Columbia was making LP & 8-Tracks on most titles. Some also had reel (switching from 7 1/2 ips to 3 3/4 ips) and a few even had 4-track cartridges. This ad campagn was predicated around Clive and the gang resisting adding cassette. They wound up making cassettes within a few months.

Another factoid that trips me out:
In 1970, LP technology was only 22 years old (1948).

Format wars have always been with us, always will, but credit LP vinyl with the most longevity 70 years on.

Cool! Just a year or two later they'd start using this sleeve...

There were a variety of Columbia inner sleeves from 1968 to 1973. In '68, Columbia stopped using sealed plastic bags as the inner sleeve and in '69 stopped using the 360 sound "walking eye" red label.
