And you remember the jingles used to go...." TWITTER.COM/DJMIKEBROWN | ||

Following on from that, the Signal and Beacon Alfasound packages, the Radio 1 Top 40 stuff and Radio 2 JAM cuts. Yeeeah! | ||

In fact what got me interested in jingles was when Caroline started pinching (off air) the new jingles being transmitted by Radio England during their test transmissions. I particularly remember hearing "The Boss Jocks, play more music!" on Radio England and again half an hour later on Caroline. I was hooked and the rest is history, as they say. I never did get hold of a quality copy of that jingle! Maybe there's one out there somwhere? Boss Jocks...play more music...(and have cool jingles!) Oldies Radio...Bringin' back the good times | ||

In my case, pirate Radio Scotland in 1966 where they had the now-understandable edits of PAMS Series 27 - everyone knew the "Golden Classic" one - running on 1/4" reel-to-reel on huge metal tape decks which were tilted on racks rather than flat or vertical. "Boss Jocks"? - WFIL Philadelphia would be a good place to start I think?! ...............# "Around the World from Scotland - All the Best Jingles, All the Best Airchecks" # | ||

I also remeber the BBC Radio 2 1980 traffic bed. That seems to stick very much in my mind.

bigdave Registered Member #59 Joined: Sun Feb 09 2003, 05:00AMPosts: 955 | Probably the earliest would be the EMISON cuts for Radio Hallam (my dad started working there in 1978 and used to take me down to the studio) or the JAM cuts for Radio 1 from around the same time. I can also remember being really excited when Hallam replaced there cuts with the Hallamland package from Sue Manning back in 1980. It's still one of my holy grails to get a studio quality copy of that package or copies of the carts at least.... There's a friend I know called Radio and it means a lot to me..... | ||

I still get a chill down my spine thinking of "Hudson Valley Weather" "Here, Have Some Jingles!" | ||

 Registered Member #3680 Joined: Thu Oct 21 2004, 05:00AMPosts: 3652 | I had heard jingles on Radio One in the 1970s but only became "mad" on jingles when Metro Radio in Newcastle went on-air. One of their first set of jingles was from PAMS (Solid Rock) including the station song "Driving down the A1...". Co-incidentally I heard my first "WABC New York City" jingles on Metro Radio, Tyne & Wear. Len Groat presented a Top 20 USA show at the weekend and used American radio station ID jingles instead of Metro Radio IDs, I suppose it was rather confusing for the geordie listener but it was Len who got me "into" this wacky, world of ID jingles AND........ it was Len who in 1977 sent me some demo-tapes of a jingle company called JAM Creative Productions.

 Registered Member #559 Joined: Thu Jun 05 2003, 05:00AMPosts: 265 | Mine MUST have been on Radio 2 in about 1980... first one I remember singing was Radio 2's travel news from the 1984 package! First one I recorded was totally by accident - it was Viking Radio sport from 1984 - then an old Radio Aire 94.6 cut, recorded by a total fluke. And the first one I deliberately recorded was in winter 1987 and it was 'Keeping You Warm in Winter... Aire the Hot FM' I then went on to record loads more from Jon Hammond's mid-morning show on Aire. I've got the tape somewhere... They were then used over and over again on Bedroom FM as Spoons 'perfected' his radio skills. LOL! Oak IS the king of woods | ||

Barras That didn't just happen on Metro. This was a special Beacon American Hot 100 from July 4th 1976 with Mike Baker and the late Jay Oliver. If I could find the disc I'd put in a better clip but for other reasons this is on my hard drive. Of course this is years before the AM spin off of Beacon called WABC (Wolverhampton And Black Country) which is what they wanted to call Beacon in the first place. Probably why they were played. beacon_bee_gees.mp3 [ Edited Sun May 17 2009, 10:46PM ] | ||

At least I can say it was definitely a PAMS jingle. 'nuff said Life is like a sewer.What you get out of it,depends on what you put into it. | ||
