Acid house TV report: Shoom, Spectrum, The Trip and Clink Street, 1988

1988

A contemporary television report filmed inside the first London acid house nights - Shoom, Spectrum, The Trip and the Clink Street parties - in the year the sound crossed from Chicago via Ibiza into the capital. It catches the crowds, the smiley iconography and the alarmed press framing at the moment both were forming.
