Further info on 'She's Leaving Home'. Although officially only a b-side, it was in fact a hit of sorts in as much as when 'Tokyo Joe' had dropped down the chart from 15 to 24 (if I remember correctly!), one or more DJ's started playing 'She's Leaving Home' on the radio. The next week 'Tokyo Joe' moved back up the chart to number 20.
Two great tracks on one single...TJ was one of the tracks performed live in Channel 7 studios, Sydney in 1977 in a special cleverly named, "Bryan Ferry Live in Australia".
The TJ clip is the only one that exists from that nine song, hour show.
The TV broadcast was touted at the time as "state of the art visual and audio recording". Funny when you think of True HD, Master HD audio and 1080P vision etc. that now exists, as I recorded the audio onto a small cassette recorder microphone balancing near the TV! VCRs did not exist in Australia circa May '77...
My point is, i'd love to get a hold of a copy of that entire video broadcast. It's a true Ferry rarity!
