      Haha!

      Pete, that was of course actually from the demo for the SuperSounds jingles service,
      of which they never got a single customer!

      And I posted the full audio of the demo and its made-up “aircheck” on JM years ago !!!

      :^)

          Historically, those of us collecting back in the reel-to-reel dub days of the late 1960s and the
          70’s had dubs of all sorts of stuff – and also original first generation station dubs mooched
          directly from stations “from New Zealand to Newfoundland, and every where in between”
          as I used to say… just like a certain JMW was doing in the USA, although we never knew that then…

            I can’t believe No one purchased any of these I would of (if they were not stupid prices!) Certainly better than some of the other stuff that appeared in the UK
            over the following 3 or 4 years!

              The concept was supposedly to match the area of a client “station” to a sound/style

              “Ilkley Moor Bar Tat” (sp?) for “an industrialised area like Yorkshire” was maybe a bit twee?

              PS – this has made me realise that I have a number of dormant S/c accounts (and no doubt email boxes of all kinds)
              that really need to be cleared out!

                  “Hi Anyone give me the URL of the station web site and how i can listen to it please”

                  Eh?!?!?!?
                  The “station” never existed!
                  And not to be confused with either an Italian station of a similar name, or an online “community station” in Scotland.

                  The audio was from a constructed demo for a custom jingles service by a production company that never succeeded.
