The slide is stamped as "4th November 1978", so rights at the peak of the explosion of Punk music. Rat Trap by The Boomtown Rats was at Number 3 in the UK Singles Charts, Public Image by PIL was at Number 9, and the top twenty featured Sham 69 and Buzzcocks. Heck, at number 40 was Ivor Biggun and The Winker's Song.
Yet, outside of that punk bubble, in the general public, fashions changed slowly. Especially for Bridesmaids and ...gulp... Bridegrooms??? ...and Summer Nights by John Travolta and Olivia Newton John was number one. A weird time.
Bonus - An unsolved mystery: the coffins found on Arthur's Seat
