Wish I could find a large enough scan of the disingenuous Columbia Records classic "The Man Can't Bust Our Music"

You cut off the best part of the Alan Parsons ad:

They are at the summit of international rock: NOT!

Here's a nifty Jobriath ad:

http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/42/l_ea0ddec4a1fa4ec3bbb81e4c2bc936a0.jpg

I remember seeing this:
http://www.indevelopment.org/2002/classicads/zappa250.jpg

...in one of my cousin's old Marvel comics when I was quite young and being totally mystified as to what it was advertising. Little did I know one day it would be one of my favourite albums.

I posted that one upthread.

Sorry, doesn't show up for me.

That Pretzel Logic ad with the giant cartoon guy is so great!

http://www.superseventies.com/oaaa/oaaa_ramones.jpg

There's a two-page version of this where they mixed horrified reviews in with all the raves.

That Pretzel Logic ad with the giant cartoon guy is so great!

I think that guy is supposed to be popular Britishes comicbook character "Desperate Dan". Which is a groovy joke.

giant cartoon guy is Desperate Dan!

The Jobriath ad is the same photo that's used for the album's gatefold sleeve. Apparently he wasn't happy about the statue arse as he thought his own looked better.

I heard those ads made Van Dyke Parks really sad and upset.

dammit :-(

I don't remember if that's true or something I made up.

Well I guess that the counter argument is "You lost $35 thousand on an album that got rave reviews? Maybe you should have promoted it a bit more."

http://vandergraafgenerator.co.uk/overad.jpg

love just how much that is basically a vw ad refashioned for van dyke parks.

Shouldn't "Vinyl Erotica" apply to the whole Double Fun album, though?

my all time fave image of laura paired w the most idiotic tag line ever (pl excuse the watermark):

Van Dyke Parks ad is total classic. There's something about the tone that's so of its time.

The thing that blows my mind about these, and a lot of magazine ads from the '70s, is how *text heavy* they are. I think magazine ads have been all about "tldr" my whole life. Just pics of sexy people and two or three words now.

all that text gets me all swoony tbh

Dude, dude, dude, me too. Ok, I started smoking when I was 23, when any doc will tell you smoking almost never starts after teen years. Do you want to know why? I got all these '70s Playboys at an estate sale, and every other ad is for cigarettes, of course, full of loving, seductive paragraphs about how cigarettes are the most delicious, essential, amazing things ever. It was all that text that got me!

For an alternate approach, maybe somebody can post the ad for Costello's Imperial Bedroom (not having any luck finding it). I think it had a single word: "Masterpiece?"

we've come a long way. the xx album simply had one letter (X) on it's adverts. no text, no WORDS at all!

That comes from the VW Beetle ads; a picture of the item and loads of text about the technical merits of said item.

Abb if you weren't already married I wd propose to you for this <3

For what it's worth, we believe that 'OVER' represents something of a milestone. On it Peter Hammill has managed to write down and interpret musically a description of love from a man's viewpoint...

also love the description of the ramones as occupying space, "in the dark netherworld between Herman's Hermits and ZZ Top..."

Yes that made me lol as well.

Almost as funny if you're the Ramones' accountant: "Punk with commercial potential."

I started smoking at 23, and am glad Columbia's "Masterpiece?" ad for Imperial Bedroom was no influence.

not an LP ad but in the "ballpark"

I like the parallel between the Lee Hazelwood and Nick Lowe copy.

Both have a weirdly butthurt quality for an ad.

Not sure why, but the images don't take. If you go here, there are ads for Leonard Cohen, Meatloaf, Uriah Heep, and a great Nixon ad for Moby Grape.

The man can't switch off our Bach.

i've always heard that slogan, but lolz at 'our Music' being Varese and Stockhausen instead of Jimi and Janis. prob the only cultural moment that avant-garde (even classical) composers could be pitched at the Youth market. Grab Hold!

