Edsel Show 1957 oldest B&W videotape recording on YouTube!
 

G'day all.

Just made an excellent find on YouTube while doing my search for old videotaped programs from the 50s. Some of you might have heard about the earliest surviving B&W videotape recording being "The Edsel Show" on CBS which was recorded on quad tape on 13th October 1957 http://kingoftheroad.net/edsel/edselshow1.html . Well it's now on YouTube :D uploaded by Kris Trexler himself and can be viewed in 5 parts:
Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VFUZhttfxA
Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2-yMfHhUzQ
Part 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvAoOG6j58E
Part 4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6_oVDtkfJc
Part 5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BzgRxTDIeM

He has also uploaded "An Evening With Fred Astaire" as well, whilst there are plenty of uploads and the bootleg recordings off the Disney Channel being widley available, this one is complete with the original glorious 1959 Chrysler Corporation live car commercials which the common bootleg version didn't have and seeing them it's totally wow, especially the closeup shots!!!:D Anyhow also here it is in 5 parts:
Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lghtn6LttCQ

Anyways happy viewing!:D

The Edsel Show looks amazing. Especially when seen next to the commonly seen kinescope film recording. Haven't seen the Astaire program yet, but will soon. The Judy Garland Show from 1963-64 has been issued on DVD from the original tape masters, and these also look fantastic.
