The german part at 17:38 goes something like this: "Together. Together. Together. Enjoy Carlton together." "That's the new style we love." "Enjoy the rich and ripe, the likable, clear, full taste of Carlton" "Enjoy Carlton together, through joy of good taste."
Was about to translate but then my brain started working all of a sudden and i scrolled down to see if there wasn't a translation already. "Carlton" rings no bells in my mind, no idea what that could be. But i don't remember a product named "Karlten", which would sound phonetically similar but isn't a word or name i ever heard, not even as the name of a character from some show Will Smith did once...
More literal like this: together.... together.... together.... enjoying carlton together. this is the new style as we love it. enjoying the ripe and rich, the sympathetically clear (/pure), the full flavour of Carlton. Enjoying Carlton together - out of appreciation of good taste/flavour.
it sounds like a cigarette brand, and this image should confirm it scontent.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/s480x480/e35/10802581_523784277799861_1498934487_n.jpg?ig_cache_key=MTE4Nzc2MTE1NTE4MDUwOTIyMA%3D%3D.2
** Spoiler Alert ** This post does not contain any pedantry. Thank you Techmoan for your excellent work in producing such an interesting show. I'm a child of the sixties who pestered his parents at the age of about 8 to get me a Compact Cassette recorder. Much later in life I worked for the BBC for 25 years in Post Production. The quality of your ¼" transfer to digital is beyond professional standards. During my time at Auntie I worked on practically every film/tape/digital format from Nitrate 35mm film, 2" Quad to HD Digital formats. We share the same love of vintage formats. I was absolutely absorbed by this post. It finally made me get round to subscribing to your Patreon account. It seems like you produce this in your spare time. I hope that you will get enough patronage to go full time. Good luck and many, many thanks for your good work. Simon x x x
It's great to know that after all those years doing something as a job that you still find it interesting. Jobs have a habit of killing the fun in things. I used to be quite into computer games, and as a result got a job in the HMV games dept in 1992. All the time I worked there I never got a chance to play a single game even though I was surrounded by them. Back to tapes, I was surprised how well the 2 track recording was captured after playing on a 4-track machine, I was expecting to be missing a sliver of the sound due to the layout of the tracks, but if I did, it doesn't come across.
I thought the same... and the thought occurred to me that it's possible they were doing that on purpose. I've done a few commercial recordings (as a studio musician) before, and it's quite common to have seasonal musical arrangements around the holidays. Even if only a slight hint of a certain Christmas song's vibe can be really important to the advertising agency's instructions. Pretty cool that we thought the same thing, though.
The German one is a commercial for Carlton cigarettes... I don't know about the UK, but when I was kid it was common to have glasses filled with cigarettes and cigars on the table at parties, like you do with a bowl peanuts. Here's my crappy attempt, my German is pretty rusty. "Miteinander Carlton genießen"... Enjoy Carlton Together. That is the new style that we love. The rich and ripe [taste], easy to inhale(?), The full flavour of enjoying Carlton together. Enjoying Carlton together, With a full and good flavour.
almost correct :) together.... together.... together.... enjoying carlton together. this is the new style as we love it. enjoying the ripe and rich, the sympathetically clear (/pure), the full flavour of Carlton. Enjoying Carlton together - out of appreciation of good taste/flavour.
You Sir, have to be one the last youtube content creators to keep producing fantastic content that we can clearly see you enjoy making. That is what youtube was all about and you keep delivering! Thankyou.
The song at 14:21-15:44 is stuck in my head. Absolutely amazing quality for an analog-to-digital conversion (especially when the 15 ips portions of this reel were ran at 7 1/2 ips). Also take note of many Heinz campaigns that have historical significance ("Beanz Meanz Heinz", "Heinz Soupaday", to name a few) and how Babycham landed in hot water by using "The Genuine Champagne Perry" instead of "The Genuine English Perry." We even have a radio spot for John Lennon's _Walls and Bridges_, as a hidden track on the master tape! You never know what you'll find. Thanks Techmoan! ;) Anyways, here's the lyrics to the co-op song: _Co-operation, co-operation_ _Could be working for you, uh-huh_ _Co-operation, servin' the nation_ _Why not let it serve you?_ _You can get everything from a pint of milk_ _To a holiday by the sea_ _A loaf of bread or a soup for ten_ _Everything's got the dividend_ _Co-operation, co-operation_ _Serves you in many ways_ _And as you grow up, you can bank on the co-op_ _To serve you the rest of your days_ _Well, it's clear to see that the co-op will be_ _Here, come rain or shine_ _You can be sure it's true, that's why I'm telling you_ _Sign on the dotted line, now you're a member_ _Co-operation, co-operation_ _Now it's working for you, uh-huh_ _When you shop at this sign, everything's goin' fine_ _That's the co-op for you, you own it_ _And it's working for you, uh-huh_
Man, you always bring us joy finding a neglected or forgotten interesting piece of history. It's a good thing there's people around like you that give it a 2nd life and share it with the world. I bet you did whoever was involved proud to know that in 2016, their decades old stuff still gets appreciated! Well done you! Oh... and I love the way you pronounce 'advertisements'! :D
I have to say that's a contender for one of the best video's you've ever made TM, and you've made some great ones. I had a great time listening to those wonderfully crisp recordings. It's wonderful to hear how crisp and 'non-mumble-y' the audio recordings were (compared to now). Thanks :)
I really LOVE what you do Techmoan! Such attention to detail (while most importantly keeping the shows informative and entertaining) I would rate Techmoan as one of the very best channels on TH-cam
Very enlightening video. To have heard the quality of this master tape in the 1960s, when all most of us had was a Dansette record player, would have been truly out of this world!
