Blow Up - Michelangelo Antonioni (starring David Hemmings, Vanessa Redgrave etc) feat. THE YARDBIRDS Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page

 The Yardbirds in the film 'Blow Up'

The Train Kept a Rollin’



From the 1966 movie "Blowup" starring David Hemmings, featuring Vanessa Redgrave, Jane Birkin, Sarah Miles and model Veruschka. With Jeff Beck having a fit (unhappy to wreck the guitar it is said). The song "Stroll On" was a movie lyrics re-write of their hit song "Train Kept 'A Rollin'. Notice at the very end of the clip that no one was at all interested in Jeff Beck's discarded guitar. Well Hemmings character does run out carrying the neck and discards it on the street Also note all the Vox amps, which were all used during that period.


         featuring it is said (not least by her) Janet Street-Porter




well despite Janet even being on record as saying it IS her and her rate of pay the rest of the daily picked up student extras got £5 a day and she was chosen then to dance so got the princely sum of £35 it is said, she noted exactly what she was wearing too. Even though this looks nothing like her to me but then we were all so much younger then . . . . . . . we’re older than that now!
