The thing that blows my mind about these, and a lot of magazine ads from the '70s, is how *text heavy* they are. I think magazine ads have been all about "tldr" my whole life. Just pics of sexy people and two or three words now.

Dude, dude, dude, me too. Ok, I started smoking when I was 23, when any doc will tell you smoking almost never starts after teen years. Do you want to know why? I got all these '70s Playboys at an estate sale, and every other ad is for cigarettes, of course, full of loving, seductive paragraphs about how cigarettes are the most delicious, essential, amazing things ever. It was all that text that got me!

For an alternate approach, maybe somebody can post the ad for Costello's Imperial Bedroom (not having any luck finding it). I think it had a single word: "Masterpiece?"

we've come a long way. the xx album simply had one letter (X) on it's adverts. no text, no WORDS at all!

That comes from the VW Beetle ads; a picture of the item and loads of text about the technical merits of said item.