Thanks for that! I enjoy pretty much all the videos you put up, and you're my go-to dashcam guru. That video on the other hand was just 20 minutes of blissful nostalgia and entertainment. Loved it.
Brilliant! It's what anyone who stumbles upon old tapes hopes to find. And the "lost weekend" Lennon album advert is quite a find. It's weird hearing a German ad for Carlton cigarettes, a brand which still exists. Fascinating.
I love recording and film history, so I really enjoyed getting to hear that treasure trove of master recordings. Thanks for bringing them to the public!
GadgetUK164 - Retro Gaming Repairs & Mods I was blown away by the audio too. But this is what a proper digital copy off an analog master should sound like. Fantastic.
Easily my favorite video of yours and I've seen a LOT of them. The skill and talent of the old ad-men, studio professionals and musicians from that era is astounding. In many ways the digital revolution has stifled creativity and made things too easy. Pity that.
That was excellent! I'm of an age where I can remember several of those jingles. I am a fan of what they now call 'Library Music', and CTS are one of the major sources. Thanks for sharing!
That's amazing sound for a 50-40+ year old master tape. Did you do any kind of digitial noise processing or EQ? It looks to me like they spliced tapes from smaller reels onto a bigger reel for storage.
Thats great. I'm a former radio DJ and have some small promo reels of radio jingles, station ID's and commercials from various companies (Jam Productions, Gwinsound), stored away that I need to get them out and dub to digital.
This TH-cam video is priceless. It's 22min 53sec ride on a time machine that brings you back simpler times. It almost brought a tear to my eye. Great work.
As a collector of early demo and master tapes I always am amazed by the amazing quality of a recording from 40 or 50 years ago. It is incredible how reel to reel tape manages to keep a constant quality throughout the years, with of course some additional background hiss in some cases. Great video with some fascinating recordings going all the way back to 1963. it's a great find.
Well, there's a pun in there, as well --- he says ON A SCALE OF YES TO NO, as in, ON A SCALE OF ONE TO TEN, so a "NINE" would mean, "very little", since it's almost to the TEN, as in, totally no. But the joke is that "NEIN" means "no" in German. :P
I've watched and rewatched your channel for ages. I'm fascinated how a guy just sharing his interest has inadvertently created in important archive for lost and forgotten things.
I actually LIKED Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy. They were awesome, it's just a shame they were given such a large quantity of BS to work with in terms of scripts...
casualevils The BBC had a junking policy until 1993. That's right they were erasing and destroying video tapes right up into the early 90's. But as for Doctor Who - yea it's sad but it couldn't be helped. No one thought that 30...40...and 50 years later that their would be world wide interest in a children's show. According to the late Barry Lets, "To store one full season of BBC programing would've taken up the size of The Royal Albert Hall. Wasn't possible." And the 2 inch video tapes at the time cost £600 pounds sterling per 30 minute reel. That's why they were often erased right after broadcast. But by 1970 they knew the show was huge and they could have saved all the original 2 inch quad Pal 625 line video master tapes from. Doctor Who. Think about it - For The Daleks Master Plan (a fantastic 12 part story) all we have is Episodes: 2, 5, 10 and a 20 second clip that was cut. And no Marco Polo. At least all the Pertwees are in colour now on DVD.
Man, that stuff sounds so good, what quality! Just love those takes of the "Heinz SoupADay" jingle. I'd never heard it before but it still works, I can't get it out of my head now! xD Love that co-op song too.
