Revolution with Johnny Farnham

To maintain his appeal during the 1970 Record Ban, Johnny Farnham – signed to a major label - went looking to television for greater exposure. With pop’s main TV vehicle Happening 70 (ATV-O) reporting its best ever ratings during the Ban, he was signed up to new shows on rival Melbourne networks. The King of Pop Farnham premiered his new 5 minute week nightly HSV7 program Revolution (commencing 8 June 1970, 85 episodes). The show would not survive beyond the Ban’s removal. One episode of Revolution has been recently discovered, featuring Farnham covering Glen Campbell’s Visons of Sugar Plums, an album cut from his third LP.
