Good grief. BBC probably thought it was too much effort to edit that many.
Well most of them would be where the songs are #1, and it would look daft without the #1. They've always tried to edit it so that most people wouldn't even notice.

They managed it for 5 weeks back in 1984 when Relax was #1 !Well most of them would be where the songs are #1, and it would look daft without the #1. They've always tried to edit it so that most people wouldn't even notice.
That's different from editing it out and the show having no ending or a weird ending. Like I said where they've made edits they've tried to do it in a way that most people wouldn't even notice. It's perfectly understandable why they'd rather just skip the episodes than edit out the #1.They managed it for 5 weeks back in 1984 when Relax was #1 !
It's also about money: it would cost the BBC to book an edit suite and hire someone qualified to make those changes. Clearly someone thought that would be worthwhile in the case of 1977: Big Hits, but I doubt they would view removing R Kelly or Puff Daddy as worth shelling out for …That's different from editing it out and the show having no ending or a weird ending.

LOL – I suggest you look at the new 1977: Big Hits … it's got quite a few edits that look extremely weird (and badly done)!They do still regularly do edits though. I think it's more about whether the edit can be done cleanly without the end result looking weird.
They could just play the original "Every breath you take" instead!?!Does that include puff daddy?
Got to give the Interns something to do...apart from "filing "!I wonder if it's the same team doing edits as the one extending some of the "...At The BBC" programmes recently.
What was the version of You Got The Love? It has slightly different instrumentation to the version I know from 1997
I don't think it's available apart from on the video. It has a longer intro and a nice extra "I know my saviour's love is real" before the final "you got the love"s at the end.
I know that there is supposed to be an earlier version of the Now Voyager Mix which directly sampled Clubbed To Death, which had to be changed for the commercial release. Perhaps the video edit is a version that came before the final single edit.
I'm on a wild goose chase trying to find that original mix now. It's on here so I might end up buying it unless anyone can find it online.
