In this rare clip from Countdown episode 212 (transmitted 23 September 1979), singer Wendy Stapleton delivers a live vocal for ‘Heart of Stone,’ her first single for Mushroom Records and a Rolling Stones cover.

The video effects showcase the imaginative techniques used by Countdown’s production crew to make every performance visually engaging.

Reflecting on her Countdown days, Stapleton adds, 'I think I appeared maybe six times – it was always a good experience and given the show’s popularity, you would never turn it down.'
