I have nothing better to do than listen to jingles all night and currently going thru my Vibe folder… and wondered what is your favorite Vibe package from over the years?

Mine has to be the original Pulse package from August 1998. West Yorkshires Radio…you’re on the Pulse. Fantastic package.

What’s yours?

Wave 105 1998. Especially the news cut and the travel. Apart from that the current BBC London package

Got to agree! That was the first Vibe package I heard, I was listening to the Pulse regularly at the time and remember ringing them to ask who’d done the package.

I’m sure some of the cuts were on air as early as late 1997 to be honest, however, about half of the cuts on the Pulse 98 demo weren’t played on air until much later – not sure if they were delivered later or just not used.

Don’t think it’s on the demo, there was an excellent re-sing of the ‘Rock-Pop’ cut for the Hirst and Hilton breakfast show in 2000, went something along the lines of.

Wake up West Yorkshire… get up you sleepy head.
Here’s Hirst and Hilton to get you out of bed.
The Man from Del Monte.. he say listen now
For him the Cheeky Monkey and her the Gobby ***
Hirst and Hilton… You’re on the Pulse.

I also got hooked to some of the Vibe BRMB jingles when I worked there in 2001, however… can’t beat the Pulse package, think part of it is that it has a geographical element in there relating to my native lands!

That Vibe Capital group 2001 package was resung for Century (it appears on the Vibe website..) However did it actually make it to air??

The Capital resings were used on all the Century stations from around July 2000 until they introduced the Ocean FM resings in 2001.

Robin – do you actually know that for sure? Did you hear them played out on all the stations?

[MartinS]

The Capital/BRMB re-sings were being used on 105.4 Century FM until just before the current IQ-Beats package was introduced, especially a couple of “Tony Horne in the Morning” cuts.

I liked the Swanses Sound package

It appears Vibe are very good at covering up their packages – taking slightly more trobule over the instrumental ones (e.g. BBC Three).

I’ve never understood quite why though, since all the other companies are quite happy to stick full quality, clean demos on their site.

My favorite packages from Vibe have to be the BBC stuff, especially 3 Counties Radio, LDN, and BBC Three Television. The Island FM stuff is very nice too, though.

Its Island FM for me too.

Superb!

Probably because someone has nicked them in the past and used them on air without permission. It happens quite a lot in foreign countries where it’s harder to enforce the copyright laws that we have in the UK and the US.

That would seem to be an obvious explanation, but they still do the old “echoing numbers” tactic on their earlier packages, so it’s odd…
