This commercial below was mentioned on a TV show the other day.



The one from memorex where the glass shatters (I believe from a singers voice).

It is from many years ago.



I did not find the ad on this website.

Would be interesting to see it.

Thanks

Dabitch you are almost correct. The Is it live or Memorex campaign actually started around 1974 with Ella Fitzgeral singing and breaking the glass. We have included it on our home page for everybody to view. Just go to http//www.usatvads.com You are also correct. The campaign lasted for more than 10 years and we do have shattering glass commercials for 1982 done by a Rock Band. Hope this information helps.

could you put up the rock band one as well to allow us to compare them.

Also do you have any of the old timex watch "It takes a licking and keeps on ticking" commmercials (also a long running ad campaign)



Thanks
