Here's some incredibly rare footage, circa 1972, showing some teddy boys getting their hair done, and poncing around in front of the second incarnation of Malcolm McLaren & Vivienne Westwood's boutique on Kings Road in London, Too Fast Too Live To Young To Die. Thanks to T.Tex for the youtube link.

From British Pathe. According to them, this footage was unused. Unused from what, I have no idea. Click on the photo to view the clip:

Pathe News did a lot of wild shooting, footage shot just in case they needed it in a hurry. I've been through some of the footage shot locally here in France, for instance, and there are a lot of running-the-bulls sequences and religious procession sequences that were shot but not used. '72 was kinda late for the Teds to be a threat, but I guess just in case Brighton ever happened again, Pathe was ready!
Thats funny Ed, but its probably true. The British Pathe site is a real treasure trove.
