here I am over 50 fucking years later looking at those ads and being fascinated by them.
anyways I'm doing a little impromptu research into something I don't know if anyone would be willing to answer me without doing a little googling too, and the question's not even that complicated, it's "Did Fairfield Parlour's single Bordeaux Rose chart in the UK in 1970?", and I like looking through old Billboard magazines because despite them being over 50 years old it's the only place I'll ever get to hear about the music I personally love to bits, folks are understandably posting about more contemporary stuff online, instead of idk CCR, Blood Sweat & Tears, Big Brother, CSNY, or heck Fairfield Parlour, also known as Kaleidoscope (UK), the US band Kaleidoscope is a different one. I know these musicians and bands are well loved but in the mainly furry circles I'm in I don't hear much about bands I love from times past so it's nice to get some of that by reading an industry magazine from before I was born lol.
I really despise how our lives are all advertisements all the time now but the distance from when these were put to print makes them less... idk bothersome to look at? they stop being ads trying to sell me on stuff and become historical anecdotes, music "recomendations", interesting illustrations and art styles you don't see employed for this sort of thing anymore. advertising fresh off the minds of marketing departments can go into the bin but advertisements in a historical record like a magazine... yeah that's culture now baybeee!! it's a funny dichotomy isn't it, time makes advertising feel less intrusive and manipulative and more into a fun novelty again.
