The first Now That's What I Call Music - TV ad December 1983

I am gradually sorting through some of my ancient video tapes to log what is on them, and caputuring some vintage clips whilst I do so.

Here is a television advertisement, recorded 28th December 1983, for 'Now That's What I Call Music', the first ever volume of the pop compilation label.

It shows it's age by the acts billed: Culture Club, Duran Duran, UB40, Kajagoogoo, Paul Young, Phil Collins, Tina Turner, Tracey Ullman, Genesis and Madness. ...Actually, maybe it's not showing it's age so much, as 99% are still around today on various comebacks!

Bit of a plain ad really, but I thought I'd upload it for fellow vintage fans.

I am still going through all of my old tapes and uploading various clips, so check back regularly!

@neonrider93 I know that's how it has been issued for now, but I'm sure I read somewhere that the "record sleeve" packaging was just a limited edition, and when this stock runs out, the set will be sold in the standard plastic CD case we're all familiar with. I actually prefer the cardboard sleeve, as I've lost count of how many plastic double CD cases I've had that have broken in such a way that the discs, plus the inner plastic flap that keeps them in place, fall out when you open the case.