German here: Not a very good commercial about Carlton. Something like: "Together...together....together...together! Enjoy carlton together! That's the new style we love! The rich and mature, the sympathically clear, the full taste of carlton! Enjoy carlton together, for the pleasure of good taste!" (German wordpun (Reich=Rich, Reif=mature)...although not a very good one :D) Also, there is a very noticable british accent in the recording^^
Anvilshock sympathisch [angenehm; auch veraltet: mitfühlend, gleich gestimmt]congenially {adv} [pleasantly; sympathetically] The dictionary must be wrong then. In case of a cigarette, i think "angenehm" is very fitting. And to make it sound more like the german slogan, i translated it like that. It took a while to post, so after that i noticed some already posted translations, but they are pretty literal. The meaning is the same, but you can't read it in the same "beat".
I do not think that the speaker has a British accent or any kind of accent. He just pronounced everything extremely clearly and the intonation was a bit different from everyday speaking but that's actually how most of the people talked in advertisements and on TV and radio in general until the 1970s in Germany.
@@@Solakidede , lisrtening to old Norwegian recordings, being radio programs (interviews etc) or TV shows of the olden age, it’s the same thing. Makes you wonder if people acutally _spoke_ that way before… :P
Had to stop by and support the fish & chips fund! If anyone had a claim to the monetization of this video, I would think Heinz instead of Lennon. Glad you got it sorted out!
You are truly a wonderful person! As well as reminding us all of a much better time for our country, you have captured history for generations to enjoy! Thank you so much for sharing this.
Thank you for this retrospective. Your research is fantastic. I was particularly interested in this because one of the engineer markings, "J.R." represents John Richards. I've had the pleasure of working with him for two decades. His career has moved him from London to Los Angeles focusing on film and television orchestral recordings. He is retired now, but still around (in Los Angeles). I will have to pick his brain about these recordings when I see him next.
Great job giving us insight on the works of Eric Tomlinson and Johnny Johnston. That level of attention to detail is awesome and one of the reasons your videos are so interesting.
5 years ago I was living in Ashton-under-Lyne near Manchester (but I've recovered now) and across the road from the flats where I lived was Catalyst Productions. They did jingles, adverts etc. for radio and telly. Their business failed and they closed down and moved out. When they'd shifted most of their stuff out they hired a skip for what was left. One day I was making a cup of tea and staring out the window while I waited for the kettle and I saw what looked like 10" tape reel boxes. I was out of the flat and downstairs long before the kettle boiled! When I got to the skip, a guy was throwing something else in and I asked if it was o.k. to take the tapes. He said "Yeah, knock yerself out mate, they're no use to us now." I ended up with about a dozen full reels and about six part reels. I loaded one excitedly onto my Tascam four-track machine. Then the capstan belt broke so I still haven't a clue what's on them and I haven't got round to fixing the Tascam. The plan is to get the tape machine going again and digitise whatever's on the tapes if it's worth keeping. Thren I can wipe the tapes and use them again. There's probably nothing life-changing on the tapes but you never know...
Unless I'm very much mistaken the narrator at 8:06 is Roger Delgado, best known as The Master opposite Jon Pertwee's Doctor. Just a fun thing to point out considering the closing sketch!
seeing somebody that full of enthusiasm on old advertisement tunes reminds me of timecop or judge dredd wtf that movie was where they are everybody's favorite music.
I last watched this video quite a long time ago, and little did I know this would come in handy for my research paper about commercial music! Thank you a lot for the material and the sources you provided.
Love your videos, Techmoan. Holy crap, the sound quality of that tape is amazing! What is it about vintage sound recordings that sounds so natural compared to modern recordings?
I really enjoyed this video. It was a fascinating look through some history. Audio quality was great too. I'm kinda surprised stuff like this is just out on eBay and not in a museum or something... though I guess now it's in your collection so that's pretty similar :) Thanks for picking this up and for sharing with us.
Love the new intro. High quality content as usual, and the research really does make this top notch stuff. And the muppets made me laugh, as usual. Thanks.
That puppet show at the end is sad because it's true. Even worse is NASA taping over the high quality video tapes of the first moon landing and leaving all of future humanity with crummy slow scan TV video.
IamDunn I knew someone would go there RE the "fake moon landing"... god... and to think, some people _still_ think the earth is flat... talk shot anti-science!
What is more amazing is the fact that the azimuth of your reel to reel is matching the one that of the reel to reel that recorded this master tape. The sound quality is absolutely amazing. :)
@Techmoan. I really appreciate the amount of work and effort you put into the making of your programmes. They're very informative and fun to watch. As a broadcast technology professional, it does bring back memories. On the subject of CTS (at least I think it was CTS - could've been Abbey Road), there were a number of masters that were lost due to flooding. Some of John Barry's (seen in one of your pics from the recording of You Only Live Twice) much loved scores appear to have been lost. A great shame.
