Noticed the newspaper headline Cowdreys Caribbean Comeback. It must refer to the 1967 Port of Spain Fourth Test. Colin Cowdrey scored 148 and 71 in that match.
I loved that period in my life in London. The music and films were great, there was artistic use of colours everywhere. There was a feeling in the air (as sung by Thunderclap Newman - Something In The Air).

The Kinks un de mes groupes préférés des sixties..Chanteur poète Ray Davies j'adore ! inoubliable ! "Waterloo Sunset " une autre pépite ...parmi tant d'autres
Cool video! I love the Kinks music, and this one is one of their best. I do love songs from summers gone by, like this one. Summer is my favorite season! Thanks for this upload 😄
This would be late 1960s judging by the fashions and the hippie paintings and colours. I am so happy to have lived through this fascinating era. It was beautiful. No drugs. I shopped at a groovy shop called Goopie. The shop smelt like incense and cheesecloth. And the colours were like a rainbow. There was another called the East India Trading Company. It sold sandals, bedding, everything to decorate ones house. It was very cool. I live in Australia.
Awesome video, I thought I saw Yoko there. Also, the woman with the Bob Dylan clothing @1:50 is probably Michael Caine's wife. She was a model and Caine saw her on TV and wanted to meet her, he was in love. They are still married.
No, I don’t believe that beautiful young lady is Shakira Caine. Shakira is Guyanese and has a little bit lighter skin complexion and her eyebrows were thin and arched more.
Anyone who hasn't seen the film The boat that rocked is missing out on a hilarious account of the true story of the pirate radio ships of the time and their demise,great sound track including this song, find it and watch it again and again and again 😊
Having been a teenager in the 1960s this marvellous film shows how people seemed to get on with life, even though this is set in Carnaby Street. Many city's were neatly laid out, and Councils actually kept the streets clean. One clear sign of the 60s was the smart appearance of people. No sign of track suits or trainer's. You seldom saw anyone wearing black as it so evident today. Even pop groups and Top of the Pops were colourful to watch. the great film, Summer Holiday from 1963 was a bright colourful story, that even though popular still today, would never be made in the dismal backdrop of so many TV and Cinema films.
Thanks for sharing! It was a colorful and optimistic time for many, even in the US where the counterculture had its beginnings due to the Vietnam War. I'm sure it was not so colorful for those who were drafted to fight. That was an entirely different perspective sadly. The brilliance and charm of Carnaby Street could also be found on the streets of San Francsico and other places on this side of the pond. The times we live in today are the exact opposite of what is shown in this video. We have more in common with those living in the squalor and hard times of the 1930s, without hope, without a future, in dread of the future, a world of shadow without color, unless the color is the redness of blood.
I live in the state of Sonora town San luis Rio Colorado I was very young we then 1964 collected albums.

I noticed this change at the time it was starting which was sometime between 2001 to 2006. By 2008, everyone was wearing black to work everyday. I can't stand it.
@@jenlarge9036Yes, in Australia too which is where I noticed the change. People still wore colours in the late 1990s. You stood out then if you wore black too often..now it's how everyone dresses all the time and it started somewhere between 2001 and 2006
"My girlfriend's run off with my car, and gone back to her ma and pa, telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty" - some of the greatest song lines of all time.
I was born in 66. I knew when I was little that it was a great time period. Then in the early 70s, I could feel that something changed and not for the better.
This brought back lots of memories, especially the paper dress. My mom had one that was lime green with navy flowers or paisleys all over. I'm wondering if it was some mail in from a paper towel company or something. I can't remember seeing her wearing it though. Caught a little glimpse of Yoko too ☮

Don't be jealous. Other generations always look glamorous in one respect or another because they are each so different. But that is merely change at work and work it does constantly. Every generation has its own challenges and its own opportunities. Every generation has to make the most of whatever the conditions are, the social mores and culture. And bad things have always happened, and always will happen ... as long as the world is run by humans. And some of us are going to be just plain unlucky; nothing is a given and there are no guarantees. Life has risks. Like they say, "this is not a perfect world." I would bet if such people were still alive today, that not many would regret having lived through two of the darkest decades of the 20th Century: the 1930s and 1940s. Why is because they managed to find meaning, inspiration, and happiness even in the darkest of times. That is possible when you are young, but it becomes more difficult as we age. But for everyone, regardless of age, are the benefits of advancements in technology as it continues to progress. Technology is only discriminating about age if the wrong people legislate it to be such. We have to be sure such people do not have that kind of control or we will all lose.
I was 16 in that year & although I didn’t live in London it was very hip (groovy & far out) scene in NYC. Very similar to London. Those were the days (and nights!!) Love the Kinks !!!
I was born in 1983, 17 years after that day, in another country with different culture and history... But please somebody, help me to understand, why i have strong nostalgic feelings after that video???
@Sergio_Hattifnatt "He was born in the summer of his 27th year, coming home to a place he'd never been before" John Denver's lyrics remind us its not unusual that sometimes we feel an affinity for a time and place which we haven't actually experienced.

