According to the notes on the Set Movements cassette, the ad was released in 1983
-
Definitely from 1984. It has a classic Utravox sound of course but it's superb.
-
@crowndrive35 I'm pretty sure this piece of music wasn't released until 1984! It was incorporated into the 1984 Set Movements Tour cassette (I bought mine in June '84 at the Hammersmith Gig), and I don't think the Levi advert had been out much before then. I definitely agree that if expanded it would've made a good single.

@1986uno45s - me too.........!

Have not seen this advert since 1982,just fantastic,always remembered it had amazing music but couldnt remember what it went like.Should have made it into a single im sure in 1983 it would have been big.I love the internet!!!!
-
@gynofingers - This 'mini' Rivets track was also on the end of the cassette tape that came with the Ultravox 1984 Set Movements tour programme. The rest of the tape contained an interview with the band. I still have this cassette somewhere too!
-
Great stuff. Where I was living (UK) it was being aired around late 1982. Never expected to see it again. Thanks for posting :)
-
This advert was directed by the brilliant Nick Lewin. I worked for a time with the company that represented him (MGMM Overview), and saw this 10 billion times and never got tired of it. :-)
-
I had a gut feeling it sounded like ULTRAVOX at the time, but it wasnt until a few years later I found I was right.
GREAT TRACK, should have been exteneded in to a song!
-
I remember this ad really well, and especially the music.....thanks a lot for posting it :)

I'm reading Midge's autobiography "If I Was" where he mentions this. It was a success, but the sequel "Threads" wasn't: the ad agency messed him around so much as he was producing it, he eventually took it back, and it got made in to an Ultravox hit: "Love's Great Adventure".
