Here’s the full show from Sunday 21st July 2019 (running time 3hrs 6min):

Apart from the superb helping of Nostalgia, jingle tales and rarities enjoyed by us ‘anoraks’….

…today’s UK radio DJs (so called ‘presenters’) would do well to learn from the flow focus fluidity and seamless vocal linking by Jon….. the skills Johnny Walker, Alan Freeman, Noel Edmonds and a few others perfected….

[ratnobMember]

Yes, JMW has a rare gift of making us as listeners all feel we’re part of a club and yet all feel he’s talking to us personally. And it’s intelligent stuff rather than banalities.

[DuncanNewmarchMember]

I agree with the above.

Jingles are in his DNA but his love and understanding of radio shines through each Sunday- the secret of his success?

Here’s the scoped version of Sunday’s show: http://www.jingles.com/audio/rr/rewound-20190721-sc.mp3

[IainJohnston]

For various reasons, I’ve not even been able to listen to the scoped shows of recent times,
so I’ve not been keeping-up with Jon’s “theme topics” of late.

So I wish I could have “contributed” to e.g. the “first jingles I ever heard” thread, and a few others :^[

PS – liked the “Wixy” reference :^) Was an awful of “Wixy” radios in 1960s US radio.
Hence my old handle…

PPS – KPOI K-poi Honolulu? where’s my old 1969 tape???

PPPS – “lively companion” old jingles on 1960s pirate radio – likewise indeed, on offshore Radio Scotland.
Who had probably the first PAMS jingle I ever heard but didn’t know was away back then, (and probably many
other people) – a chop-up edit of “Remember This Golden Classic” with the WABC edited out.
Ironically, a “community station” about 10 miles from here IS STILL USING a digital edit of that cut.
(“the preceding is a Copyrighted Feature”… maybe hasn’t reached their staff yet?)

Well, folks, I wanted to let you all know that I’ve submitted my comments and requests to Jon via the Rewound Radio email link (under Jon’s name). One comment is related to a jingle demo presentation while another involves one of the PAMS resings for Rewound Radio. I will not give anything away, but I’m sure Jon will use one of my comments on the air when he gets around to it.

Great show and great jingle memories as always!

IF there was a WABC “version” of “Golden Classic”–it was an “Audition” copy as the version that aired was “Remember This Solid Gold One” (from Series #29)..

[IainJohnston]

“IF there was a WABC “version” of “Golden Classic”–it was an “Audition” copy”

Indeed Neil.

In the 60s pirate radio era (and beyond) it was the demo (and many other PAMS ones) that were
“used” by those stations and many others e.g. hospital radio stations (something that probably
was unique to the UK)?

One story that circulated in Scotland years ago was that of a “mobile disco” that was called
“Seventy Seven W A B C” who actually had their very own jingles – needless to say it was
PAMS 27.

Air version of PAMS 27 WABC – indeed have those (and the KenR release, which seemed incomplete to me.

And the scoped version …

[IainJohnston]

Noted Jon’s comment at the start about being “licensed”.

Don’t know about these days, but in the 60s etc, “deejays” on US radio actually had to pass an FCC exam
which included some of the basics of equipment maintenance even that of the transmitters (AM a lot hairier
than today’s compact FM TXs).

Could never imagine many a UK “presenter” having much of clue on the technical side, especially some of
today’s “celebrity” ones!

[nleibo]

The FCC 3rd Class “licensing” aspect of U.S. Radio was demoted to an FCC “permit” for about $20 (US) in the 1980’s–you could just mail the FCC your application and check/money order and in about a week or 2 , wham–you get your FCC 3rd Class permit (which allowed you to “operate” the equipment and take the meter readings)–but to repair the equipment, you still needed to pass an exam for an “Official” FCC License.

[IainJohnston]

Port Arthur’s KFMP – some people have been looking for those Series 27 (including “Surf”)
cuts for over 40 years – ever since it appeared in a promotional montage thing in the early 1970s!

Ken Justiss “The Travelling Sonovox Player” interview – fascinating :^)

And nice to hear the “Lake Michigan” audio, which I posted on JM a while back :^)

@gameswizard Many thanks as always for providing the full show links.

I don’t get chance to listen live on a Sunday so I download the shows onto my sports watch and listen during the week when I’m out running. Nothing like a bit of jingle time to keep the motivation going!

[ratnobMember]

Agreed – @gameswizard you are brilliant at uploading so quickly and consistently.

As mentioned before, I can’t get the time to listen to these properly, even the scoped ones, so I miss a lot.

When I do get a chance to dip in, I hear Jon mentioning stations that I scrounged jingle dubs from all those years
ago when some of us on this side of the Pond were doing what Jon was doing in the States.

This week – he says surely WHO 1040 (Des Moines, Iowa) must have had more jingles over the years
than he knows about?

From 1972 I’ve got a WHO reel that what was one of several packages I always dreaded getting dubs of – a
very dated-sounding Roy Ross effort, which turned up in many places surprisingly.

For those who can bear to listen to it, I’ll upload it to S/c later.

But I have to say, and no offence to those who kindly provide us with the full & scoped versions, which I DO
greatly appreciate – even a simple one-line “description” of the “Jingle time” contents could be added to the posts,
I’d probably not miss so much of things that I could perhaps contribute some classic jingle audio to!
