks 19, 21 and 29 are sourced from mpeg1 clips. NB they have NOT been recoded to mpeg2 nor their resolutions altered.
5) The artists featured on the menu pages are silent images, except for those where the songs featured have been named, dated and timed. All official clips are less than 30 seconds in length.
6) Eric Idle's parody of Bob Harris, which concludes the first menu page video comes from a sketch called "The Old Gay Whistle Test" from Idle's 1975-76 BBC Series "Rutland Weekend Television". I don't think this series was ever officially issued on video, although an LP was released featuring a sketch of the same name http://www.dailyllama.com/spam/audio/idle.html. I have been unable to establish whether the sketch featured on the LP is the same performance included here. The clip included here is 22.72 seconds in length, so should be permissible under Dimeadozen criteria even if it had been released.
