"Watch Out There's A Bloke Ogler About!"
I hear you, WTF?
Top Man is a legendary UK based menswear fashion shop. The jingle is very much in the pop genre and has plenty of giggling ladies as they 'ogle' (meaning to stare at, often in a slightly sexually suggestive manner) guys who have just bought their new 'kit' from Top Man - the guys just look so gorgeous that the ladies cannot help themselves having a good long 'ogle'
For example:
Lady says "If I say that you have a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?" Pretty corny huh?
Also some 'bloke experiences' from a cockney sounding guy and another guy with a very heavy Scottish accent - bought their new clothes at Top Man and the ladies just won't leave them alone!
Damn, going to Top Man seems to change their lives!
Finishes with a freaky sounding guy voicing "you have been warned!"
Because this flexi-disc plays at 33, it runs for quite a while - play it and laugh!
TOP MAN - Promotional advertisting release
Lyntone
Cat# no catalogue number issued
Made in Great Britain
Dates from around late 70's - early 80's
Plays at 33rpm SINGLE SIDED - never play the 'other' side otherwise your tonearm will skate all over the place (no grooves)
Metallic gold in colour 'paper thin' flexi-disc - handle with EXTREME care
Visually inspected the media, very clean EXCEPT for a very small 'bump' near the runout area. This is why flexidisc's are so hard to find now, they are fragile! I placed this disc on the turntable (weighted down in the centre a little so it will play) and while the tonearm rides that little bump fine, the audio is fine throughout - surface noise is not an issue, easy to hear what they are saying and the corny jingle music - nice bit of Brit nostalgia.
Because of the nature of this flexi-disc, it has been placed in a new inner plastic sleeve and then within an archival grade (used by broadcast industry years ago) cardboard sleeve to protect it from bending or worst still, folding!
This flexi-disc must have been supplied with a mens fashion magazine, there is no way this went to the broadcast industry - the flexidisc is just too fragile for that purpose.