From 1966 to about 1972. Were the best. The Monkeys, Hermans Hermits and the Beatles. British invasion. Fashion. Free love. To me when the Beatles broke up it ended that era.
There were two documentary films I used. This one is where the "All You Need Is Love" message appears: Out_Takes_Cuts_From_Cp_662__-Reel_1_Of_3-__Swinging_Britain_1967-MaJDYs31jEw Note the year in the file is 1967, meaning everything in the file is from 1967. The other file I used is also dated 1967. No credits in the films themselves.
Well that was a neat little time capsule. Seeing someone actually kind of wear the paper dresses I’ve read about was kind of neat. That beautiful girl in the cute red bikini would be nearing 80 now.
I looked up the Bus Stop shop. Open from 1969 to 1979 expanding to multiples store and even internationally. Interesting story--Lee Bender. I learned something anyway.
The documentary footage doesn't say, although these are mostly locals. It could be her or it could be someone who looks like her, a coincidence. This source footage was made before Lennon and Yoko met, I believe.
@@mikemunrowsretro8973 Lennon first met her in 1966 at (Barry Miles') Indica Gallery so she was certainly around in 66. But Lennon and Ono did not get together till around June 1968 (when he returned from India). So it could be her. Certainly looks like her!!
Also and not being a nit picky douche cause this vid was awesome, but i believe it was recorded around 1967/68 and not 1966. One reason is the bright colors on building cars, clothes etc. but also on a wall the was the title/chorus of The Beatles "All you Need is Love" painted on a wall. The song wasnt released until July /1967. 😊 its amazing how so much changed between 1965 to 1967. Just fn incredible
This has already been pointed out and discussed a number of times in comments. The three documentary films I used to create this video were all filmed throughout the year 1967.
Yeah I just went back further and saw a couple. My comment was really to express my amazement at how much changed in such a short time. I wasnt knocking your efforts
I was 8 and burning ants with a magnifying glass that particular Sunny Afternoon in 1966, Binswood Ave in Leamington Spa. Long time ago and better times.
The tax man's taken all my dough And left me in my stately home Lazin' on a sunny afternoon And I can't sail my yacht He's taken everything I got All I've got's this sunny afternoon Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze I got a big fat mama tryna break me And I love to live so pleasantly Live this life of luxury Lazin' on a sunny afternoon In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime My girlfriend's run off with my car And gone back to her ma and pa Tellin' tales of drunkenness and cruelty Now I'm sittin' here Sippin' at my ice cold beer Lazin' on a sunny afternoon Help me, help me, help me sail away Well, give me two good reasons why I oughta stay 'Cause I love to live so pleasantly Live this life of luxury Lazin' on a sunny afternoon In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime Oh, save me, save me, save me from this squeeze I got a big fat mama tryna break me And I love to live so pleasantly Live this life of luxury Lazin' on a sunny afternoon In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime
Also digging the sensible wash-n-wear clothes of the middle-aged folks on the sidewalks and the younger people just trying to get to their appointments.
If ever there was a video that could transport you back in time this is it.
INA is the French television archives channel full of time capsules.
Yea, I think this one is different than a lot of other videos of that time - I liked it a lot - had a more "real" feel to it than most.
I feel like I was there and I wasn't even born yet...but the feeling of familiarity I have with the the few years before my birth creeps me out sometimes...
to be precise, I would transport myself directly to 02:00
As a 12 y.o. kid, I bought a 45 record of this song and played it forever over and over....Ray Davies was one of the best British poets

No, some of them could be as young as 73. There are kids as young as 16 there and it was shot in summer 1967.
Yes ! I’m still here and there !🏡☀️

Not like today.
Its noticiable In this era, clothes were much brighter than they are today. Today, the colours worn are predominantly dark blue or black.
Indeed. People these days dress to blend in rather than stand out - as in the 19th century, when men wore identikit black suits and stove hats.
Not in Australia.

