The day that Blondie & the BeeGees were one - circa 1980

Music makes strange bedfellows, as did the advertising agency for Ampex cassette tapes. This 1980 ad for recording cassettes tout among their assets, that they're the "tape that launched a thousand hits."  Ampex counts Blondie and the Bee Gees among the ranks of their professional devotees, and they're hoping their respective fans will follow suit. I'm surprised they didn't diversify even further and recruit Kenny Rogers and Lawrence Welk into the mix in order to reach every possible music lover. Perhaps the company that bills itself as "The Tape of the Stars" was only "The Tape of Two Stars?"
