boba Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I just recorded a bunch of obscure 45s, some advertisement records, a promotional record for another other record, and a public service announcement records. I think records like these are really cool, just sharing. Other people seem to not be as interested but if they are i have more stuff like this, maybe I should do a blog. Lou Rawls does a creepy Christian PSA record (4 spots): https://www.divshare.com/download/25036677-d47 The Avons do a promotional 45 promoting their Groove 45 "Rolling stone" along with some school and weather announcements. They're trying to sound sexy and some of these are really awkward: https://www.divshare.com/download/25036674-748 The Avons (actually "Sonya and the Avons", I don't know who Sonya was but I don't think she was an Avon) do an ad for Riceland Rice: https://www.divshare.com/download/25036671-5c9 An ad for a furniture and jewelry store in Atlanta called "Fair". Flipside is a straight R&B instrumental and is really good actually: https://www.divshare.com/download/25036684-e41 can record some ads or similar 45s if people care 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Stephen T Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 wow! What a revelation! I only have the James Brown anti drug ones. Would be very interested to hear more- thanks for sharing Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Bo Diddley Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) The only one I have is the Steve Karmen - Breakaway EP done for Pontiac Motors. 6 tracks. I think I've seen one on eBay a few times by Sidney Barnes promoting a Furniture Shop or something! I assume there'll be some Motown type stuff done Cheers Kev Bod Edited January 14, 2014 by bo diddley Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Stephen T Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Wow- these are amazing. Will jazz up my shows with them- many many thanks. I think a blog is an excellent idea- I could point it out on my shows Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
boba Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 i'm glad some people here are interested, i have the sidney barnes furniture store one, i have some political ones (e.g. for candidates) which are cool too. i'll try to start a blog when i get a chance, with scans of the record.

Pete S Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Tony MIddleton - Rota Roota Grind after a Plumbing Copmany I think??? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
boba Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 What's the easiest way to start a blog like this, each post would have some text, a record photo, and audio which I can host elsewhere. Tumblr? Another type of promo which I've seen (but don't own any of) are ad acetates used to promote specific shows that radio stations would run.