From 1966 to about 1972. Were the best. The Monkeys, Hermans Hermits and the Beatles. British invasion. Fashion. Free love. To me when the Beatles broke up it ended that era.
This film would be from summer 1968 - as there is a reference to The Beatles' All you Need is Love - which was the Christmas number 1 record in 1967.
There were two documentary films I used. This one is where the "All You Need Is Love" message appears: Out_Takes_Cuts_From_Cp_662__-Reel_1_Of_3-__Swinging_Britain_1967-MaJDYs31jEw
Note the year in the file is 1967, meaning everything in the file is from 1967. The other file I used is also dated 1967. No credits in the films themselves.
All you need UK no 1 1967 which would tie in with the cricket selection reference Chris Cowdrey on the newspaper.
0:51 - That has to be Yoko Ono. Her London years were 1966-1971. That's how she met John--he came to one her art shows.
Everything has gone horribly wrong since this video was made back in the 1960s!
You got that right.
I used to listen to this on the way to ROTC drills.
Who' is the Black Model with the Bob Dylan paper dress? Insanely beautiful.
Unfortunately, this being a Pathe documentary film short, no credits are given.
Could she be Donyale Luna?

@@potatohead6301 Googled her. Most probably is her as there is a similar dress of Andy Warhol she wore. An amazing woman. Taken too young.
Swinging London!
Loved the Biba store.
Well that was a neat little time capsule. Seeing someone actually kind of wear the paper dresses I’ve read about was kind of neat. That beautiful girl in the cute red bikini would be nearing 80 now.
Theres certainly some very beautiful young ladies in the video
J avais 18 ans et je de barquais de ma province pour commencer la fac.quel emerveillement.quelle liberte.
I looked up the Bus Stop shop. Open from 1969 to 1979 expanding to multiples store and even internationally. Interesting story--Lee Bender. I learned something anyway.
Im 64 nostalgie
Oh the memories! Vietnam took away from a better time. But this great song reminds me of it all!
Yoko Ono (0.50) ?
The documentary footage doesn't say, although these are mostly locals. It could be her or it could be someone who looks like her, a coincidence. This source footage was made before Lennon and Yoko met, I believe.
@@mikemunrowsretro8973 Lennon first met her in 1966 at (Barry Miles') Indica Gallery so she was certainly around in 66. But Lennon and Ono did not get together till around June 1968 (when he returned from India). So it could be her. Certainly looks like her!!
Yep, it was the it place, everybody wanted to be in London and that is Yoko
que hermoso!
So british ! So sixties !
Thanks! Glad you liked it. Some nice docu footage, glad it was avaialble.
Превосходно.🎉
Also and not being a nit picky douche cause this vid was awesome, but i believe it was recorded around 1967/68 and not 1966. One reason is the bright colors on building cars, clothes etc. but also on a wall the was the title/chorus of The Beatles "All you Need is Love" painted on a wall. The song wasnt released until July /1967. 😊 its amazing how so much changed between 1965 to 1967. Just fn incredible
This has already been pointed out and discussed a number of times in comments. The three documentary films I used to create this video were all filmed throughout the year 1967.
Yeah I just went back further and saw a couple. My comment was really to express my amazement at how much changed in such a short time. I wasnt knocking your efforts
I still have a dressing gown by Biba in my wardrobe 🤩
Nice times
Yes it was!
Biba at high Street Kensington top class❤❤❤
I was 8 and burning ants with a magnifying glass that particular Sunny Afternoon in 1966, Binswood Ave in Leamington Spa. Long time ago and better times.
One other thing. It went from straight leg pants to Bell Bottoms. Penny loafer shoes to hush puppies. So much fun.
The tax man's taken all my dough
And left me in my stately home
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
And I can't sail my yacht
He's taken everything I got
All I've got's this sunny afternoon
Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
I got a big fat mama tryna break me
And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime
My girlfriend's run off with my car
And gone back to her ma and pa
Tellin' tales of drunkenness and cruelty
Now I'm sittin' here
Sippin' at my ice cold beer
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
Help me, help me, help me sail away
Well, give me two good reasons why I oughta stay
'Cause I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime
Oh, save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
I got a big fat mama tryna break me
And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime
Thank you!
Look at how London once was ❤
Also digging the sensible wash-n-wear clothes of the middle-aged folks on the sidewalks and the younger people just trying to get to their appointments.
