The eighties was a tough decade for many of us, and this spec ad is a sorry victim of a decade best left in the past. The wonderful qualities in this slick is the sexy Madonna, whose image we shamelessly borrowed (paisties and all) to sell some audio tapes. The concept was that, in an era when our hedonistic values were challenged by the AIDS epidemic and (God help us) the Reagan-Bush Presidential terms, the audiophile could have safe sex with such divas as pop-legend Madonna. That is, if they could accept the fact that recording an album was more than simple reproduction.
