Not a jingle question, and a bit of a long shot, but can anyone with a bigger anorak than me identify this production library music track which was used a lot in the 80s ?

Thanks in advance

Woohoo! Shazam has come up trumps: Paths of Progress by Andy Clark (KPMK-1268) https://goo.gl/vysurs

now to dig through old airchecks to see if I can identify other old favourite library tracks

It sounds very Channel 4!

Channel 4 used a number of Andy Clark’s tracks during the test card periods in the early days

This particular peice may have featured on channel 4 but I remember it as it was used as the theme tune for Motortalk, a weekly motoring magazine programme on Radio Victory in the 80s.

Here’s another one used I’m sure on ILR and Channel 4 test card transmissions

Incidentally as well as being available via the APM music site, the old KPM library LPs are available to listen on Amazon Music.

Been ploughing through the KPM 1000 series on Amazon Music.. Found a few more familiar tunes so far.. Including this one which was used as the theme tune for a while for the BBC South Today local news programme back in the 80s.

“The Inside Story” by Andy Clark
KPMK 1248 – Synthesis 2

Right, time to put the anorak away and get on with the decorating.

“Central Office of Information” by Mike Vickers

I’ve heard this one used as a TOH/news intro in off-air montages.. but which station was it? https://goo.gl/c1W1XB

When Red Rose Radio launched on Tuesday 5th October 1982 this was used, for a few years, for the news headlines bed. It was slightly edited to give a shorter mix (around 6.5 seconds was removed).
The edit ended up like this:
https://soundcloud.com/gameswizard/red-rose-radio-news-headlines-bed-1982-success-factor-edited
Together with a news opening sting, this gave a 30 seconds run up to the news.

I also heard “Success Factor” used on a radio commercial, too. I can’t remember the product though.

Thanks Mike

“Red Rose Radio”

Ah-ha!
I’ve got that news-in sequence on a number of my old aircheck cassettes from times being in the Preston area.

Now I know why the news-in bed didn’t sound like the actual jingle package (Cath Baxter???), although a “custom”
UK package with an instrumentally six-note logo on a 5-sylable station name did sound “wrong!” to me.

(Cath Baxter???)

Sue Manning, I believe.

[IainJohnston]

Thanks GW – I never could tell ’em apart!

I’m sure it was used for Warrington-runcorn newtown – and at the end the invitation to call the famous Eileen Bilton

[jonnoMemberAuthor]

..and how many local radio stations have used this as a theme for their business programmes?
