'Bexhill College Video No.1' would have been the VHS tape of Lee's earlier GSCE Media Studies project, comprising interviews etc recorded at the college's Turkey Road site when the first line up of the band were known by their original name Blue Image. Attempts to find the tape in the college's Media Studies department after the course had concluded were unsuccessful and, several years later, the college buildings themselves were demolished, so we can be pretty sure that Lee's tape is lost forever.
As a result, the appearance that Lee and I made as part of the congregation on BBC Songs Of Praise, filmed at Hastings Castle for transmission on 26th August 1990, is accidentally the only surviving footage of the band (I saved an extract on YouTube here). At least we're both singing.
A 60 minute audio tape of Blue Image rehearsals survives, along with several photos, and a poster we used in the film. Some of these may resurface in the future but in the meantime, a short YouTube playlist is available - here
