By June 26th, 1975, Wings' Venus and Mars had been out for a month, and its lead single, "Listen to What the Man Says," was continuing its climb to the top of the U.S. and U.K. pop charts.
'Saturday Night and Sunday Morning' film director Karel Reisz was commissioned to make the television commercial for the album. Shot on 35mm film in a house in west London in May 1975, the 60 second advertisement features Wings playing a game of snooker, with a soundtrack that includes snippets of 'Venus And Mars', 'You Gave Me The Answer', 'Listen To What The Man Said', 'Treat Her Gently' and 'Medicine Jar'.
It was first broadcast on ITV in the UK on 26th June 1975.
