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.

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").

Here's a couple from old Billboard magazines which usually contained a good few of these adverts in each edition.

Best leave your shoes off during this hot weather ...........

Wonder if its too late to wing off a letter to Dept. B for promo copies of these two ............

Don't think too many current hip-hoppers would be too pleased having this used to promote their latest release .......

 

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 ??

 

Never even realised that this 'limited edition' LP existed till I saw this ad ..........

Thought I'd add a few more record company trade ads from the 60's ............

 

Anuda un .............

 

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 ...........

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 .......

 

Straight from the ridiculous to the sublime (artist-wise that is) ..............

.... an ABC ad for an Impressions 45 put out back in 67 .......

A November 67 ad for a Rojac 45 ...............

Glasshoppa know this one ............

Great stuff. Keep it coming. Thanks.

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 .............  

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. 

Superb thread!

Back on track with a Dynamic offering that's Charlie Foxx related ..........

........... it was all HAPPENING back then ..........

A November 67 ad for a Rojac 45 ...............

 

Such a great record. I hear such a load of sh*t at times and coming back to records like this restores my sanity

................... COUNTDOWN TIME ..........

form 4 soul artist names from the words featured here ..........

Getaway, this ad woun't have impressed FEnton Robinson much ..........

Jeez yes, those lyrics, his voice - almost makes you want to cry - I suppose that's that the very best soul music can do.  I'd never heard this before.

There weren't any soul groups called the Churchills BUT at least there was the Winstons ........

This guy could have shown the new entrants on 'Strictly' how to dance .............

 

Don't think Dave Godin had owt to do with this ad ................

Edited September 8, 201311 yr by Roburt

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!

I put a similar RCA 45 ad up as post #58.

There was some Epic soul stuff put out at the end of the 60's .....

Brilliant Tim. And the first time I've ever seen a picture of Silky Hargraves.  Thanks for sharing.

   RCA was pressing 78's in the U.S. up until 1959.

A Jobete Music ad placed in late 69 ...........

 

Atlantic were going full steam ahead in July 1965 ..............

 

Thanks for sharing this great thread!

Summer 65 and Chess were also going strong ............

Edited September 11, 201311 yr by Roburt

A cartoon strip from the Wipers Times ..............

 

Another one from Chess back in July 65 .............

..... shootin up just like an arrow ........

Jumping forward to 78 now .............

 

Mid 70's now ...................

 

TRC in 73 ... with Neal Kimble & Raeletts 45's to the fore ....

Z Z Hill in 73, with much help from 'Swamp Dogg' ...........

Motown attempted in 69 to head off the cover versions of Stevie's song ............

 

I'm sure Roger Moore never looked like that when I used to watch 'The Saint' ............
