ARROWS, TOUGHEN UP, 1974

The band Arrows second single Toughen Up, a follow up to their debut top 10 hit Touch Too Much. In spite of their success with their first single, in a situation which is not the norm, Arrows did not get an appearance on the show Top Of The Pops. The show was crucial to boosting record sales during that time period, and almost guaranteed a hit. It was a courtesy the show usually extended to acts who had debut singles make the charts. Arrows were the anomaly, didn't get an appearance, and this record hovered just under the top 30 for a few months, selling a fair amount on the strength of the band's popularity stemming from their debut hit. Without promotion and TV appearances it vanished. However, their next single My Last Night With You was a hit, and the band did Top Of The Pops with that record, proving the point that without a TOTP show appearance it was almost impossible to have a chart hit in England for a UK based band. This clip was produced and directed by Mike Mansfield, and the recording produced by Mickie Most on his RAK label. This rare TV appearance of Toughen Up only aired on London Weekend Television's morning show Saturday Scene, with Sally James hosting.
