The Old Grey Whistle Test was launched on 21st September 1971 from a tiny studio tucked behind
a lift shaft on the fourth floor of BBC Television Centre. From humble beginnings it has gone
on to provide some of the best and most treasured music archive that the BBC has to offer. In

and the early punk machinations of the \'mock rock\' New York Dolls. 1973 being the pinnacle year
sees archive from Roxy Music, the Wailers and Vinegar Joe. The programme\'s finale celebrates
the advent of punk and new wave with unforgettable performances from Patti Smith, Blondie, Iggy
Pop and The Jam.
