The Most Wanted

 


Although I'm interested in the majority of jingles offered to me by other collectors, here now follows a list of jingle packages, jingles and production music that I'm specifically after full and clean copies of:


Yorkshire Coast Radio
Airforce Jingle Package 1993

These jingles were on the air when I holidayed in Scarborough in 1993 and thus hold many memories. It was the first jingle package used by YCR and predominately features re-sings of cuts from Airforce's "It's A Kind Of Magic" jingle package; originally created for Isle Of Wight Radio. The funky travel jingle came from the GLR "Impact" package.


Wessex FM
Airforce "Greatest Memories/Latest Hits" Re-Sings
Wessex FM had some custom Airforce cuts produced. However, I'm specifically after the re-sings of the Essex Radio "Greatest Hits/Latest Memories" cuts.


100.7 Heart FM
JAM & Groove Addicts Jingle Packages


Marcher Coast FM
Alfasound "Marcher/Gold 1995/6"

This package features re-sings of the JAM Creative Production's KBIG packages "The Big Difference" and "Horizon" with Alfasound singers.


KLFM
Century 21 Jingle Package 1993/4

This jingle package (also sung for Hereward FM) featured cuts from Century 21's "The New PLJ" package.


Metro FM
Alfasound "Metro6" (JAM Composite)


The Pulse
Chris Moyles - JAM "Turbo Z" Cut #10
A re-sing of "Turbo Z" cut 10 (JAM Creative Productions) for Chris Moyles circa 1992. This jingle was used on his "Evening Bit" show.


The Pulse
Hits On Holiday/Hits Not Homework - JAM "Z-Force" Cut #14
The Pulse's JAM jingle package from 1991 included "Z-Force" cut #14. In 1992 two re-worked versions of this cut appeared on air which were sung "Hits On Holiday" (as per the sample) and "Hits Not Homework". I later discovered that these were the lyrics chosen for this cut by Metro FM when they had it sung as part of their "Metro6" jingle package. As both stations were part of the Metro Radio Group at the time, I suspect that a little creative work on part of the stations created these new versions for the Pulse. Incidentally, Metro6 versions of the cut can be heard here.


The Pulse Of West Yorkshire
1995 Alex Hall Phone-In - JAM "Energy2" Cut
The Pulse's 1995 composite jingle package predominately featured cuts from the second JAM jingle package custom created for NRJ, France; often referred to as "Energy2". The majority of the cuts in this package later appeared as part of the "In The Mix" package sung for for Mix 105 New York. This "Alex Hall Phone-In" cut (an "Energy2" cut which didn't feature as part of "In The Mix") was a 1995 Pulse package add-on.


The Pulse Of West Yorkshire
1995 JAM Package Re-Sings

The original versions of the cuts in the Pulse's 1995 composite jingle package featured lyrics which never made it to air. The cuts were re-sung for various Pulse features such as "Rewind", "Number 1's at 1" and "The Countdown Hour". These later lyric re-works may have just been supplied as acapellas to drop over the original jingles?


The Pulse Of West Yorkshire
West Yorkshire Weather 1995
I'd forgot about this one! The Pulse weather jingle from 1995. This cut didn't feature on the original version of the 1995 package.


The New Hallam FM
Nick Coady Voiceovers/Sweepers & News Intro 1993
When Hallam FM re-branded itself as "The New Hallam FM" in 1993, a set of new sweepers were introduced featuring the voice of Nick Coady. Also at this time, a new news intro bed was introduced. Sweepers were the only imaging used until a month or so later when the 1993 JAM jingle package was introduced to compliment them.


Hallam FM
JAM "The Best Music" Jingles 1992
This mini-package followed the 1991 composite package and was used up until Hallam FM re-branded itself as "The New Hallam FM" in 1993. Several station edited versions of cuts from the 1991 package were also used at this time. The mini-package in question featured the following cuts (this list is not exhaustive): "Brite & Sunny" #14, "Sunlight" #12, "Z-Force" #6 & #13 and "Z-World" #5. NOTE: Off-air sample updated to include all the above listed jingles (6th January 2007).


Hallam FM
"There's Always More Chances To Win" Jingle 1991/2
JAM "Q-Cuts" Cut #2 
The off-air sample here from 1992 is a promo for "The Incredible Hallam FM Lucky Number Gamecard Giveaway" (what a tongue twister!), which uses a station produced extended mix of this jingle. This cut did not feature on the 1991 main package, but I'm not sure if it was an add-on in 1991 or 1992.


BBC Radio Sheffield
Century 21 "K-Lite" Re-sings 1992#

BBC Radio Lincolnshire
Second Alfasound Package (as on ALFA CD 4)



I have included short off-air 96kbs mp3 samples of some of the above packages in case it's not clear to which particular package or jingle I'm referring.

# indicates I already have a copy of the package albeit not the full version.

For many years I was an avid listener to Hallam FM, my local radio station from nearby Sheffield.  Therefore, in addition to the list above, I  would consequently also appreciate greatly any material that I haven't already got such.

If you can help with any of the above packages it would be much appreciated. Please CONTACT ME to arrange a swap for something in your collection.
