Trip back to the 80s with Memorex

Revisit the 80s with an hour long video featuring snippets of ads, products, and images from the decade compiled by Smash TV. The video, titled Memorex, was created using footage from over 40 hours of VHS tapes (what, no Beta?) from back in the day. A pretty cool soundtrack provides the backdrop for the flashy images - for those interested, the full tracklisting is posted below and is available to download here. Via Gizmodo
