  • Are you sure this commercial came out in 1978? I know the self entitled album from Switch came out that same year and Switch II came out in 1979, I've got the album to prove that.

  • I'm pretty sure this is from '78 since a complete newscast was included in this recording, but I'll have to go back and check. It was on a station that aired "Soul Train" and I think this was meant to be shown during that, but it ran during a public affairs show an hour or so later.

  • Never had this LP, but the group Switch was later became DeBarge and the released their first LP in 1981 entitled "The DeBarges".

  • NOOO! You've recorded and kept that one, man...? I had completely forgotten about it, for real; it had gone out of my mind ! Oh, how I like the light effect, and the succession of the different pictures, the pictures of 'em playing with that motion/animation effect of back in the days...See, all of that;just that, it represent that whole era for me...I've found lots and lots of other TV commercial of the 1970s & 1980s I kept in mind, and today's commercial can't beat the old ones ! Style !!!

  • WOW!!! I can't believe you still had this! So glad you shared it! I loved Switch, I wasn't a big Debarge fan of the 80's but I was a huge Switch fan.

  • The ending v/o was by the late Victor Bozeman.

  • Has this been re-issued on CD or iTunes?

  • I believe "Switch" album TV ad came from KNBC in Los Angeles.

  • I was a toddler/preschooler when this was out!

  • Damn ... I really like these old ads...there's something about it...I don't know... different !! t'was done in another way, vintage effects;seems passed,old... but GOOD...!!! aaaah ...nostalgia of a bygone era...

  • I haven't seen this since the late-70s when I was living in Chicago, thanks!

  • YEP!
