Saw this on TV Jan 2019 & felt it deserved a more Honest Review. It sets the scene for 1973 rather poorly, it's just not very Authentic & Big Names like Ricky T & Steve C add confusion. The Tattoos in 1973 are totally wrong, decades too early it looks like a bad 1990s film. The Music itself is pretty good, some tracks that were Not Around in 1973 like the Unissued Marvin Gaye & The Originals are sore points. The feeble looking record props with photocopied labels looks a bit amateur. Lou Pride wasn't bootlegged until 1975 yet another wrong 'un. To stay with it but it just ends up as a Druggie & Violent Film, it lacks the charm of another recent NS film that was nicely done. The Music sounds Awful on the film, they mix it so badly trying to make out it's a DJ's 1970s Sound but it's way wrong & also they only play tiny bits of tracks like The Tomangoes early on. Unintelligent Product sort of Film, not nice, not authentic & not memorable. The fact they play more of Pop tracks is a bit insulting too. One to Avoid if you want Authenticity, if you want to hear mindless swearing every few seonds you'll love it. I didn't.
