I LOVE THE GODZILLA SPOT!!!! Doris Day (swoon)!!! Cape Fear....scary as heck!!! Have always wanted to see Blood Feast, but just never have. That Karloff spot was so awesome!!!! LOL, great Rambler spot (beep-beep). Stan Freberg, so classic (with a Paul Frees cameo). Another one hits the spot Fred.

Thanks, Cap. Doris Day was one of the few actresses who got better looking as she got older. She looked better at 45 than 25, and without plastic surgery (I hope). As for Blood Feast, here's what I commented to Terri Hooks: It was the first color gore movie and shows brains and tongues being ripped out. And it's cheaply made with bad writing and acting. My parents and I saw this at a drive in 1965 when I was 10. I remember my mother hanging her head out the window, vomiting. My dad said he'd give me $5 to let him drive us home. I said "No, Dad, I've got to see ALL of this!"

Fred - Congratulations on reaching 25,000 subscribers with over 10,000,000 views. You're doing great my friend!

another super one fred! great radio spots from all those terrific years of my childhood. loved the bobby vee and everly brothers spots but all were really fun and brought back some real nice times. liked the k mart ad also but wasn't aware that they were in business in 1962, sad now there are only a handful left, around here anyway. thanks for always sharing these wonderful pieces of the 60s, always makes my day! rob

Getting appreciative comments like yours makes my day, Rob.

Your collection of old TV and radio ad recordings must even impress the National Archives! I don't recall most of these ads since radio ads tended to go in one ear and out my other. TV ads, on the other hand, were usually more memorable since they were visual and not just audio. The Edsel gets bashed a lot. However, from what I read, it was not much different than other cars of the period. Its main failing was being poorly assembled that lead to it problems. I loved Doris Day. The Rambler "Beep-Beep" parody ad/song was hilarious! And "Why should I advertise on radio?" was the perfect ending. Great stuff!

22:15 Comparing the original "Cape Fear" to the '90s remake was like comparing leather to brightly-colored cellophane. The original had less violence and profanity, but scared you more with its implications than all the over-acting in the remake could.

This is great, but the volume is a bit quiet on a good chunk. It also seems that almost everything could be advertised on the radio or TV back then. I wasn't there at the time obviously, but I could just imagine.

+FredFlix, +Liz Arnold It truly was. Of course, AM sounded somewhat better then. No, that's not 'rose colored glasses', it's an actual, technical FACT. It was never the equal of FM, that's true, but it sounded a fair bit better back then than it does today, especially if you had a decent quality AM receiver. There are three contributors to the decline - a change in FCC regulations regarding channel 'bandwidth', plus a decline in the quality of AM receivers. Because of those two factors, a third factor has arisen - most AM stations don't bother transmitting a quality signal any more. It costs more to do so, for starters - why bother, since most modern receivers won't reproduce the sound very well anyway,, and most AM programming is just talk now. To put it bluntly, AM today sounds like sh*t, and it isn't going to get any better. Radio in general sucks today, come to think of it. Even FM. Oh there's better quality on FM, but the 'music' that pours out of the speaker is just talentless noise, played over and over again, in between 15-minute commercial breaks of the same ads played over and over again. Pffft, give me the 'old days' any day.

I downloaded every radio spot separately off KZread. But I didn't to use their graphics. So I converted the videos to audio and searched Google for some corresponding images. Matching up the audio to the images to achieve the final result was very taxing and time consuming, but it was worth it.

The Corvair could have been a great car, if it weren't for that gawd-awful swing-axle rear suspension. Apparently they couldn't fit a standard live axle because of the rear-mounted engine. Live and learn, I guess.

Not sure what program you are using to record audio, Fred, but even the most basic usually have a feature called normalization, which allows you to run all audio samples up to max volume level without going over. I had to turn the speakers way up on this, and when my Eudora got new mail, the announcement damn near shot me across the room.

My software is acting up and only lets me lower the volume. But I watched the video just now and adjusted the KZread volume control at the bottom of the video to just halfway, and while some ads are louder than others, I could hear them all fine. But you're not the only one to have problems with this one.

I'm not sure what program you are using or what your specific needs are, but Audacity, www.audacityteam.org/ is a completely free program with most of the features of top notch, pay audio programs. I've used it for years. Works great, and you can't beat the price.

Edsel comparing itself to Ford is stupid, because EDSEL was MADE by FORD. This is as silly as Buick competing with Cadillac, (both GM brands) Oh wait.. That happened too.🤦‍♂️Also, Sinatra would go from Ford to Chrysler. He was a personal friend of Lee Iacocca who ALSO went from Ford to Chrysler.

The woman in the Tek toothbrush ad.. She's not using one for its intended purpose. And in the late 50's/early 60's American teenagers didn't go to the movie theaters and drive ins to actually watch what's playing on the big screen. The Corvair was poorly designed cheaply constructed rolling junk.

Do you mean the Rock Hudson-Doris Day romcoms, Hank? I don't think they're gay. They're totally heterosexual. But, they have a gay actor in the lead. Only in retrospect, knowing now what we know about Rock, do they seem gay. Then again, Perry Mason had a gay man in the lead, but that show doesn't seem gay a bit.
