Has anyone ever heard the Portrait demo and know which company produced it? I see on other sites that mentions Tanner. I don’t think that package appeared in the US until late 80’s, which would probably make it Media General.

There was also a country package that showed up in the US around 1986. I think it was also Media General.

Does anyone have any information on these packages? Thanks.

Do you mean the little country songs? I know Sky Radio had them resung, by JAM mind you – Tanner was already gone in 1989 I think (the year Sky ordered them). Here are the Sky cuts:

Thanks Marc,
That’s the Portrait package, but I think the US jingles are sung by Media General. I say that because the U.S. vocals sound like Media General.
It’s a mystery to me. There were actually
2 (?) other country packages out around the same time that sounded like they had the same vocalists.
I’m not talking about ALL HIT COUNTRY by Media General.
It could be JAM, but it doesn’t sound like it.
You’ve given me something to think about
though.

Martin, sorry this is off-topic, the topic that I started, but reading through some old posts the other day, I think you were at one time looking for who had New Horizons in Orlando. When I was in Tampa in the late 80’s, 95.7 had New Horizons and Dallas Power at the same time. They have a good signal, so I thought this might have been the station you heard.

JAM did them according to Jon on Rewound

Thanks Glen.
The US versions sound like Media General.
I know the SKY versions were done by JAM.
I just wasn’t sure about the US versions.
Thanks for the info
