Music Television reached it's popularity, when the ABC aired Countdown for the first time, during the later part of 1974. This program screened each week at six o'clock every Sunday night, until it's unfortunate axing in 1987.  Showcasing all the latest hits and music fads, current chart trends, and interviews, Countdown became the television staple of a generation.   The hottest acts would play their latest hits in the studio, as Ian "Molly" Meldrum unearthed many of Australia's unknown groups.  In coming months, we'll take a nostalgic trip back to the days, when every song in the top 40 was great, and remember some of this shows best moments.

At present I've listed the entire list of programs I have taped of rage, (for personal use only).  I am willing to do a program for program swap (dvd only) for anyone that wants a program they don't have.  I am happy to do this, as I'm still looking for many lost episodes.

The following list is a complete inventory of all taped programs in my collection.  All shows are complete, taped from the first frame to the last, unless stated.  Please note that all programs have been taped on high quality TDK VHS Video cassette unless stated otherwise.  I am currently setting up some new equipment which will allow me to transfer my taped countdowns to DVD, for easier viewing, and to reduce degradation of medias.

Before you ask me to send you any countdown material, please read copyright info at the bottom.  Shows marked with (DIG) have been recorded from digital television.  All other programs have been taped from analog broadcasts.
