Hey!

   RawB8, you must be very young that you don't remember or have seen this commercial... hmmm or maybe I'm getting too old! :lol:

   A truly one of the classic commercial from the '80s and one of the greatest of all time TV commercial. Brilliant!  :cool:

Take care,
Buddy :thumb:

I always thought that picture was from the "Is it live or is it memorex" ads. They were convincing enough to get me to use memorex for a couple years until I learned how bad they were from failing inside the player. When I switched to maxell and TDK I still have a lot of those tapes, and they still sound great. All the memorex tapes are trashed. Remember those cassette days? haha

Sadly, yes, Rich  :(

Neither that nor first run episodes of Happy Days seem that long ago now  :wink:

I've still got my original Blown Away poster from the 70's. The frame is a little beat up after all these years. The original artwork was done by Steigman. You can get prints at All Posters.com

Blown Away


....yep, Maxell tapes sucked. All my TDKs still sound great and I play them on occasion in my workshop :thumb:

Ooops, I thought Scott had started the thread. And based on his comments and the title of the thread, it looked like you were looking for more posters.  :oops:
Just noticed this is page two.   :roll: :duh:

Nope, not my thread  :lol:

Somewhere around here I've got a concert handbill for The Doors, Big Brother and the Holding Company featuring Janis Joplin and a few other notable bands that was held at the Keil Opera House (member that place?).  :green:
