I think I posted this once before – ages ago. I’ve been going through my last few remaining cassettes – dubbing interesting stuff before throwing them out and I unearthed this one again (can’t find the original dub I made).

Not strictly jingle related, but a bit of fun and there is a spoof jingle in there!

I love the “yes indeedy its Leicester sound FM sweeper”!

“Christmas Tapes” used to be quite a “tradition” for stations pre-digital/corporate radio era.

And of course usually “embarrassing” for the “victims” of those whose better-to-have-been-erased
“out-takes” were carefully lifted up off the equivalent of the “cutting room floor”.
:^)

I might have a hunt though my old tapes for anything similar!

(PS – I still have quite a few digitized copies of the B&st%rd Brothers items – which like “Christmas
Tapes” were of course “NOT for Broadcast” !

I should know, but who is that V/O ?

The one near the begining is JR Nelson from Z-100, unfortunately he’s passed away. Voice of the Superstation and Capital

One of the most amazing station voice over artists ever – His sweepers still sound HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGE

[DuncanNewmarchMember]

Agreed, I miss hearing him.
Having said that, the great John B Wells is very much with us (still sounding great!) and hosting his own talk show in the states but does VO work/imaging as “a hobby”.
