Apparently, this was the first take of "J Friends":

They seemed to do that on occasion back then. I know there's at least two versions of Lefty selling the 'U,' because the brief clip used in the A&E special is not the same as the version SW uploaded on YouTube.

Definitely doesn't have as much energy as the one we normally see. Plus, some of the lip-syncing is off.

So how do people acquire those very high-quality Season 1 eps on YouTube?

Here's Elmo's imaginary trip, the sketch where Kevin Clash first found his voice for Elmo. It was released on the '40 Years of Sunny Days' DVD, but I don't think it's been on YouTube before:

I'm not sure if these were put on here or not, because I'm too lazy to read all 110 pages of this thread, so here we go.
My good (internet) friend, BigDexterMan86, who posted some of the mentioned clips above/before (J Friends Take 1, Elmo's Debut) posted these.

The first ''Rubber Duckie'' version (1970)

Monsters see a C (1969)

Ernie goes rock hunting (1969)

Monsters look at A (1969)

And last for now..

Yes, he does repost, but that's not it. Most videos he restored completely or redubbed. Reposting can be bad, but some videos he gives his sources and credit to where he got it from. We all have opinions, though.

Besides, how would it be any different if we watched it from another channel?
