Looks like I have a new project. 
Who wants me to dig out all my K-Tel albums and post pics?
I was raised on K-Tel records and still have all my Mom's and mine from back in the day.
I was more of a 45RPM boy and I never really bought many albums by specific artists so K-tels were made to order for someone like me. All original artists and versions of the hit songs.
I loved the commercials. They played them so often that they were almost like a song all their own. You could sing along to the commercial medleys because you knew exactly which song clip was coming next. I was still buying K-Tels into the 80's.......

And yeah those commercials played SO much, especially on the local stations here in Chicago (WFLD Chan. 32, etc.) Even now when I hear certain songs on the radio, my mind will automatically hear the next song played during those commercial medleys! That K-Tel ABBA greatest hits record especially, that one is permanently burned into my brain haha.
And as a kid I would get so overly excited when the commercial would mention the record containing a KISS song!
OOOOOOH! (ala Horseshack) ME, meeee!
