A present from my Dad

After I had posted the previous BBC link, my Mum, who had seen the post, gave me this.

Mission to the Moon
Man on the Moon – Philips – click on the image for a larger version to see the details.

It is a contemporary “News of the World” record offer, commemorating the Moon Landing, which my Dad had got in 1969.

I have not played the record!

Man on the Moon 4

Also from Google: we hear from the man who for the time, when he was orbiting behind the moon and the moon landing was being carried out, was (and probably for the first time in human history)  truly on his own.

Did they not realise that us and everyone else with a TiVo or Sky box would rewind and freeze frame to spot the substitution!
