Apple Advert on MTV 1997

Posted on July 17, 2015June 8, 2025 By Priptona No Comments on Apple Advert on MTV 1997

Not seen such a clean copy of this before. 

Oh, it is such mid 90s advertising drivel! I wonder, if approached, whether they’d ever do aything like this again?

And a bit of oneupmanship re: Minds v U2 – Minds advertising/being in bed with Apple looooong before “downloadgate” (re: Songs Of Innocence and the iTunes saga). 

Not sure it’s something to brag about, though :-/

Not sure the date of the advert is right, either. Jim and Charlie look firmly in 1995 to me. Jim’s even wearing the red shirt he wore at Glastonbury that year.
