"Jumpin' Jack Flash" is a song by the English #rock band #theRollingStones, released as a non-album single in 1968. Called "supernatural #DeltaBlues by way of #SwingingLondon" by Rolling Stone magazine, the song was seen as the band's return to their blues roots after the #baroquePop and #psychedelia heard on their preceding albums #Aftermath (1966) (which did feature some blues songs), #BetweenTheButtons (1967) and especially #TheirSatanicMajestiesRequest (1967).

DailymotionThe London Nobody Knows (1969) - video DailymotionA glimpse at the off-the-beaten-track of England's capital city in the late 1960s, The London Nobody Knows (1967), stands in stark contrast to the international glamorous image of London as a center of innovation and art in the Swinging Sixties. Narrator James Mason—dapper and serious, wielding an umbrella—wanders through the crumbling relics of abandoned, once-grand theaters, speaks to the poor and indigent at a Salvation Army hostel, and takes us into the Holborn public lavatory that once boasted live goldfish in tanks to look at while urinating. "These fish don't live here now, of course," Mason comments off-handedly, gesturing with his brolly. "We just popped them in by way of illustration."
