David Cassidy - Daydreamer (Top of the Pops)

From the TOP OF THE POPS 500th Edition (tx 04/10/73), this specially-shot promo of David Cassidy's hit single Daydreamer features the singer performing on the tarmac at Heathrow Airport. The edition of TotP this clip hails from is currently missing from the BBC archives. The clip only survives because it was featured on Australian ABC show GTK (Get To Know) in 1974. The GTK programme was retained in the ABC archives as a B&W 16mm kinescope, hence the less-than-perfect quality. It has subsequently been aired on music show Rage. A copy has now been returned to the BBC. The clip has been restored and the soundtrack replaced with the record version for audio clarity (Cassidy was miming in the clip anyway).