Carlton german/english (i am far a way from perfect english, but i hope it gives you an impression of the content) miteinander miteinander miteinander miteinander Carlton genießen Das ist der neu Stiel wie wir in lieben des reichen und reifen den sympatisch klaren den vollen Geschmack durch Carlton genießen Miteinander Carlton genießen Aus Freude am guten geschmack together together together enjoy together with Carlton this is the new stalk as we love in of rich and mature the sympathetically clear the full taste enjoy by Carlton enjoy together with Carlton for joy of good taste from a german fan of your videos!
It just came across as the soundtrack to a German vintage porno 'grumbleflick' to me? You could almost imagine the hairy lady gardens and shot putters arm pits! 😂😂😂
The sound of those recordings was amazing for how old they are, almost pristine quality. And I also wanted to say that I absolutely love the little snippets at the end with the puppets. It's always hilarious to see them after the outro.
That orchestra really captures the feeling of soup
@Rob C GET OUT!! 😂
Techmoan: I felt that a little bit haunting
*soup*
Wow, this was downright captivating. Thanks for sharing and archiving this!
That new intro is super slick as well.
LGRRRRRRRRRR
Lgrrrrrrrrrrrrrruhhh
Go Home LGR, you are drunk!
Lazy Game Reviews LETS GO THRIFTING
WITH TECHMOAN
so one of your LGR things are watching techmoan?
Subject: HEINZ BEANS
Engineer: E.A.T.
I chuckled a bit.
Subliminal message!
Coincidence? I think not.
E.A.T.'s beans spot was then distributed by Frederick Albert Royson-Thomas. For some reason he didn't sign his initials.
Some amazing audio quality wow.
15 IPS was the "real" magic there (compared to 7.5 IPS), even back in the day of vacuum tubes (valves). Tape speed really mattered.
Yeah, sounds like it's been recorded recently and not 50 years ago
I would assume it was processed through Capstan and RX 5 before being printed back to tape for archiving.
@DJ Shuffle No need to, good decks are much, MUCH better than you think and they aren't cassette ones.
+dontknowmyname that's the power of audio. It can't sound much better than the benchmark set in the the 70s.
The german part at 17:38 goes something like this:
"Together. Together. Together. Enjoy Carlton together."
"That's the new style we love."
"Enjoy the rich and ripe, the likable, clear, full taste of Carlton"

Carlton is a brand of cigarettes, which makes sense considering the lyrics of the jingle.
More literal like this:
together.... together.... together....
enjoying carlton together.
this is the new style as we love it.
enjoying the ripe and rich, the sympathetically clear (/pure), the full flavour
of Carlton.
Enjoying Carlton together - out of appreciation of good taste/flavour.
Carlton is a Cigarette brand
it sounds like a cigarette brand, and this image should confirm it scontent.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/s480x480/e35/10802581_523784277799861_1498934487_n.jpg?ig_cache_key=MTE4Nzc2MTE1NTE4MDUwOTIyMA%3D%3D.2

@Timothy Honiss It is amazing when the system does this.
Probably UMG had added it into the catalog recently, or the bot is stiffer than usual with reading old videos.
I did my part for your Chips.
Actually this could have been a great advertisement for them... not any more.
How convenient to have it downloaded unmuted long ago....

17:25 Understanding german my score is "Nein"
oh you
Upload the track to archive.org!
I was checking to see if anyone else had made the same comment. I'd LOVE to hear the entire thing!!!
+
Yes! The sound quality is incredibly good, and I would love to hear the entire thing too!
same must sample some of these :)
Yes, @Techmoan, Do this.
The "Heinz Soupaday" advert starts off sounding like the old Christmas song, "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year". Maybe it's just me.
That's what I thought too.
I thought the same... and the thought occurred to me that it's possible they were doing that on purpose. I've done a few commercial recordings (as a studio musician) before, and it's quite common to have seasonal musical arrangements around the holidays. Even if only a slight hint of a certain Christmas song's vibe can be really important to the advertising agency's instructions. Pretty cool that we thought the same thing, though.
The song at 1400 sounds like dixieland.
David Irwin No it's not just you I thought the same! thing!
I thought exactly the same thing.
The German one is a commercial for Carlton cigarettes... I don't know about the UK, but when I was kid it was common to have glasses filled with cigarettes and cigars on the table at parties, like you do with a bowl peanuts. Here's my crappy attempt, my German is pretty rusty.

Enjoy Carlton Together.
That is the new style that we love.
The rich and ripe [taste], easy to inhale(?),
The full flavour of enjoying Carlton together.

Enjoying Carlton together - out of appreciation of good taste/flavour.
