Short German TV Appearance
We are deeply indebted to Martin Mycock in the UK for finding and supplying a video tape of a German TV show featuring Quatermass. The show took the form of a documentary, apparently about performing rock band wages. Quatermass only feature for about three minutes and sadly their appearance is marred by text scrolling over the screen. Nevertheless we have managed to salvage a number of images of Quatermass performing live.
Up On The Ground	Mick Underwood & John Gustafson	Mick Underwood
Mick Underwood	the only image of Peter Robinson	Laughing Tackle
The video segment features two songs from the Quatermass repertoire of the time. The sound is mono. The audio quality is good and quite enjoyable, leaving us wanting much more after such a short taster.

• Up On The Ground - 1:40 - played superbly with the whole band in good form.
• Laughing Tackle - 1:39 - a nice start to a longer performance, with notable addition of electric piano

John Gustafson on TV
Below are three shots of John Gustafson chatting about his contribution to Lynsey de Paul's single "Sugar Me", as part of a programme on "One Hit Wonders". NB: Putting your ear to the wood is the only way to hear an unamplified bass properly.
