    Good God ! I never thought I would lay eyes on Jim Gretty ever again ! "Freight Train, Freight Train, Goin' So Fast ......"
    I remember old Mrs. Hessy behind the counter with her bleached Blonde hair piled high and a cigarette permanently dangling from her mouth ! Her catch phrase was "Don't touch the Cymbals Love ! "
    Peter Hepworth in the basement selling Organs, lovely lovely bloke.
    Bernard Michaelson hiding his Bacon Butties in his desk drawer while he was wooing Frank Hessy's Daughter ! Fantastic place, Fantastic Days. I knew Bob Wooler quite well, lovely bloke too.
    Thanks so much for posting.

    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.

      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
