Newly discovered colour quad videotapes from 1958 and 1959!!!

G'day all. I did a bit of a browse on Video AOL for early colour programming and to my surprise I came across a recently discovered 1959 colour quad videotaping of "Meet Cyd Charisse":

This footage is absolutely stunning for quality!!!! It is always exciting to hear of new discoveries of early quad videotapes especially in colour!!!

And it gets better. I have been doing some Googling on this program and accidentally stumbled upon this note written for Quad reproductions at AMIA Meeting by David Crosthwait:
http://mail.quadvideotapegroup.com/p...er/001560.html

They have discovered another colour quad videotape recording from 1958 which is believed to be the third oldest colour videotape recording in existence!!!

I did some further Googling for that particular tape but got no results. So anyone here who is involved with http://quadvideotapegroup.com/ I would love to hear about the details of that 1958 colour videotape if you can publicly divulge the information of it.
