Picked these up for little money on a local auction site. Had some other items already won at the auction, so figured I had to go and pick the stuff up anyway, so might as well make it worthwhile.
Dated from 1966. Pre-recorded jingles/commercials for Dominion/Canada Dry Beverages. Canada.
Two records, with jingles/songs/voiceovers on A and B sides of each. Unfortunately, I have yet to listen to them as I do not have a record player anymore. Of coarse, that didn't stop me buying them, and will lead to me collecting a vintage record player. I will repost when I have a listen, and see if they are some cool jingle that I remember from my childhood. I bought them just to save a little more Canadian history, and figure they most likely came from my home town radio station.
You can buy USB powered record players, so plug into a PC and they are quite cheap. Shame none of us can listen to these jingles!
GeodeJem , USB turntables are too new for me. I like the vintage audio gear. The records are the perfect excuse needed to go buy a vintage 70's technics turntable.
Hopefully I ill be hearing them sometime soon, lots of great things happened in the 60's, including Thomas. aka Brunswick. lol
thanks for the comments and loves.
Thomas I am a 60's product as well. lol.
Good old Sansui. Forgot about them. Japanese audio equipment was great until about 1990. I have a mint in box sony am/fm/ cassette boom box bought new in 1985 and still have receipt etc. It didn't have enough watts, so had to upsize.
I remember spending huge money on batteries just to run the radio for the day, I priced up the old technics turntables I used in the mid 80's while doing DJ work for the O'tooles bars back in the day. Used to run 2 x technics sl1200. Worked them pretty hard back then. One of the few turntables that could take all day, everyday work, and still track dirty and warped records. They have held the value well and look to be too much for me to spend to hear 2 records. lol . Richard
We always had Wink in our house growing up:) it's the first thing dad asked for when he would get home from work LOL.
I know Brunswick. Guess I should have kept some gear. Still have 3 matching dubbing cassette decks. lol. Vinyl is the way to go if you have good gear and decent shaped records. It has soul in those grooves. Sort like the fact that I refuse to replace my many drum kits with electronic gear. Thanks for the nice comment.
Thank you for the comment Trey. It was pretty good stuff. Haven't had any in years. Drank quite a bit of Mountain Dew until I heard it caused impotence. lol. Probably false info, but we all know how Coca-Cola does a great job of being WD40. Favourite pop for me was Becker's cheap orange. I remember 17 cents a can. Geez I am old. :)
