1970's Milwaukee TV Ads 1

1812 Overture, selling the news before newscasters became our "friends," WTMJ's unfortunate "4" logo. Ran Saturday night during SCTV in the late 70's.

Peaches at it's peak was the grandest of them all-- a real exciting place to browse and buy.

I wish I did. I have the last 30 seconds of a Johnny LaRue Sketch, the ID, and that's it. Very much a snippet.

Notice the old channel four logo at the end. It's my understanding that the artist made it as a hidden joke, if you look close it looks like someone crouching down on a toilet.

RIP John McCullough.  One of the best to anchor the news in Milwaukee.

Say it with me ------

DIRTY JACK's RECORD RACK.

The best.....

Radio Doctors was THEEEEE best hands down.

@Zorchalate 1812 was a record store that probably had hundreds of ads like this one during their existence... it would've been impractical for them to use it every single time.

Does anyone realize that there is a classical piece by Tchaikovsky called the "1812" overture and that none of the music in the ad was part of that piece?

1812 was a good record store,but prefered Peaches on silverspring, which used to be the old Red Owl. Miss those day's growing up in Milwaukee.

I bought my first album at 1812 ! It was The Who Quadrophenia

When Mike Jacobs was a kid... 1812 spot was great, when there were these things called "record stores." Get off my lawn.
