Anyone know which production house produced these jingles or if they were produced in-house by the team behind the CD? Regardless, the third donut jingle sounds very familiar. Take a listen and let me know what you think.

I would guess its an Top Format Re-sing of Jam Tracks the 3rd one sounds like a Z100 weather cut (also I think Radio 1 had this re-sung)

I am going to go through my collection see if I can dig up the orignal

Definitely based around cuts from the “Flamethrower” “Breakthrough” and “Into The Music”. Some of them don’t sound too bad compared to other jingle soundalikes.

Cheers Robin. I’ve since dug out my JAM demo’s and found that the first jingle is based around “The Flame Thrower” cut #8 and the second jingles is based around “Breakthrough” cut #4. Originally I thought the third jingle was based around a Z100 weather cut, but hey, it’s a WPLJ one! The third jingle is a soundalike of the weather cut from “Into The Music” (cut #14). I wonder if these jingles were prodcued by Top Format then?

You’re right Martin; Radio 1 had this cut sung as their travel news bed in 1987. You can hear it here.

Thanks to Robin for clearing that up

I have been listning to my Z100 Jingles and I was just about to go through the radio 1 cuts

As far as I know the only people which can re-sing on Jam Tracks are
Steve Engalnd and Top Format and its not a Steve Engalnd / Alfasound
so I assume its an Early Top Format re-sing I could be wrong but I do not know of any one else (except the Manchester Mix Rip Off’s but thats another story!) 😉

These can’t be bad as the Radio Forth RFM “Turbo Z” rip offs mentioned here before which Steve England apparently found hilarious. You can see why with their very low budget sound.

I was curious about these JAM soundalike jingles so I emailed Jonathan Wolfert about them earlier. Here’s the response I got back from him:

Mark,

Guess again. I have never heard these before, and we had nothing to do with them. They are obviously cheap ripoffs of some of our cuts, but I don’t know who did them, why, where or when.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, although there’s not much we can about it except pretend we never heard them and move on!
