Scopitones!






A one word goldmine! Scopitones, the granddaddy of MTV. Starting off in France, this 'spectacular new entertainment medium' spread throughout Europe & the States during the 60's, showcasing all manner of campy goodness - in full-colour & full-sound! Bars, taverns, nite spots & nite clubs played host to these 16mm movie jukeboxes, giving punters access to a bevy of scintillating films, famous faces & swinging tunes, all at the drop of a few coins. Damn that's cool. COZ