After years of only reading about this ad campaign, my mind was blown when I finally saw this ad (Rolling Stone, November 1968).

man tyler GOOD spot there.

reading ads like the one for Stage Fright makes me wish, as I sometimes do, for a more ambitious mood in rock -- it's like, mainstream rock, its main ambition is & generally has been to reach a lot of people & sell a lot of records, which is fine, but the rhetoric of that Stage Fright ad - "This album is another further step* in The Band's development." (paragraph break) "In the development of our music." (paragraph break) "The music of our age." -- I mean, if that were the norm, the need to deflate it would be & was great, but I feel like there's also value of some kind in Taking It Too Seriously. That framing the presentation in those sorts of terms affects the actual text (i.e. the album)/experience in some way, and maybe also does so before it even gets made - there's this sense that whether the guys making the record are in fact too high to even think right, they're surrounded by this idea that what they're doing is somehow important, which, whether it's true or not (it's not), maybe compels them to aim high.

*lol editor plz

haha amazing.

there are a few quite well known ones that i've never seen like the Randy Newman 'his voice is really something once you get used to it' one and the blondie 'wouldn't you like to Rip Her To Shreds?' one. also unconfirmed but apparantly exist; eccho and the bunnymen's one for Ocean Rain with their own(?) quote on it saying 'the best album of all time'.

http://www.thewho.info/images/67SOad-Who.jpg

Not American, nor were they teenagers.

wow, weird.

Still, a new idea though. Give them points for that one.

Who could forget 1975, the year of Fogelberg?

Going for a select audience there: People with the same name as the artist...

'Is Your Name Leonard Cohen?'

From time to time you get the feeling that you want to disengage yourself from your life. Because you're no different from anyone else. And because your life is filled with the same love and the same hate and the same beauty and the same ugliness as everyone else's.

You want to withdraw into some kind of solitary contemplation -- a locked room or a quiet corner of your mind just to think about everything for a while. You. Her. It. That. Them.

If you put it all down on paper according to a form of meter and line, you're called a poet.

And if you're a poet who sets it all to music, then your name is Leonard Cohen.

And this is your second album of--for want of a better word--songs.

And these are your songs from a room.
On Columbia Records

That Frankie ad is fucking great! I love Billy Corgan's, too, the text reads like he is running for county commissioner.

So glad the Cohen album is not called "Songs--for want of a better word--from a room."

feel like there could probably be a great mad men-style show about PR departments at record labels in the late 1960s.

http://www.worthpoint.com/pmimages/images1/1/0807/22/1_e00baa61c172d2070c1355f0d2f2d94f.jpg

tyler be aware that at this moment there are network execs haranguing their drones to "get me the next mad men" and the one that gets it will be a period piece from a different era with readily i.d'able costume/prop scenarios

what I'm saying is given that there could be subplots involving rock stars (more of that costume/character stuff people go nuts for) you should probably draft a pitch and get it to somebody

I remember a line from Julian Cope's autobiography where he says something like:

"People naturally assume Record Label people have some sort of respect for the artists on their label. This is hardly ever true"

I think tyler's series should end in 1975 - the year of Fogelberg.

do you guys think "All Roads Lead To Fogelberg" is a good title y/n

Dylan Boyz II Fogel Men

Found this when looking for something else:

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NzM2oX8JzJY/TJQEH1Fyv0I/AAAAAAAACdw/ZY4pYbOaiyQ/s400/ad_cassette.jpeg

aw, those lil beegees, so cute

tyler, aerosmith otm, that could be a great show

already have my opening line for the pitch: "'Mad Men' on acid -- literally!!"

WOW at that 'but the man can't bust our music' ad

as soon as I get out of this jail, I'm going to go back home and finish listening to my Terry Riley, Walter Carlos, Varese & Stockhausen albums and I think I'll also pick up those two new recordings of music by Charles Ives

(that is still the best recording of the Concord Sonata btw and it is still out of print)

Wish I could find the audio for that old radio spot for the third Velvet Underground album read by WNEW-FM DJ Rosko, the text of which fits the aesthetic of this thread.

I've got that file--one for White Light/White Heat, too. I'll see if I can upload them to my site.

Actually worked:

White Light/White Heat
3rd

Cool thanks.

Wow..."The Velvet Underground...this is you." So Christine O'Donnell's biting from them as well as Antoine Dodson!

If you put it all down on paper according to a form of meter and line, you're called a poet.

And if you're a poet who sets it all to music, then your name is Leonard Cohen.