I did come pretty close! Well done, me ;)
Well done :)
While I don't know if they were related, But Carlton cigarettes were also sold in the U.S. in that era.
Is smak flavour? I heard that and thought it may have been a food jingle.
You Sir, have to be one the last youtube content creators to keep producing fantastic content that we can clearly see you enjoy making. That is what youtube was all about and you keep delivering! Thankyou.
Hearing old jingles old as these in such a high quality feels very odd.
wright96d It shouldn't. All the masters from that time sound good, unless there's something wrong or with the tape or it's severely degraded.
Filming In Portland But as far as jingles go, the most often heard versions are off of an old radio recording.
wright96d All the audio masters sounded good in those days with lots of dynamic range, not squashed like music is today. But I know what you mean.
The song at 14:21-15:44 is stuck in my head. Absolutely amazing quality for an analog-to-digital conversion (especially when the 15 ips portions of this reel were ran at 7 1/2 ips). Also take note of many Heinz campaigns that have historical significance ("Beanz Meanz Heinz", "Heinz Soupaday", to name a few) and how Babycham landed in hot water by using "The Genuine Champagne Perry" instead of "The Genuine English Perry." We even have a radio spot for John Lennon's _Walls and Bridges_, as a hidden track on the master tape! You never know what you'll find. Thanks Techmoan! ;) Anyways, here's the lyrics to the co-op song:
_Co-operation, co-operation_
_Could be working for you, uh-huh_
_Co-operation, servin' the nation_
_Why not let it serve you?_
_You can get everything from a pint of milk_
_To a holiday by the sea_
_A loaf of bread or a soup for ten_
_Everything's got the dividend_
_Co-operation, co-operation_
_Serves you in many ways_
_And as you grow up, you can bank on the co-op_
_To serve you the rest of your days_
_Well, it's clear to see that the co-op will be_
_Here, come rain or shine_
_You can be sure it's true, that's why I'm telling you_
_Sign on the dotted line, now you're a member_
_Co-operation, co-operation_
_Now it's working for you, uh-huh_
_When you shop at this sign, everything's goin' fine_
_That's the co-op for you, you own it_
_And it's working for you, uh-huh_
Why would the quality of analog-to-digital conversion surprise you? Digital often sounds as good or better.
@Techmoan I love the new intro!
I'm glad it worked out.
Can you show what you are using please .
I'm going to try and make a video about it...at some point.
Thank you .
It's a lil bit unbalanced but looks cool non the less.
The sound quality on this tape is really amazing, hard to believe these ads are from over 50 years ago. Thanks for uploading.
Wow... Master tapes surely sounds gorgeous!! I never expected any kind of that sound quality...
Man, you always bring us joy finding a neglected or forgotten interesting piece of history.
It's a good thing there's people around like you that give it a 2nd life and share it with the world.
I bet you did whoever was involved proud to know that in 2016, their decades old stuff still gets appreciated! Well done you!
Oh... and I love the way you pronounce 'advertisements'! :D

Radio promo for Walls & Bridges. What a hidden gem :)
I really LOVE what you do Techmoan! Such attention to detail (while most importantly keeping the shows informative and entertaining)
I would rate Techmoan as one of the very best channels on TH-cam
Its why i've been subscribed to (and watching of course!) For so long! I wish he would bring back the puppets though. His skits were very funny!
The audio from those tapes sounds excellent, even with age, ADC, video render, TH-cam and then playback here at home!
The quality of these recordings is amazing! Well done video as well. Thanks!
The quality of this tape, and the work you have done to preserve it and show it to the world is awesome.
Very enlightening video. To have heard the quality of this master tape in the 1960s, when all most of us had was a Dansette record player, would have been truly out of this world!
What an incredible find and splendid sounding tape. Simply awesome!
For my taste and all the references you throw in there, this is my favorite video of yours.
Amazing work, sir. Again.
Thanks for that! I enjoy pretty much all the videos you put up, and you're my go-to dashcam guru. That video on the other hand was just 20 minutes of blissful nostalgia and entertainment. Loved it.
That tune from 6:03 is just sooo soothing, relaxing, and beautiful! Downright 'good old '60s' feeling!
I'd love to download that separately...
19:24 thank you for letting us hear a unique John Lennon.shame on those psychopaths who didn't want anyone to hear it.
Fascinating piece of history, thanks for taking the time to put this video together.
This is more than the average TH-cam stuff, very slick and professional, in fact captivating. Thanks for producing this.
Brilliant! It's what anyone who stumbles upon old tapes hopes to find. And the "lost weekend" Lennon album advert is quite a find. It's weird hearing a German ad for Carlton cigarettes, a brand which still exists. Fascinating.
