Me ears are alight - recording tape

Listening to Desert Island discs the now, and I asked Lady P if she knew what "German Bread" was - as in "Tea, a drink with German Bread" part of the Doh a dear song from Sound of Music. She looked unbelievingly at me totally aghast and said it wasn't "German bread" it was "Jam and bread". This was a complete moment of revelation for me and will probably change my life for ever.
But it reminded me of the adverts you used to see on television for audio tape. One of them - I believe for BASF tape - was about people getting the words of songs wrong; in the case of the title of this thread "Israelites" by Desmond Decker. But you never see an advert for recording tape or even video tapes these days, do you. You don't even see adverts for blank CDs or DVDs. Funny how things change, isn't it?
