"Original Gold" from Sessions (Record Offer, 1979)

[@commentingcollector]

This music is right in my wheel house! Sessions, K-Tel and the Time Life record spots are so classic! Thanks for rekindling those memories!

[@StutleyConstable]

I think my brother ordered this one. He had a lot of records and all of us kids would crowd into his room to listen.

[@Marcg-b4n]

Forgot about those! I think my mom had an album. We were living in La grange and Hinsdale in the 1970s and 1980s.

@Mark Galassini I lived close to the zoo in the early 70's. It was and is still a beautiful area. Were you there when the locust came out sometime around 71/72 it was crazy. There were millions of them.

[@Marcg-b4n]

@@salty6pence672 yes!!!! I was in second or third grade living in La grange! That smell!, The gunk on the tries... I will never forget it. They were everywhere. I never saw so many at one time ever again. I think Ray Rayner had something on them every morning on his show.

[@mpgchgo]

This recording looks really good! Great quality, looks just like I remembered from 1980.

[@FuzzyMemoriesTV]

It actually aired January 2nd 1979 - sorry, we corrected the info.

UPDATE: This commercial actually aired January 2nd 1979 - sorry, we corrected the info. FuzzyMemoriesTV regrets the error. 🙂

Have to wonder how long Sessions had been around. They seemed like the go-to company for compilation albums.

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

They lasted into the 90's, I remember my mom having some of their CD sets.

[@thomasbrown3356]

I remember their commercials for the Supremes, Englebert Humperdick and Fats Domino. Hell, I first heard most of those old songs thru the TV Ad. Lol "I want to walk you home"🎶 Sorry, childhood flashback.

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

@@thomasbrown3356 It help me appreciate my parents' music.

[@gsnfan]

I borrowed a copy of this at my local library a very long time ago. Very good collection.

[@JoePianist]

An ad staple of Independent TV stations back in the day.

Heck yea my parents had this

[@ahoneanatwo]

The Sessions riffs made by Mystery Science Theater 3000 during episode 414 (Tormented) brought me here…..

[@seanramsdell4117]

And on RiffTrax (Kiss of the Tarantula)

[@sCulturefan]

I had completely forgotten about these commercials after about 1983 or so until MST3K jogged my memory with their “Sessions PRESENTS!” riffs

[@WPPCProductions]

Thank You Fuzzy...AM Gold is what you hear here .Love these classics.. My generation did not have Ipods,Smart phones computers or internet for music enjoyment. . We had AM/FM Radios ,cassettes/8 tracks,reel to reels and vinyl..LOL.... I love these collection commercials .The same with the K-Tel and the Time Life record sets.. Late night TV back then was the great time to see these in my area..Probably aired during the late night movie along with Crazy Eddie and Hair Club for Man commercials during the 1980's. . I think I have this collection set somewhere here in vinyl .

Now that I think about it I think I remember this I wasn't born yet but somewhere they showed this some where in the late 80s 1985 or 1986 not sure

[@orangehornet57]

Some of those Sessions collections were in our record collection. Didn't they seem to have the loudest announcer in those TV commercials? Every so often I'll see those albums at thrift stores. Don't forget eBay.

Sessions Records of Lombard, Illinois!

[@joericci4094]

This collection is guaranteed to Enrich any Home

[@wmbrown6]

At the time of this, when this ad would have run in NYC on WABC Channel 7, it likely would have been before their own late night movie, which at that point was titled by date as "The Monday / Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday / Friday Night Late" ("Tuesday" would have been applicable in this case), and after this ad but before the start of the movie, one of the WABC announcers (likely Tedd Lawrence) would have intoned something like "AM New York, tomorrow morning [or 'today'] at 9," followed by a still slide of the movie show logo and Walter Raim's "Big Show Theme" playing.

[@RedSiegfried]

Sessions presents! I love how so many of these commercials had almost exactly the same script. Here's how to order!

[@TheFunkywhiteboy63]

Just listen!

[@1986SSMONTECARLO]

This upload is Original Gold

[@fomblin]

Who was the announcer? I've said band names like he does , in my head , for 50 years . His voice is the definition of band names..

[@samanthanickson6478]

wow, a trip down memory lane to see david soul in this collection. but, where’s john travolta?

[@CatPianoClassics]

I think the guy screaming the band names at me kind of made this more hilarious than intended.

[@zibbyzubb]

3 records for $9.98. That was a great deal.

[@thomasbrown3356]

What the Hell was 'Sessions', anyway. They we're always promoting their name in these album commercials.

[@TheLightFish]

Has anyone tried the number? Lol

[@malirabbit6228]

I was wondering the same thing!

[@525Lines]

Odd mix. None seem to be current hits.

[@WPPCProductions]

Yea .Its a mix of the 70's decade . I Believed that KTel focused more on the current hits of the time putting a few releases out a year.

[@peggyallman7647]

Yuck what bad memories
