JAM jingle session for BBC Radio 1 (1984) 

It’s a treat to see the people behind the voices. These jingles are the crème de la crème. They sounded superb, especially when Radio 1 went to FM in the late 80s. I can still remember lyrics to some of them to this day and I’m now 55…. Send a Request We Can Play on the Air From Cardiff, Belfast, to Glasgow Square…. The Best Sound in Britain. Sadly, there is nothing this good on the radio today. When Heart Radio introduced its 80s service did they spend a penny on a retro jingle package ... No. Thankfully online station Solid Gold Gem AM has a JAM package and I can tell you they still sound as good today as they did decades ago.

This package is still fondly remembered by us here in the UK. This composite sounded brilliant on the air. Bruce, Mike,Chris and Johnny really give those vocals "maximum power" as well (spot the link?) And see if you can spot the reference to another BBC JAM package by Johnny Beerling towards the end of the clip...😃 RIP Chris and Dan.....

Woweeeee always wanted to know what they all looked like. Hiw amazing too see them singing.. Such cracking jingles snd singing for the time.. Thanks for posting

I can't believe it's over 34 years since this amazing jingle package aired.

Nice adaptation of the 95 KIMN "Best Show in Denver" JAM Jingle package.

The 1970s jingles were absolute dope when heard on BBC Radio 1 and 2. Total classics that everyone from that era remembers fondly today.

This is amazing. Would love these guys to have done some jingles for my radio shows.

Dan Alexander also did the main voicing for the PAMS pirate Radio London jingles, back in the 1960s - including the Sonovox.

Loved the rapport between Jon and the late Dan Alexander! :)

Never knew Anne Kirkbride recorded jingles!

I think this is the Denver KIMN package that was adapted for Radio 1. Is that correct?

Anyone know what recording console that was?

Doesn't all jingles coming from JAM have a characteristic sound, making it hard for them to sell it as an unique identity for all stations? I mean, it's not very strong on identity when it sounds just like the jingle package that went out the door for another station the day before this. Jingle studios should instead try to leave a defined sound and be diverse.
