Nothing really wrong with promoting an album (or band in general) but how many people are going to look at an ad for a band and say "oh, I must buy that" without knowing anything about the band. I would think way more people bought records based on their friends or relatives recommendations or even radio than printed ads.

Well I remember almost all of what I saw was in the newspaper like in the entertainment section, again back in the 70s. We did have the rock music mags but their news generally coincided with what the newspapers would print as the record labels would do a press release to all media.

Radio stations would get promo records and singles to play but unless it was a popular rock or pop artists I bet a lot of them never got spun. I have Promo labeled records in my collection and most are in NM condition. For sure friends and family recommendations but in the world of progressive rock music in the 70s I bet you bought them cause you were more interested in what this music was since the radio stations were not playing it.
I also bought tons of records that I knew nothing about the music based on the cover art....

You could almost say the same thing about movie ads in the 70s, we all went to see movies we had not much clue what they were about.


I think this ad posted above is a prime example. Many of them do give some insight into what the music is.
