22 December:
It’s Noel Edmonds’ birthday today. Those of us in the UK over a certain age will remember him as a very fine broadcaster. Here’s Bob’s tribute from two years ago:

True – authenticity needs crackle, plus a sense of being bleary-eyed.

[jonnoMember]

On a sideways topic I love listening to recordings (I’ve got hours of them) of Laser 558.

Sat outside relaxing on the decking on a sunny afternoon with the AM quality sounds blasting out from my wifi radio! Just as it sounded 30 odd years ago!

needs to have that AM sound quality for added nostalgia

Radio 1 was on FM at that time though

I posted a 1982 & a 1983(/4?) start-up years ago (medium wave quality) on JingleMad.
I’ll see if I can dig ’em out and SoundCloud them.

I would love to hear these and others various start ups from pre-1984 (in stereo)….

A 1985 start up (in stereo) was kindly posted by a member on here a few years ago.

Interesting in that start up how Radio 1 used (part of) a jingle from the 1980 package.

Duh! I realised that after I’d posted my comment. Happy to sit in the corner with the dunces hat on

Just added to SC one that I posted several years back.

Would that be the special version Sean? You know, the one with added zing and clarity

[JAM / PAMSMember]

Just FYI, the :20-:30 instrumental breaks (heard in-between all of those nonstop Radio 1 jingles) are also from JAM. It was “The Pre Sign-on JAM Show on Radio 1”. We loved it.

[GrahamCollins]

Thanks Jon – are you able to say how many tracks the BBC licensed or did they buy The Answer complete? I only mention it as I have never seen any reference to the tracks, or seen a Log Sheet or noticed LPs in the fabled cupboard. As usual this sort of information is so good to have.

Thanks

We loved it more!

Personally, I could have woken up at 7.30 am to get to work, but instead, five to six made the day ahead a brighter perspective

[Jim Donahue]

Was ‘The Answer’ ever released on CD?

[RobinBlamires]

Unti recently it was on sale as “The Answer For The 90s”.

[SeanMartin]

Was ‘The Answer’ ever released on CD?

As Robin pointed out, a CD set of “select tracks” and mixouts from the original vinyl version was released, titled The Answer for the 90’s.

[Jim Donahue]

No longer available, of course!
