Tango In The Night UK TV ad

[tango87]

Ahoy there Ledgies! I'm new here but have been a frequent visitor over the years, and finally have something to say...

I've just stumbled across this amazing slice of nostalgia - do any of you other Brit Ledgies remember this lovely advert for Tango In the Night in 87? It was my entry point into Mac territory, and frankly I never thought I'd see it again! I just think it's so lovely that a Warner Bros marketing type somewhere decided to commission such a great piece of animation to promote the album. It certainly worked on me as I bought it in all formats - even the 'clear cassette'.

They used stills from the ad for the Family Man single sleeve, and I seem to remember two special 'art prints' in the boxed edition of the single too.

Enjoy a trip down memory lane...

That is great. Thinking of seeing that for the first time, hearing their voices, but not seeing their faces. Makes my heart beat.

Great find.

I remember that ad. I was living in Holland at the time and they ran it there too, the exact same thing. They probably used the same ad for western Europe. Thanks for posting this!

I don't remember this at all - thanks for posting!

And welcome to The Ledge - have fun!

Wow that's awesome! Thanks so much for posting! The animation is actually really cool! The album cover really came alive

There was also a nice ad for the Greatest Hits the following year, with very stylised animated versions of each of the band members. Maybe that one will turn up one day too!
