In fact we started it. And in the next six months we're going to awaken millions of record-buyers to the cause. The handwriting's on the wall for the revolution in producing, promoting, selling and buying of "serious" recorded music.

Let's look at the potential market. In addition to the regulars, there's a new breed of people out there. The U.S. population age profile shows the number of persons in the prime record- buying groups (teen-agers and young adults) is at a new peak. And will continue to rise during the next decade. Young people have their own reasons for buying (or not buying) music. The first two are their ears. Then there's their eyes. And their bodies. And every body has a soul.

They respond to excitement. They've proved it in rock and pop and folk and country. And now Columbia stimulates their response to other music.

The stuff is there. Composers were and are revolutionaries. Innovators. Great music was and is departure in sounds. AND MUSIC LIVES. Pre or post Electronic Age. Off with the stuffed shirts. We hereby launch an all-out, all-new campaign to program and package the "classics." Our

product is the finest. It not only speaks for itself. It can speak to people (customers). Our ads will be with-it. And they will go where it's at. Everywhere. Including media under and over the ground. Publicity and promotions will be massive. Displays will be impressive.

Check our new releases. We've got a lot more than the Masterworks shown. For examples, from Odyssey there's Mahler, Chopin, Strauss, Bartok, Barber, Beethoven and Gershwin. There's Walter and the New York Philharmonic, Ljuba Welitsch, Reiner, Szigeti, B. Goodman, Price, Casals, Serkin

Columbia has something. And the ways to get it across. Across your counters. On Columbia Records®

And it’ll be the same for the Original Sound Track Album. Featuring: “People” and “You Are Woman,

I Am Man.” Plus three songs written especially for the sound track: “Funny Girl,” “Roller Skate Rag” and “The Swan.” And on the sleeve, you’ll find all of Barbra’s greatest recordings to date. Fantastic!
