Old 1977 Disco TV Commercial for Salsoul's Disco Boogie - Watch video!

[Bernie]

We've all seen the cheesy K-Tel TV commercials from years past, but did you know that Salsoul Records had one for the "Disco Boogie" two-record set that was mixed Walter Gibbons? They plugged it as being available through mail order only and the price... $6.98! This is a huge treat! Thanks to Vince Montana and Marisol Duprey for making me aware of this.

and the price... $6.98!

And only $8.98 for the 8-track tape! This is classic...thanks for posting it, Bernie!

Vince has put up some other great videos on youtube, I especially like the footage of a TV show in which he plays vibes along to his excellent Warp Factor II. Can that man play!

And play the vibes Vince can! Imagine how I felt when I went to his home years ago and he played the vibes in his small studio for me. He explained all the parts of the vibraphone and how the windings on the mallets change this and that. He makes it look so easy. I'll check out the other vids.

Mmmmm... What great memories of "the days", that commercial brings back! :o)
Thanks Bernie, for posting it.
And continued "Thanks" to Vince Montana, for getting the definitive "Disco" label, off to it's spectacular start.

Oh wow, I've heard Loleatta H's voice so often but never actually seen her perform before. (even if it's for 2 seconds miming, I'm happy with that!)

I don't know why this DVD didn't get TONS of attention when first released, but better late than never?
