ahh they are soooo generous in the Netherlands
you can even zip up “all the cuts” quite an expensive place to purchase from mind for the collector / web station Euro 350 I was quoted per cut but I sooo love their work over the years … Marc, hello 
you are a radio man from Holland, do you know any rumour if R10 Gold might revamp their jingles anytime soon ? I guess these are hard times … to me the JAM packages suited them just fine (and thanks for posting some more of those for me) I notice on the TF website there are strange re-workings of the R10 FM package sung instead as just “Radio 10” which I think makes them a little collectable, as I don’t think they were ever used on air … I’m interested to know also about the TF link to my local Essex FM and the ‘Power Positive Package’ made for Essex FM in association with Alfa UK, but that also aired on “Radio 538” for a time … the 538 resings would be a gem to trade for as I can’t locate the full Essex FM package anywhere, just the demo ahh nice work with the audio Marc, these are WNBC cuts that to me are the signature to R10G but I’d not realised they had the audio sung there as R10 some years before ! Its good to learn these things
thanks … On the TF website the custom package that was made (Top Gold 3/4 ?) and sung for R10FM had originally appeared on the TF website sung as R10FM but all the cuts were re-posted more recently sung as R10 which is a but strange as they were never used on air sung that way, actually they now sound very different on the TF website I was caught out when singing along I think its time for new jingles anyway on R10G as they used to change so often ! As for R538 its not my area of expertise, but I understand they are or were a popular station, and “Power Positive” would have been in use around 1996/97 when it appeared on Essex FM certainly a TF demo CD has one of the cuts in a montage for 538 which grabbed my attention ! TF worked with Alfa UK around 1996 on some packages ‘Top Flight’ ‘Power Positive” “Whammer” “Top Gold” and others which as well as the UK ended up on Euro stations such as Welle Salzburg, Charivari, 3FM, R10G etc it was like a partnership between the companies at that time on these packages & vocals were recorded at JAM to add another twist ! Of course back then TF was proud to sing “The Best Of Both Skies” with a Dutch/US vocal group … All interesting stuff what impressed me Marc is how the Netherlands seems to love its radio !!! Lots of energy, passion & good jingles to be heard amigo
David, thanks those 538 cuts were certainly JAM tracks with possibly TF or vocals with TF & JAM vocals as was fashionable at the time
I think their use of ‘Power Positive’ would have been the year after but this is a great listen … The Dutch radio in general is very up-tempo, great DJ’s, great voices, great imaging and an uncanny knack of flipping over to English at a moments notice haha, as I’ve said before it was test transmissions and the early R10G broadcasts back in 1993 that had myself & a half Dutch school friend hooked to the radio Marc, hi that’s a good point there, a country of traders ! And a Dutchman was normally behind or heavily involved with the various 60’s pirate radio stations also lols … I think a lot of the music played is of English origin, I think I know some of the Dutch big hits now from all the years listening to R10G, interestingly in my area of the UK R10G made it into RAJAR as a named station people were listening to in the 90’s
I remember also always loving Sky Radio on the satellite, and parking up on Lowestoft beach on sunny days just to pick up some radio out of the Netherlands …There was a Canadian / Dutch sounding jock “Dave Durham” he called himself who used to present a late night Sunday show on R10G mostly speaking English but reverting to Dutch with ease, it was a great show as he read out a letter I’d sent from over here as a kid, as well as other letters from UK listeners
I remember he pronounced “Edinburgh” in that distinctly North American way people do …Anyway, the topic is jingles / TF and TF have certainly helped the European jingle market no end, dot hey still represent JAM I wonder ? as they are very linked to Music4 and WB now I think ?
