SWINGING LONDON

 

«London was where youth culture finally cemented its hold on all forms of expression, and made itself loudly and exuberantly known.

Scene no 95: Young boys are playing music and singing inside their car (AA toys, The Idols, Zinging! Swinging! On the Monkee-Mobile, made in Greece), and young girls are getting ready to dance (Louis Marx toys, Teenage Cuties, made in Gt. Britain, and s&ε toys, Mechanical Twist Dancer with box, made in Japan).
