Having just arrived back from an alternate Universe……
I have great pleasure in presenting a little bit of Radio (recorded “Off-Air” in 1973)
This is Roger Scott on Radio Supersounds..The UK’s First National Commercial Station formed in 1973 and still going strong in 2020!

Haha!

Pete, that was of course actually from the demo for the SuperSounds jingles service,
of which they never got a single customer!

And I posted the full audio of the demo and its made-up “aircheck” on JM years ago !!!

:^)

Historically, those of us collecting back in the reel-to-reel dub days of the late 1960s and the
70’s had dubs of all sorts of stuff – and also original first generation station dubs mooched
directly from stations “from New Zealand to Newfoundland, and every where in between”
as I used to say… just like a certain JMW was doing in the USA, although we never knew that then…

I can’t believe No one purchased any of these I would of (if they were not stupid prices!) Certainly better than some of the other stuff that appeared in the UK
over the following 3 or 4 years!

The concept was supposedly to match the area of a client “station” to a sound/style

“Ilkley Moor Bar Tat” (sp?) for “an industrialised area like Yorkshire” was maybe a bit twee?

PS – this has made me realise that I have a number of dormant S/c accounts (and no doubt email boxes of all kinds)
that really need to be cleared out!

Hi Anyone give me the URL of the station web site and how i can listen to it please.
Thanks Very Much

“Hi Anyone give me the URL of the station web site and how i can listen to it please”

Eh?!?!?!?
The “station” never existed!
And not to be confused with either an Italian station of a similar name, or an online “community station” in Scotland.

The audio was from a constructed demo for a custom jingles service by a production company that never succeeded.
