The vinyl record, cult and fascination object, reappears in all media since its “renaissance”. You see it in the street, on billboards, in sculptures, in magazines, etc. It shows itself, it emerges from the shadows in which it lurked itself in recent years. Failure to show it for what it is, namely a music support, it also served as a spearhead in numerous adverts, selling unrelated products.
We selected for you the best adverts from all around the world and we show you the most fun and offbeat ads from the television sphere who have used the vinyl record as a means to sell their products!
