When I was a kid I could never understand why it wasn't in color on our (B&W) set
Anyways, I was messing around with some old reel to reel tapes I made as a kid, probably in 1970 or 71, mostly illegible junk, snippets recorded off the radio, really bad singing by me and my sister...
One thing I found of nostalgic interest ( to me at least) was this short snippet I recorded from the speaker of our RCA portable, it is the announcer saying "In Color" followed by the music from the progam.

Can anyone identify the music? not much to go I know, I'm thinking maybe Gunsmoke?
The quality is bad because it was a cheapo kiddy tape recorder without a pinch roller so the speed varies throughout the tape, I had to use software to get the pitch as close as it is.
I also found an entire Star Kist commercial
