I left school the year after this film was made. And started work in Liverpool City Centre. The office buildings were mostly of Edwardian design and survived the second world war impact on the city. Shops were plentiful with all styles catered for. We had dress well at Peter Pell for the suits. Flemings for denim jeans, that had not caught on with younger generation Streets were safer, and cleaner. Pubs were well run and a place to meet up. Anyone who recalls the city centre from the 60s might be hard pressed to say the current centre has the same appeal to all ages, like it did in the 1960s and 70s

The floor was stone and there was nothing like curtains or carpets which could catch fire. The fact that the vast majority were smoking would have been the likely fire source, if any. I don't know if there were any fire exits or fire extinguishers.

Some of those tracks sound just like the Beatles particularly the Mersey Beats song at the end it's almost like John singing, in fact it almost sounds like the Beatles covered their song, that line " gonna have some fun tonight" and did you hear the harmonica bit hard to know who influenced who, suppose it's like most musical scenes based in a specific location there's a lot of give and take both ways all influencing each other to make a consistent sound.

"This long, lank hairstyle"??!! Come to think of it, they weren't really very long at all. Judging by these mid-1960's hairstyles here, either. The hair got far longer in men, as the 1960's progressed. (ie: the late 1960's). This commentator doesn't half talk a load of old tripe!!
