The footage of David Bowie performing Jean Genie had not been viewed for 38 years

A retired cameraman has been speaking of the moment he realised he owned footage of David Bowie on Top of the Pops which was thought to be lost.

John Henshall, 69, from Stanford-in-the-Vale, Oxfordshire, retained a copy of Bowie performing Jean Genie in 1973.

He said: "I just couldn't believe that I was the only one with it. I just thought you wouldn't be mad enough to wipe a tape like that."

It was unveiled on Sunday at an event held by the British Film Institute.

As usual with the Spiders they're all over the place, but it just adds to the charm

If you dug that (and if you don't already have it), I'd highly recommend this:

The Santa Monica Civic is a small venue, that must have been fantastic show. I'll rent it.
