TV ad airing in the UK now for this triple CD set, begins with an enormous close-up shot of someone starting a tape in a Sharp GF575

This was a boomer that everyone wanted back in the 80s... those looks.
...not matched by the sound, so I'm told, but there you go.

Do you think I can find a copy of this ad online, anywhere?
If you can, please add a link, thanks Smile

ok dt, you twisted my arm Nod Yes well i was browsing a second hand shop a few yrs back and i noticed the shop owner was talking to a customer.
i approached the shopkeeper and asked him if he ever got boxes in, he replied he as,nt had any boxes for ages.
i said ok if you ever get any in please put them to one side for me.
just then i turned to leave the shop when the man he was talking to said... excuse me mate are you after the big 80s type?? i replied yes why?? he said i have a big one in my house that you can buy and i only live round the corner.
he said if your not doiung anything you can come and have a look at it, i said yes great.
we left the shop, walked round the corner to he,s house and he opened the door and invited me in.
i entered the house and there it was a minty 575 sat on he,s floor.
i asked him how much he wanted and he replied £10, a deal was struck and i was off with a huge grin on my face Big Grin wish things like that happened more often Nod Yes Wink
