A documentary film from 1967 that displayed Swinging London at its peak, Tonite Let’s All Make Love In London—directed by Peter Whitehead—featured interviews with John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Mick Jagger, artists such as David Hockney and Alan Aldridge, actors such as Michael Caine, Vanessa Redgrave 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.
It also featured a soundtrack, released in 1968, that included “Interstellar Overdrive” by Pink Floyd (billed at the time as The Pink Floyd), “Here Come The Nice” by Small Faces, and contributions from singers Vashti Bunyan and Chris Farlowe and the vocal duo Twice As Much.
