Pepper-Tanner email address

R

Does anybody have an email address for Pepper-Tanner in Memphis?
I need to contact them for info on commercials they may have produced.
Thank You :)
 
I checked with Jack Parnell and he also said he doesn't think they exist anymore. Seems Media General would still have that stuff in their archives. (Or, have they also gone out of business?)
 
I think Media General got out of the jingle buisiness only a few years after they purchased the William B. Tanner Company(..the latter years of Pepper-Tanner.) Tanner was sent to the joint which is why it was sold to Media General. He's now in his grave.

TM Century bought the rights to the jingle masters ...they saved a few good ones (and threw the rest in the dumpster) before moving them to TM's Dallas base. Since then it became Jones TM and now TM Studios.
 
Thanks for the help guys! :) The radio ads I have been searching for are the 7-Eleven spots
Billy Lee Riley did in 1967 where he impersonated the voices of Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis,
Fats Domino, etc. I had always assumed the Stanford Agency produced them, but after contacting the only living member remaining from the 1967 ads, he told me another agency must have produced them. More research led to Pepper Studios. The help provided here in this forum led me to a contact from TM who supervised the Media General inventory purchase, and he is positive the master tapes of the radio ads went into a dumpster. They saved the jingles, but no
radio spots. :'(

A guy named Ben Freedman has licensed the P-T/Tanner jingle masters from TM and is selling resings of the packages to stations and others.
