For Immediate Release

Sixties Documentary “Tonite Let's All Make Love In London” Feat. Pink Floyd To Be Released on CD & Limited Edition Pink Vinyl!

Newly remastered from the original master tape!

London - The British film director and pop promo auteur Peter Whitehead's kaleidoscopic 1967 documentary is a vivid and controversial snapshot of the height of London's “Swinging” era. 

Featuring interviews with a diverse selection of iconic figures in British and international pop culture – from artists such as David Hockney and Alan Aldridge, through to actors such as Michael Caine and Julie Christie, the author Edna O’Brien, Beat Poet and writer Allen Ginsberg, and Rolling Stones manager and founder of Immediate Records, Andrew Loog Oldham, the movie is rightly regarded as both a celebration and critique of the London “Summer of Love”. 

At its heart was a soundtrack album which featured renditions of “Interstellar Overdrive” by The Pink Floyd, “Here Come The Nice” by Small Faces, and contributions from the enigmatic Vashti Bunyan, Brit blue-eyed soulster Chris Farlowe and vocal duo Twice As Much. 

Newly remastered from the original master tape, the album brilliantly captures the overheated atmosphere and ferocious pace of the times. 

“Tonite Let's All Make Love In London” is available on 180-gram heavyweight audiophile vinyl (first 1000 copies pressed on pink vinyl)! 

Also available on gatefold SleevePac CD and digital download.

Released 2 June 2017

Hi,

I wrote a review of this film a long time ago, but I can not find it, and will do so again after watching the film again.

There are some outstanding things in it, and it's nice to see a few things added to this to make the whole event more complete and varied, and to show some things that what has become "progressive music" and "progrock" has long since forgotten, in not only poetry, but also art ... some of which is quite visible in the film, and not exactly identified, so we can go ... she was there, too? ... or he was there, too? kind of thing.

I often think that too many people were simply way too ripped going around these things to be able to get any specially meaningfull understanding of anything ... and too much of it comes off as sad, and sometimes pathetic ... like the actor pretty much suggesting that he is there to pick up the girls.

Some of these are quite enigmatic. Julie Christie has, to my knowledge, never said anything about it, and she was even involved with Brian Eno, which kinda suguggests that she knew the music a bit better than her status as an acting symbol for the movie industry. It would not be surprising to find that she, like many of the others, had a bit of a time experimenting and having fun, during those days.

There are some really great bits in the film ... if you ever read Allen Ginsburg, something in his poetry does not click ... and then you hear him speak his poem, and .... kaboom ... it just expands and flies beautifully. One always hopes that poetry can do that and people learn to appreciate the wording and the words, as opposed to assuming that song lyrics are more important and better than poetry, which is the rock idiom's idea of what "words" mean!

All in all, it is a wonderful snapshot of the time and place, and the freedoms that were enjoyed and how people viewed it. Sadly, the media killed a lot of this stuff, and kinda buried under drugs and loud music, taking away the "soul" of a lot of music with it.

It is, like Woodstock, a massive document, that shows something of an artistic scene that really needed to be developed further, instead of killed. As such, it was probably the 20th century's strongest artistic movement as it had film, theater, music, arts and literature, as opposed to a simple media fabricated style of music for popular consumption.

Enjoy it ... you might not see, or appreciate something like this in one lifetime ... these things are rare and an opportunity, but like a famous spokesperson, the media and folks in charge do not like things that threaten the very fiber of social structure, by something that is (for them) completely unknown and (sometimes) sinful.
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
