Description
You are bidding on the very rare 7" recording of the Clark Gum Shuffle by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. They are uncredited on the sleeve but I found this in Wikipedia:
Pelican Films (292 Madison Avenue, New York, New York) produced a series of commercials using music from Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. Clark liked "The Mexican Shuffle" from the South of the Border album, and commissioned Herb to rerecord it as "The Teaberry Shuffle". In each commercial, a placid person would unwrap a stick of Clark's Teaberry gum and start chewing it. The chewer would abruptly break into a rapid, energetic dance with distinctive shuffling steps for several seconds, then would just as abruptly return to his or her original activity. For instance, one commercial in the campaign featured a column of marching soldiers: one soldier in the middle of the column chewed the gum and stepped out of the column to dance the Teaberry Shuffle, then resumed his position in the column and fell back into step.I am the original owner of this. My dad had vending machines and stocked Clark Gum. I reckon he received this as a promo and it's been in my collection all these years.
