I'm pretty sure it was posted recently in here.

Very eerie footage, almost sad in a way.

Great to see and brought back some memories, but it looked like it was filmed with 1920's equipment

It certainly has an eerie feel to it, perhaps a poor quality film and done on a particularly dreary winters day.
We are at the beginnings of the most successful time in the clubs modern history and yet this film gives the feel that the very worst things imaginable have gone on.
