Psychedelic Promos & Radio Spots Vol. 1


(3.9 stars; 6 reviews)

“Psychedelic Promos & Radio Spots” is an outa-site eight-volume series that includes hundreds of (very slightly) trippy radio commercials for shuttered music clubs, new records and movies, upcoming concerts and discontinued products from a half-century ago. You'll also hear then-popular rock groups performing groovy advertising jingles for cereals, soda, shoe stores, jeans, hot dogs and deodorant. (My personal favorites are Iron Butterfly for Ban roll-on, and the Rolling Stones for Rice Krispies.) Put some flowers in your hair, adjust your granny glasses and love beads, and take a trip back to the swingin' '60s! Each volume includes a full-color cover illustration. Audio files are individual lo-fi MP3s, numbered sequentially within each volume for no apparent reason. Some volumes are missing a file or two; I don’t have them, so please don’t ask for them.

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.

(5 stars)

I was a bicycle paper delivery boy in the 70s for the Houston Post. Some of the newspapers were huge depending on the day. I had to make 4, 5 or 6 trips back home to reload my bag. What I consider the good ole days. By the way my parents bought my bike from Sears catalog. The week or more it took to arrive seemed liked an eternity. Remember it well.

Incredible
