Wow it looks like a movie set, it seems so strange to see photos of that age in colour and such great condition. I wonder if they've been touched up...they are great, I love old photographs...in a couple of them they look as though they didn't have a care in the world...you can't even imagine what they were going through

[King Gizzard]

Doesn't look as anywhere near as old as I thought it was when there's colour

Aw They look like they're having fun.
The pictures honestly look like they were took in the 80s.

It's nice the way they got to fight in colour and in black and white.

So, so weird seeing pictures like this. It sounds stupid, but it's hard to envisage what things were like when all you have is black and white photos.

These look like they were taken yesterday. Surreal

[Harry!]

They so look like these are photos from a behind the scenes movie video. It does make a difference in colour, you almost think that everything in the past was black and white in the eyes of the people.

Incredible photos
