18 Great Levi's TV Ads from the 70s

I think this compilation of great Levi's TV ads from the 70's really typifies the creativity and coolness of the decade, from flashbacks to Peter Max/Yellow Submarine-influenced psychedelic trips to retro music soundtracks to the suggestion that your particular wearing of a Levi's jean makes you (and it) unique... an idea that would pervade their advertisements through the ages. All seen through the lens of advertising agencies, of course.

Plus a little discoteque glam thrown in, and a big helping of the soothing jazz of Ken Nordine's voiceovers. It's quite a trip. Watching Levi's ads across the decade, you sometimes gotta wonder what the persons responsible might have been smoking. *dacron polyester*
