Psychedelic Promos & Radio Spots Vol. 6

(4.5 stars; 2 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.
