Roburt Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Not sure if this will work..if not I will try & find originals.... https://www.facebook.com/#!/david.ferguson.9480/media_set?set=a.111831283947.94811.578878947&type=3 Works fine, some great ads up there.
Robbk Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Bet you didn't have to hand across a 3 Dollar Bill for any of these 45's ............. Nope! Bought both white DJ and store stocker of "Sandra" in 10 cent bins, and That Dubs' record in a 3 for a Dollar bin, within one year of their releases.
Robbk Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Back to the 50's again .......... .. & who's that lurking in the group (Ray P methinks) .... I don't think that was their biggest seller ("Their greatest hit").
Tiberius Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 Here's a couple from old Billboard magazines which usually contained a good few of these adverts in each edition. 1
Roburt Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 Best leave your shoes off during this hot weather ........... 1
Roburt Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) Wonder if its too late to wing off a letter to Dept. B for promo copies of these two ............ Edited August 10, 2013 by Roburt
Roburt Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Don't think too many current hip-hoppers would be too pleased having this used to promote their latest release ....... 1
Roburt Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 RCA blowing their own trumpet WAY BACK in the day ............ .. so just how long (3 / 4 years ?) did they keep putting out stuff on both 45 & 78 ?? 1
Roburt Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 Never even realised that this 'limited edition' LP existed till I saw this ad .......... 1
Roburt Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 Thought I'd add a few more record company trade ads from the 60's ............ 1
Roburt Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) And one more to finish the day off ........... ... I'll make it a topical one as certain places (hotels, restaurants - to promote their special Xmas deals have put up Xmas trees already in their lobbies) ... ... so here's Chicago based femme Candy Love ..... .... ... XMAS THIS EARLY: Uh, Boy, That's a No No ........... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlw5ahdY9jI Edited August 29, 2013 by Roburt
Roburt Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Country singer Kenny O'Dell has a couple of collectable (non-country) tracks, at least one of which was chased by NS fans .......... .... here's a 1967 ad for one of his releases but I've had to add a couple of bits to it to make it a bit relevant .......
Roburt Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Straight from the ridiculous to the sublime (artist-wise that is) .............. .... an ABC ad for an Impressions 45 put out back in 67 .......
Roburt Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) A November 67 ad for a Rojac 45 ............... Edited August 30, 2013 by Roburt 1
Roburt Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Only a couple of pages in each edition of Billboard were full colour (the front & back pages usually). Some other pages had limited colour (2/3 different colours) but most pages were just black pictures & print. To take extra advantage of the front page being full colour, the mag sold advertisements there (no doubt at an additional charge) that basically were just pictures of a group or artist with text relating to their latest release. No real graphics AND if you didn't see the small extra word tagged onto the blurb, you might even think it wasnt even an advert .............
Roburt Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Some record companies got a bit luckier. They would submit photos (with text) picturing a 'newsworthy' event (in their opinion) and these could get placed in the mag without payment being necessary. No doubt, if a big label (such as say United Artists) placed a full page ad in almost every edition of the mag, this could easily help in influencing the mag's editorial staff to use a submission coz it was 'newsworthy'. The top left part of the following montage of Sharon Redd related bits is one such item. Of course, Sharon would go on to bigger (& better ?) things in the 70's / 80's but the picture documents her start in the recording biz. OF COURSE ...... I doubt this was her first actual experience of a recording studio, as no doubt her dad (King Records Gene Redd) and her brother (Gene Redd Jr -- Old Town, Mercury, Stephanie) had taken her along to some sessions they were in on.
Roburt Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Back on track with a Dynamic offering that's Charlie Foxx related .......... ........... it was all HAPPENING back then .......... 1

Guest turntableterra Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 here is an advertisement for RCA 45`s in general. its from 1950, on the following page is an ad for the "new" bob hope movie "fancy pants". This is one of the earliest adverts for 45 rpm records. there are earlier ones from 1949 when they were first introduce to the market. originally released in differing colours for each different genre, they reverted to all black vinyl . the ad proudly announces that you can "easily store them in their hundreds on bookshelves"................. gosh, if they only knew!
