Simcut Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Saw it on TV earlier, it's superb, but he should've gone to Discogs, the silly sod. Great advert nonetheless, makes me reminisce of old times ringing up record shops and speaking to people and ringing labels getting release dates on tunes, etc. I like the track they made for the advert too.

bigsteve Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Saw something in the press recently about it - good ad. Shame there's hardly any record shops about these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number2Fan Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 I raised a small smirk when I saw it on TV and realised what it was going to be... But yeah, shoulda gone to discogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Yeah! It's a great advert and it leaves a nice feeling with you, but I can't help but feel like it's just the next step in getting old :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuro Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Hey, how come I help you? He doesn't even say hello, he just announces: "I'm looking for a Trance mix." Brilliant :mrgreen: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonman Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 whilst on the topic (slightly) of feeling old, i recently threw a load of old VHS tapes out. I watched one in the VCR and recorded an episode of Corrie from 2003. Well i saw this ad on it, smiled to myself and thought S*it i'm getting old... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIVqLa8xooU&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number2Fan Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I'll tell you another thing that means you're old. When you watch the Brit awards and every other nominee makes you say "WHO?" (take that looked good though didn't they) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quadrant Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I'd like to know where all those record shops are in the original vid. All of the ones I know have disappeared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tremor Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Yeah I did quite like this actually. Was also thinking the shop he goes into looks really familiar from the outside.. Looks just like a shop I used to go to in Soho. Second hand record shops are great but few and far between these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Kane Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 The two main record stores I used to frequent in Birmingham are long gone (Three Shades & Massive Records). They both used to be rammed on a Thursday afternoon when the new Dutch imports arrived. I remember queuing for a turntable to listen to new releases once in Three Shades & Massive had in-store appearances and mixes from Sasha (to launch Involver) and Marco V (to launch IN:Charge) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 The two main record stores I used to frequent in Birmingham are long gone (Three Shades & Massive Records). They both used to be rammed on a Thursday afternoon when the new Dutch imports arrived. I remember queuing for a turntable to listen to new releases once in Three Shades & Massive had in-store appearances and mixes from Sasha (to launch Involver) and Marco V (to launch IN:Charge) Three Shades was superb! The staff were really friendly and helpful, their prices were spot on, and they always seemed to have those records that only a limited number were produced. I picked up a few rare records from there. Massive was OK - but nothing compared to their main Oxford store. With the exception of the new releases, most of the tunes they sold were the ones that they had had in the Oxford store for yonks but struggled to sell - so they then ended up in Birmingham. The guy in the Oxford store (Russell) really knew his stuff too. DMF wasn't too bad for rare records either - although their prices were a rip off. As for the other Brummy store, HTFR, - I hated the place with a passion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kml Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I am sick of the advert already. Record shops and buying music off the high street seem very outdated now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonB Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I watch hardly any tv these days just the odd hour in the morning and couple hours later at night so I haven't seen the ad enough for me to get annoyed with it, is there once certain channel that shows it the most? I remember during the Grand Slam Of Darts on ITV4 last year every ad break they showed literally the rotation of the same 6-7 ads including the new pot noodle gti one (which I never saw for sale round here at all) drove me up the wall onto the ceiling ala Angello!

Number2Fan Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I hate that whistling tune that Homebase use on their ads. I also hate Jamie bloody Oliver in any way shape or form so those Sainsbury ads well annoy me. (go compare anyone?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I hate that whistling tune that Homebase use on their ads. I'm glad i'm not the only one - it really gets on my tits! Its was on every single advert break last night. Grrrr As for the Go Compare bloke - if I had a choice of winning the lottery or whacking that fat prick in the jaw, i'd choose to whack him in the jaw - thats how much he annoys me now!

kml Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I don't watch a lot of tv but agree with Jason's point on the same adverts been run over and over again at every break. This is why I am already sick of the yell advert. I tend to turn the sound down now on adverts as most channels run them at the same time. Car insurance adverts are the most annoying.

Number2Fan Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I use Sky+ normally when I am watching something and forward the ads. Especially now that they tend to advertise more during the actual programme rather than inbetween. But during the day if the TV is on for the kids or something like 'this morning' is on I hear the ads. We just sold our car dot com!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to be designed to motivate the unemployed to leave the house and go looking for a job. They go along the lines of are you on benefits and wish you could afford a new car etc well look no further and ignore the small print :pirate: (Not having a go at the unemployed) These companies pray on the most vulnerable in society and should be banned from tv.

Max Kane Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Sky+ saves the day, even if I am home and want to watch something at say 10pm I'll record it and wait 5mins before I do so that I can skip the ads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number2Fan Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Yeah me too Tom. Unless it's a film then you can wait an hour and still end up catching up with the recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
