- I found this 7-inch single while browsing though the 45's of 'Artists & Fleas' in Brooklyn, NY (got it for 50 cents). On it is the full promotional jingle and radio spot for their lemon-flavored PEPSI LIGHT drink (available in the US during the 70's and 80's.)
I can't get an exact date of this recording - though I'm estimating late 70's. If you have more information, please do comment.
The record contains two tracks:
1. Music and Singers: 'Great Great taste with half the calories'
2. 60 Second Radio Commercial: 'The Time is right for Pepsi Light'.
There is no material on the flip side and only a plain white label.
Audio captured directly into PC sound card for best quality.
My father worked in the beverage industry in the late 70s and brought this home from one of his beverage conventions (Interbev). He would often give us (sister and me) convention schwag as presents from these trips. We chose to play it at 78 speed and jump on the bed to it. So glad you posted it! Make sure to try it at 78...you have barely scratched the surface of this song (no pun intended).
Good luck finding a better jingle for diet soda! Thanks for sharing man!
UPDATED; I just saw how garbled this post was (i use a keyboard on my i-device where I just swipe, and sometimes it can screw up)
A terrific, memorable jingle.
Long story short; i literally grew up in media, and I love a well, done advert spots.
Many promotional - esp. recent spots with... (ugh) ... 'branding' don't understand WHAT a good jingle can do.
They're INFECTIOUS, just like a well-crafted pop song (i'm sure you know some examples HAVE become actual pop records, such as the Carpenters We've Only Just Begun).
They're 'candy' for the brain - they stay with you, unlike 'branding', a person REMEMBERS - not just the music, BUT what the product is, as well.
I've got a bunch of industry promo album-size jingle collections (none of which I've seen anywhere on-line), and I've always wanted to upload them and share them, I've just never had the time, and am sick of the 'copyright police' attacking me - esp. since I'd be uploading a(n old) commercial
+ David Rerecich: any credit listings for this?
This has to be one of “MTN Gang’s” favorite soft drink, Pepsi Light.
1975-76.
