I subtitled it in five segments on my RU-vid channel "Millentrax Miscellany". Here's the link to part one. The other parts are also there. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--I6Y_Ubzf8k.html

MNN...I am wondering. Do you think it looks later than early '60s in the 'social documentary' part of it. Like stock footage of post-war Liverpool is mixed with the George Cassidy 'slice-of-life' bit from almost mid - 60s? later period. The long hair and fashion and social consciousness vibe makes me feel it. . Condescending-but-fascinating filming of the housing situation. So perhaps it is summer of '65 by the time they are making it? Maybe '64? But definitely not late '50s when the Beatles were coming through.
@@TheMerseySound1 Thanks Mike, I thought it was "Scotty" and I now remember that he was in the Mysteries. I knew Brian well in the early days. Roy Ellis, drummer in the Defiants/laterly Defiance is trying to get in touch with him. Do you know of his whereabouts? Thanks Rob.
@@robluke6934 Not a clue but I'd like to talk to him aswell. I'll keep you posted if anything about him turns up. By the way Rob I messaged the Zelda Plum facebook page a while ago wanting to buy a CD of the group's live recordings from 1970 but haven't heard anything. Can you help?
??? WTF does that mean? Before the Beatles went to Hamburg they were considered to be one of the worse groups in Liverpool. When they came back, we were the worst!
No the scene adapted with the times. In the early 60s the local scene was based on Rock & Roll, Pop and guitar instrumentals, by the time this was filmed R&B was the big trend and guitar instrumentals had fallen wayside
