Er, not really! lol . Were you even around in the 90's? ...the music didn't sound like this at all. It's not 80's either, and nor is it proper 70's disco; it's actually new music (or within last 10 years, trying to sound retro/70's). Certain bits of it give it away as not being authentic 70's music.
I loved the Policeman back then, you could chat to them for ages and they had a sense of humour, My sons were 7 and 3 we had so much fun as Londoners. The place was a lot safer then. Edit:: I moved away from South London where I was born, 23 years ago, never looked back
I think the skyline looked better in the 1980s, especially city of london with NatWest Tower and all the smaller office blocks around it. Too much glass buildings nowadays with no character.

Some people are just not very good at finding music to suit a video. They think it doesn't matter, but it does. It can enhance a video so much. Whereas a bad choice of soundtrack can make people move on after 10 seconds.....even if the video imagery is high quality or interesting. An annoying soundtrack can ruin all of this - like here for example.
@@johnoneill5884 if you were around at the time you would. It's a skill finding the right soundtrack to a video - it's alot harder then you think. Many people don't have it..... including you evidently. I'm also guessing you weren't around back then, so no.....you don't know!
Why did they delete Julia walking with Herb Ritts? There was a large field and mature trees along the boundary line - a fence, and beyond that a road. Very dry.
I was 8 in 1963, living at Brentwood in Essex, Hornchurch Urban District Council became London Borough of Havering in in that year, also, Severe Winters with -15C heavy snow/frosts and a pee souper Feb/March. Upminster Essex became London Borough Havering, I mentioned Upminster due to my new school. Also Sir Alec Douglas-Home only served as Prime Minister for 363 days in 1963, but he oversaw the abolition of resale price maintenance and took a tough stance in dealing with the trade unions.

1983? Unemployment hit 3.2 million and Britain’s manufacturing output was in freefall! The country was still at its weakest since the 1930s. Britain only started to recover after the liberalisation of the financial services sector three years later.
