Who remembers this cd with @levis tv commercial songs from 1991? “Personally, the Levi’s 501 came into my life at the age of 11, 12 years young during the mid-1980s. The time I just started at my high school. It was the time that Levi’s screened the now legendary tv-commercials like the ‘Laundry’ with singer and model Nick Kamen, ‘Bathtub’, ‘Parting’, ‘Pick-Up’, and so on. All these tv-commercials were mini-movies, all very nicely made and extra special with the picked songs for each. As a young kid, I never heard the music ‘A Wonderful World’ by Sam Cook and Marvin Gaye’s hit ‘I Heard It Through The Grapevine’, but Levi’s educated me and my friends with these classics. I can clearly remember that I bought in 1991 the cd ‘The Hit Sound Of Levi’s 501’. This cd was a collection with all the songs that Levi’s used on their groundbreaking tv-commercials. A cd that I played over and over again in my portable Philips ghettoblaster. I still proudly own that cd after all those years, I always kept playing it and it takes me every time back to that period and it also gives me a bit of a nostalgic denim feeling.” Read the full article how the @levis 501 kickstarted my denim journey on Long John (link in bio)! 💪
