Very nice! I’d thought you meant just one cut!

Whilst this might be a controversial comment with some, I have to say I do prefer those 1985 JAM jingles to the ones on air now. I think they sound brighter and listening to certain American stations playing similar music to Radio 2 I think they could easily still work on air today.

That dumb Radio 2 voiceover that was played after them proves they are by far superior.
They would definitely work on air today… and would do in another 30 years too.

Aha – what a nice sparkly start to the day !

If you want more JAM on your radio you know where to go…..

I’m usually listening to GEM of course Graham but it really did make my morning hearing those. I was already feeling quite nostalgic because of BTTF. Great Scott!

I think nostalgia tints the views here – Radio 2 I love those jingles but that’s not the station sound now Radio 2 – maybe in some people idealistic heads but whilst Radio 2 plays a variety of styles and genres its not an old sounding station.

A Nice jingle Graham and good to see BBC Radio 2 using one of OUR Solid Gold GEM AM jingles!

As regards whether the 1985 JAM jingles would ‘work’ on Radio 2 now, they certainly are tighter/ more fluid, have more variety of tempos/transitions than the Wise Buddha set, which are more like mini songs, and sometimes only get played twice an hour – surely that fact speaks reams about them?