Yeah and Heinz
New intro is awesome man!
Yeah, synchronised with the good old theme!
Amazing observational skills
Sethamphetamine And colourfull
Who is awesome man ?
More videos like this please, personally I think this is the best one you have made yet, really interesting. Well done, keep it up
I love recording and film history, so I really enjoyed getting to hear that treasure trove of master recordings. Thanks for bringing them to the public!
The first Heinz Soupaday advert, you played, was recorded on the day I was born!
Congratulations mr. and mr.s Hand, it's a soup!
Smoke Fumus a soupaday indeed!
Instant thumbs up and follow.
A remarkable find - you should archive this off somewhere. I've never heard such clear recordings of any of the stuff on there.
Fantastic, you're a legend!
If this is the original master, it is the clearest there ever was and ever will be, since every other copy is based on this one.
GadgetUK164 - Retro Gaming Repairs & Mods I was blown away by the audio too. But this is what a proper digital copy off an analog master should sound like. Fantastic.
Easily my favorite video of yours and I've seen a LOT of them. The skill and talent of the old ad-men, studio professionals and musicians from that era is astounding. In many ways the digital revolution has stifled creativity and made things too easy. Pity that.
The sound quality from your r2t and this master tape is unbeliveble....so clear and natural...analog is king!
That was excellent! I'm of an age where I can remember several of those jingles. I am a fan of what they now call 'Library Music', and CTS are one of the major sources. Thanks for sharing!
That's amazing sound for a 50-40+ year old master tape. Did you do any kind of digitial noise processing or EQ? It looks to me like they spliced tapes from smaller reels onto a bigger reel for storage.
Yep...they are multiple splices...see the beginning of the tape and the video description text box for more info.
Thats great. I'm a former radio DJ and have some small promo reels of radio jingles, station ID's and commercials from various companies (Jam Productions, Gwinsound), stored away that I need to get them out and dub to digital.
I'm sure people would like that. If you don't then whoever inherits them won't understand the importance. They'd probably just end up in landfill.
I've saved quite a few old reels, carts, cassettes and old promo records from the trash dumpster when radio started going digital in the mid 90's.
And from the tape reel Cine Tele Sound used high quality tape made by Afga in Germany.
This TH-cam video is priceless. It's 22min 53sec ride on a time machine that brings you back simpler times. It almost brought a tear to my eye. Great work.
Thanks old chap.
As a collector of early demo and master tapes I always am amazed by the amazing quality of a recording from 40 or 50 years ago. It is incredible how reel to reel tape manages to keep a constant quality throughout the years, with of course some additional background hiss in some cases. Great video with some fascinating recordings going all the way back to 1963. it's a great find.
On a scale of yes to no...my score is "nein" - lol wow I've never heard that one before! 😂
Well, there's a pun in there, as well --- he says ON A SCALE OF YES TO NO, as in, ON A SCALE OF ONE TO TEN, so a "NINE" would mean, "very little", since it's almost to the TEN, as in, totally no. But the joke is that "NEIN" means "no" in German. :P
97 missing episodes. And now we know who to blame.
I think this is the best most informative nostalgic video I've ever had the pleasure of watching on TH-cam. Thanks.
I'm addicted to the Techmoan channel. I like the introduction, the narration, content and even the puppets at the end! Great stuff, sir.
the sound quality is excellent, even with all the processing before it gets to me. That truly surprised me.
the same
I love hidden gems on tape. Excellent work Mat.
your videos are such a treasure for me, thank you so much for devoting your time to this it makes my life whole
I've watched and rewatched your channel for ages. I'm fascinated how a guy just sharing his interest has inadvertently created in important archive for lost and forgotten things.
techmoan, thank you for these videos i really do appreciate the effort.
I must say the sound quality is superb.
Just watched this video, what a fantastic job you’ve done on the production and a nod to the respect given to the nostalgia factor.
You have become the worlds first electronic archeologist. Keep it up. This really took me back to my younger days - and the quality is amazing!!
As I sit here eating heinz beans on toasted wheatsheaf, I realize that all of these recordings have really nice reverb.
Really? Where did you get the Wheatsheaf?
it's all classic mechanical plate reverbs which are really hard to replicate digitally. The sound is something else!
The sketch about the missing Doctor Who tapes made me sad
Wow Sam, who hurt you? Bitter gits ruin everything.
Nice to see that all Who fans agree where the show went wrong. LOL
I actually LIKED Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy. They were awesome, it's just a shame they were given such a large quantity of BS to work with in terms of scripts...
Speaking of Doctor Who, am I the only one who's hearing Roger Delgado at 8:07?
casualevils The BBC had a junking policy until 1993. That's right they were erasing and destroying video tapes right up into the early 90's. But as for Doctor Who - yea it's sad but it couldn't be helped. No one thought that 30...40...and 50 years later that their would be world wide interest in a children's show.
