"Snowbird Fantasy," "The Walkman," and "Touchdown"? The programmer at 44 really liked Bob James, I guess!

Boomer933 - Sorry, what you see is 100% of what there was - just this excerpt was saved for posterity by former a former WSNS employee.

fuzzy.. is there anyway to get more out of this video? Did they have the transition from the commercial mode to the scrambled mode thing? it would be great to get that too from the premiere night..

I was just listening to an old WLS aircheck from 1980 with a Playback commercial that also was advertising 10 TDK tapes for $30. Yikes, amazing how much cheaper cassettes got after the Walkman was introduced and after 8-tracks died.

The jingle here does seem weird.

Detroit4Chicago: From my research, I believe Playback went out of business in 1981.

@T.K.: "While I don't think it's exactly the same, the typeface of the Playback logo looks an awful lot like Playboy magazine, doesn't it?"

I was thinking the same thing.

@Szake: "The eye line of the man in this commercial bothers me."

@FuzzyMemories: "He's not looking at me. I feel disrespected as a customer. ;-)"

@ArmitageNLowell: "I think the cue card holder was a topless dancer."

@MotownPhilly: "what the hell is he looking at?!?"

My guess.... at a cue card, but the camera was probably positioned wrong, making him look off-kilter. Who was the technical director or stage manager who planned this out? WRITE 'EM UP!

I'm wondering if this store still in business.... ????

If you tuned in to Channel 32 at any given time in 1971-75 you stood a 75% chance of seeing the Hydro-Jet commercial.

what the hell is he looking at?!?

The spotlight gives me the subtle impression they're covering something up... scuff marks, dings, wine stains...
