They don't fade In on the Original CD. 1:28 Is A Picture of Emperor Rosco, of a Revue of the "Thames 2 Disco Deck by Citronic" for Rodger Squires Monthly Magazine. I still have the Mag. Rodger Squires was one of the leading Disco outlets for Equipment for the Mobile DJ. And this was the First all In one Deck, Two Good Players and a Tape Deck plus, Pitch Controls (Not that we knew what they were for at the time) and a Extra socket for another Tape Deck (External) It was very Heavy. Mine fell apart a long time ago, but Boy It was worth every Penny.
Squires had a store in Manchester too & if you had enough money, you could get a NAB Cart player & use jingles like these, most of the jingles they provided were edited versions of PAMS cuts from demos. I think the fade-in would be an incorrect playback setting on Virtual DJ or similar.

Why did they all sound like cheesy American advert jingles from the late 1950s? A pity a more 'British' sound couldn't be produced by the BBC especially when so much of 60s music talent was British.
"Cheesy," you call it. Yet internationally, no one could think of how to do it any better. They all sounded "like cheesy American advert jingles" because PAMS was an AMERICAN production house. Maybe because Radio 1 and Radio Caroline offshore COPIED American Top 40 radio. I'm sure you didn't mean to come across as so arrogant and condescending.
I guess the keywords were 'fun','wonderful' and 'great'. Rather forced jollity and coolness. In fact, IMHO, upon reflection, pretty nauseating stuff used year in year out by this government pop radio station - designed to copy the pirate offshore radio pop stations that had been jammed and banned in Britain in the late 60's,who in turn had copied American formats. [And who did all this 'cool' stuff a lot more convincingly]
