      Truly awesome classic cut!
      Somewhere I’ve got an old station tape from KIOA Des Moines with their PAMS resing of the original WLS Solid Rock one :)

          Great resing Tony! Of course RTE radio station 2FM also had a resing of the GEM Alfasound version of that jingle with American vocalists.

          I saw Sarah singing live at The Robin 2 in Bilston, Wolverhampton at the beginning of January this year with Stoke based Steely Dan covers band Nearly Dan who are always superb!!!

              Tony I have always been a fan of the longer Jingle Songs and must say S2Blue has done an excellent job on that cut

                From a long long time ago of mooching jingle dubs from stations “from New Zealand to NewFoundland, and everywhere in between”

                Apologies for the audio quality..but if anyone has the KIOA Solid Rock cuts, or Keener/Grabber ones, etc, you know where I am…

                    This is the Metro version (courtesy of Len Groat) – I believe Len worked at Metro at the time and had something to do with this order!

                              Fabulous re-sings and a great piece telling the story. The snippets of vocals a capella are exquisite

                                An interesting listen. Good to hear Steve Butler’s comments, and also the acapella parts of the GEM Song – nice harmonies there.
