Hi Guys,
Just found the above on You Tube plus a bit with Dave Foxx. Sorry can't do links but just search the above. “You can't beat a Jam jingle”.

Here`s the link to the YouTube posting…

Thanks David. I had a feeling that you might pop up and do the link for me. Wouldn't we like to “borrow” the contents of the cupboard for a day !!!!! I am sure we would only just listen to them. What a shame they are kept in the dark.

No problem John…

when we were in Longmeadow MA visiting with Tracy Carman, I heard a legit story from someone at the Media Preservation Foundation that no-one knows where all those master tapes in that cupboard ended up….

“JAM created the original jingles used by New York's Z100 (WHTZ) when it first began in 1983. The station quickly became #1, and for over 10 years JAM continued to make exciting, innovative Z100 packages which are used by hundreds of stations around the world. We visited Chris Jagger during his afternoon air shift on July 8, 1992, where you'll see him using cuts from our “Turbo Z” and “Z World” packages. We also dropped in on Dave Foxx to see where all of those master tapes were kept. (By the way, even though the station was famous for saying “From the top of the Empire State Building…”, only the transmitter was there. At this time the studios were located in Secaucus, New Jersey. But at least you could see the Empire State Building from their 6th floor window, as you'll notice if you watch closely!)”