"Yet if your name is Mort Cohen, they don't call you a poet.
You're just an ad copy man to them. Sure, you bring home a nice check,
have a few whiskey sours on the company account after work,
fly to Los Angeles for client meetings every now and then,
but does anyone recognize your talent?
They don't care that you got the Midol account
The West Village girls aren't interested in how many Band-Aids your last campaign sold.
And they don't care that you wrote this ad
for a bunch of songs
by some jerkoff named Leonard."

Nugent on Fender

"That's enough to give my audiences a preview of World War III"

Now he's just on the board of the NRA.

That Velvets "3rd" one is blowing my mind. "That's because you don't have the new Velvet Underground"

Ah, that's off that 'promo' single.

I didn't know about the one for the 2nd album.

That first one for "Black and Blue" gets talked about for a very long time in Pop Music and Morality, the pretty hilarious Mormon-penned book about why most rock is bad. The author made it out to be like the Hustler cover with the hamburger grinder of the music world.

http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/3457/983c3.jpg

hardly a pleasant mental image

So, inspired by this thread and the Billboarding site, I wrote a story about late 60s and 70s advertising in The Word (not online) and spoke to Stan Cornyn (in-house at Warners - did Neil Young, Joni, Randy, Van Dyke, etc) and Marty Pekar (freelance for Columbia - Dylan, Costello, Nick Lowe). I asked Pekar if he had anything to do with the infamous The Man Can't Bust Our Music campaign and he said this:

There was this guy named Jim Fouratt [who later co-founded the Gay Liberation Front) purported to be an expert on hippies. He would smoke marijuana in his office, he was the expert. And he came up with his knuckleheaded campaign and people said, Well Jim Fouratt he knows kids, let’s go with this. I had nothing to do with that. Nothing! It was horrible. I think the stuff he did got ridiculed and they fired him but for six months he was God up there because the executives thought wow, here’s someone really tuned in to today. They didn’t have a clue, the executives, what was going on.

So there you go.

And Stan Cornyn confirmed that Van Dyke was indeed upset by the ad but got over it.

Not an ad for an album but it's...it's something:

https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/942825_10151625896402710_1078481884_n.jpg

Was there anybody that stupid in the 70s to believe that?

Andrew Garlack and his blurb look like they've been torn from a '70s version of The Onion.

spooky tooth look eminently punchable in that ad

"Andrew Garlack" is actor Vincent Gardenia so you're probably not far off the mark as to intent.

"The Men's Entertainment Magazine" ..

So this is a spoof. Couldn't understand how "Andrew Garlack" could be Spooky Tooth's road manager in 1976 when they'd long since split up by then, also I've never seen a road manager who looks like that!

Oh, OK. Good stuff, then!

"The Men's Entertainment Magazine" is Playboy. Did they do spoof ads?

It Isn't Punk. It's Punxy.
It Isn't Folk. It's Folxy.
It Isn't Funk. It's Funxy.
It Isn't Baroque. It's Baroxy.
It Isn't Goth. It's Gotshy.
It Isn't Avant-Garde. It's Avantsy-Gardsy.

Also, didn't know Roxymusic had four guitarists (or five, depending what instrument the guy in the lower right corner has) but no drummer?

You were doing so well too, Tuomas.

Not an ad for an album but

Awesome!

yes that is too cool

love that wood panneling

omg, that looks like heaven.

And when they're not recording albums, the light would have been just right to stage some photos for a fondue cookbook or something.

I browsed through a few of those old photos and kept seeing rock walls in the studios. Wouldn't rock be the most bouncy surface for echoes?

Hmmm, I'm not an acoustics person but I guess I'd depend on how porous a stone you specify...

Hell, I've known studio guys who'd freak out over that pane of glass (called a mirror) suspended over the board like that.

man that's just how they get the rock on record

See? Even this studio had one.

Motown??

1974 was a strange year!

but also this:

Gull was a British record label founded in 1974. Owned by Gull Entertainments Ltd., it was associated with Morgan Sound Studio, and was distributed by both Pye Records and Decca Records.[1] It was also distributed by Motown in the USA. Major bands on its books included Judas Priest, IF, Steve Ashley, Seventh Wave and Isotope

woah!
