'Oh! You Pretty Things' was not broadcast, and "does not remain on archive" according to the notes of Bowie At The Beeb. This show has a long bootleg history: nearly the entire transmission (only small parts of John Peel's introductions are missing) was released already in 1978 on Ziggy 2 (Dragonfly Tune In 002). Queen Bitch/The Supermen/Looking For A Friend/Kooks/Song For Bob Dylan/It Ain't Easy were released on a BBC transcription disc called Pick Of The Pops For Your DJ - 349 (128511-S), while the "Bowie At The Beeb" broadcast re-aired 'Bombers', 'Looking For A Friend', 'Almost Grown' and 'Kooks'. The complete show (minus 'Oh! You Pretty Things'), taken from the NMC set, appeared on Kiss The Viper's Fang (EDB 002).