According to the late Barry Lets, "To store one full season of BBC programing would've taken up the size of The Royal Albert Hall. Wasn't possible."
And the 2 inch video tapes at the time cost £600 pounds sterling per 30 minute reel. That's why they were often erased right after broadcast. But by 1970 they knew the show was huge and they could have saved all the original 2 inch quad Pal 625 line video master tapes from. Doctor Who.
Think about it - For The Daleks Master Plan (a fantastic 12 part story) all we have is Episodes: 2, 5, 10 and a 20 second clip that was cut.
And no Marco Polo.
At least all the Pertwees are in colour now on DVD.
Thanks for doing the work to preserve this type of thing. It's scary to think about all the media that will be lost forever.
Every time I watch your work, I'm just blown away - top work buddy.
Man, that stuff sounds so good, what quality! Just love those takes of the "Heinz SoupADay" jingle. I'd never heard it before but it still works, I can't get it out of my head now! xD Love that co-op song too.
German here: Not a very good commercial about Carlton. Something like: "Together...together....together...together! Enjoy carlton together! That's the new style we love! The rich and mature, the sympathically clear, the full taste of carlton! Enjoy carlton together, for the pleasure of good taste!" (German wordpun (Reich=Rich, Reif=mature)...although not a very good one :D)
Also, there is a very noticable british accent in the recording^^
Anvilshock sympathisch [angenehm; auch veraltet: mitfühlend, gleich gestimmt]congenially {adv} [pleasantly; sympathetically]
The dictionary must be wrong then. In case of a cigarette, i think "angenehm" is very fitting. And to make it sound more like the german slogan, i translated it like that. It took a while to post, so after that i noticed some already posted translations, but they are pretty literal. The meaning is the same, but you can't read it in the same "beat".
Also, to clarify, Carlton was a cigarette brand:
brand-history.com/imperial-tobacco-group/carlton/carlton-aus-freude-am-guten-geschmack
I do not think that the speaker has a British accent or any kind of accent. He just pronounced everything extremely clearly and the intonation was a bit different from everyday speaking but that's actually how most of the people talked in advertisements and on TV and radio in general until the 1970s in Germany.
@@@Solakidede , lisrtening to old Norwegian recordings, being radio programs (interviews etc) or TV shows of the olden age, it’s the same thing. Makes you wonder if people acutally _spoke_ that way before… :P
This is easily my personal favourite out of all your videos. ^_^ Keep up the amazing work!!
Wonderful audio quality of the jingles. Thank you techmoan
Had to stop by and support the fish & chips fund! If anyone had a claim to the monetization of this video, I would think Heinz instead of Lennon. Glad you got it sorted out!
I love the new intro!
Thanks for sharing such a rare recording. It was a pleasure to listen to and learn about the producers .
You are truly a wonderful person! As well as reminding us all of a much better time for our country, you have captured history for generations to enjoy! Thank you so much for sharing this.
it's so weird listening to this kind of content in so high quality.
Thank you for this retrospective. Your research is fantastic. I was particularly interested in this because one of the engineer markings, "J.R." represents John Richards. I've had the pleasure of working with him for two decades. His career has moved him from London to Los Angeles focusing on film and television orchestral recordings. He is retired now, but still around (in Los Angeles). I will have to pick his brain about these recordings when I see him next.
Great job giving us insight on the works of Eric Tomlinson and Johnny Johnston. That level of attention to detail is awesome and one of the reasons your videos are so interesting.
I'm into the puppet segments, and I'd like to add the B-roll on this channel is always exceptional. The closeups are clear, well-lit and informative.
5 years ago I was living in Ashton-under-Lyne near Manchester (but I've recovered now) and across the road from the flats where I lived was Catalyst Productions. They did jingles, adverts etc. for radio and telly. Their business failed and they closed down and moved out. When they'd shifted most of their stuff out they hired a skip for what was left.
One day I was making a cup of tea and staring out the window while I waited for the kettle and I saw what looked like 10" tape reel boxes. I was out of the flat and downstairs long before the kettle boiled! When I got to the skip, a guy was throwing something else in and I asked if it was o.k. to take the tapes. He said "Yeah, knock yerself out mate, they're no use to us now."
I ended up with about a dozen full reels and about six part reels. I loaded one excitedly onto my Tascam four-track machine. Then the capstan belt broke so I still haven't a clue what's on them and I haven't got round to fixing the Tascam. The plan is to get the tape machine going again and digitise whatever's on the tapes if it's worth keeping. Thren I can wipe the tapes and use them again. There's probably nothing life-changing on the tapes but you never know...
isn't that near Oldham
I'm from st Mary's
Yeah, that's the one. It was good there at one time. It ain't any more!
