I've only just found out about the passing of Desmond Dekker of 'Isaraelites' fame. Especially as last week myself Ross and Josie were dancing to that track at the Roxy! However the thing that will stick in my head the most about that track was it's use in advertising, most notably for Vitalite but another for Maxell back in 1989.
You can see the latter one here which like the Thames Television clip earlier shows how TV ads in the present day (with one or two exceptions) seem to have forgotten that you can have fun with advertising whilst still selling the products. This is equally viable to radio after listening to some of the ads on my dad's recordings of Capital Radio from over 15 years ago. I may have to dig some out and put them onto this blog sometime!
However earlier today I got my photos developed from the antics from last semester and they can be found on the photo link on the right of this page. An interesting selection of the many weird and wonderful people from Harrow campus!
