Send to the media-youtube section if required but is this rare?

The colour version may be rarer ;)

This footage was shot by Peter Clifton and was also used for Heroes and Villains in the rock movie Popcorn, kind of a pre-MTV compilation of music videos.

Board member "Surfer" posted that video a few days before, but without the Beat Club intro. I had never seen the clip at all before, and now I'm stunned to learn it was made for Beat Club.

Is it certain there is a color version? Beat Club only aired in b/w, as far as I know (wasn't born yet then), though German TV aired in color since 1967.

Yes, although this one's had a song substitution:

Thank you VERY much! :)

This clip is so re-cut though that I doubt the "original" still exists in a color version. And if at all, in the Radio Bremen archives who produced Beat Club.

BTW, the host Uschi Nerke says in her introduction that the song was currently number 3 in England.

Do It Again is a favorite of mine but at the time this must've seemed like the short-lived comeback of a novelty pop group.