Why don't you send em to techmoan
Because I've got a tape machine (when I fix it) and I can do it myself. I've been doing this stuff for over 30 years.
The 'Co-Operation' tune is a good example of Johnson reworking earlier material, in this case, the 1950s jingle 'You Can Be Sure Of Shell'.
ONE OF YOUR BEST VLOGS. SO WELL RESEARCHED. THANKS FOR BRINGING IT TO US. CHEERS!
Sir. I love your presentational skills. I especially like how you pause at the right moments for emphasis. Very well done.
Unless I'm very much mistaken the narrator at 8:06 is Roger Delgado, best known as The Master opposite Jon Pertwee's Doctor. Just a fun thing to point out considering the closing sketch!
The first master.
Neat! And your user name is all the convincing I need
this video came out in 2016. It's 2020, and the jingle at 6:04 is one of the most beautiful things i have ever heard in my life!
Love the b-roll used during the playback of the content. It really allows you to appreciate the audio's origin.
Honestly the coolest video you've done so far! And I love the new intro.
I am amazed at how good this tape sounds. It's just like FLACs, only a tad bigger and harder to handle.
seeing somebody that full of enthusiasm on old advertisement tunes reminds me of timecop or judge dredd wtf that movie was where they are everybody's favorite music.
Love the new intro, love the muppets bit at the end and loved the main video itself. HUGELY looking forward to your minidisc episode in the future!
I last watched this video quite a long time ago, and little did I know this would come in handy for my research paper about commercial music! Thank you a lot for the material and the sources you provided.
Lovin the new intro.
Love your videos, Techmoan. Holy crap, the sound quality of that tape is amazing! What is it about vintage sound recordings that sounds so natural compared to modern recordings?
I really enjoyed this video. It was a fascinating look through some history. Audio quality was great too. I'm kinda surprised stuff like this is just out on eBay and not in a museum or something... though I guess now it's in your collection so that's pretty similar :) Thanks for picking this up and for sharing with us.
I could watch those tape reels spin all day long. Great video, Techmoan!
Any chance of a copy or a video of the full set of masters all in one?
Very interesting as usual. Reminds me of the album "Sell Out" by The Who.
What a great video, I love the attention to detail and research that you put into it, well done!
Love the new intro. High quality content as usual, and the research really does make this top notch stuff. And the muppets made me laugh, as usual. Thanks.
That puppet show at the end is sad because it's true. Even worse is NASA taping over the high quality video tapes of the first moon landing and leaving all of future humanity with crummy slow scan TV video.
Helium Road ...or so *they* claimed..... *cue dramatic orchestra music* Dun, daaa, dun, dunnnnnnn.... LOL :)
IamDunn I knew someone would go there RE the "fake moon landing"... god... and to think, some people _still_ think the earth is flat... talk shot anti-science!
NASA have now decided to go to the Moon instead of Mars. let's hope they get there this time.
Conspiracy theorists versus rocket scientists... and the category is rockets... can I get "The Flat Earth" for $200, Alex?
Helium Road No..wait..What...NASA DID WHAT?!
You should upload these to archive.org so they can be made available.
What is more amazing is the fact that the azimuth of your reel to reel is matching the one that of the reel to reel that recorded this master tape. The sound quality is absolutely amazing. :)
@Techmoan. I really appreciate the amount of work and effort you put into the making of your programmes. They're very informative and fun to watch. As a broadcast technology professional, it does bring back memories.
On the subject of CTS (at least I think it was CTS - could've been Abbey Road), there were a number of masters that were lost due to flooding. Some of John Barry's (seen in one of your pics from the recording of You Only Live Twice) much loved scores appear to have been lost. A great shame.
sound quality is amazing

My english isn't perfect, but i think "Enjoy Carlton together" would be a better translation.
Mike Herbst: Nicht "durch Carlton", sondern "der Carlton" genießen.
Simon D. Diese Stelle ist wirklich nicht gut zu verstehen. Es hört sich eher an wie "Den vollen Geschmack dö Carlton genießen".
Mike Herbst p
It just came across as the soundtrack to a German vintage porno 'grumbleflick' to me? You could almost imagine the hairy lady gardens and shot putters arm pits! 😂😂😂
The sound of those recordings was amazing for how old they are, almost pristine quality. And I also wanted to say that I absolutely love the little snippets at the end with the puppets. It's always hilarious to see them after the outro.
Love your videos. Into old tech and it's amazing to see all of the items that have fallen off the radar over the years.
