I think it originally came from a public archive, Haringey? and was posted ( as far as I can remember) without credit to its creator. I took the liberty of editing it all down to the most interesting Muswell Hill shots and set it to the Percy Faith soundtrack, which I thought was particularly apt. The original film shows a lot more of the surrounding areas including Crouch End.
It's all exactly the same now, except cars & buses WOULD now stop for you if you were waiting to cross at a zebra crossing ! The police box has gone though.
Just got it from youtube Adam. July Andrews in the first clip in Dukes avenue used to score for a south London cricket club. A neighbour of mine played when she scored. Must ask him again what club it was?
You obviously don;t understand music history, this is a remake of the Tornados #1 hit from 1962 with the original Drummer Clem Cattini. Incidentally, The original version was the first record of "The British Invasion". So skate down memory lane!
I hate iTunes, and living in the States I can't download on Amazon. Hopefully the album will be available on Bandcamp or www.7digital.com sometime soon.
+Neil Palmer Yeah. iTunes is a bit of a scourge. If we are not careful they will eventually own every bit of music and sell it back to us like some kind of utility. I will check out 7digital.
