Need some good laugh? Then laugh your ass off to our wide colection of radio goofups, spoofs and chaos in between! Trigger Warning: So much foul language, seggsy innuendos and un-PC stuff that won't fly today in this society. It just gets worse in every track of this playlist!

Radio Chaos - Spoofs, Bloops and Blunders [EXPLICIT]

Going through some old tapes and found this gem, very funny piss take of 80s radio DJs in the UK.

Alfasound Out Takes

They say that imitiation is the sincerest form of flattery. 

Well, myself, Graham Collins and of course, Len Groat, have all been influenced one way or another in the jingles we've used on air by a certain BBC network. 

However, it wasn't until recently until I put this together that I found out how many we'd actually used!! Mind you, we do have an ex-R1 jock with us (Jen Costello) so I suppose we're allowed :-)

The Rude Bits of My Collection

NEW: WABC Production Room Spoof - The Julian Breen Story - Company Unknown

NEW: Alfasound Pisstake Demo - Company Unknown

From the early pirates to the start of Radio One, this was the golden age of Radio Jingles. Here is a selection as heard in the UK from 1965 to 1975, on Radio London (16, 17, 18, 26d &31, Radio England 27 and Radio One 31, 32, 33 34, 40, 41 43 and others. 

After each cut, we hear a version from elsewhere in the world for comparison. Radio One started with PAMS then Pepper Tanner (Now Sound & It's What's Happening) then Audio Producers, and then back to PAMS. 

I accidentally placed the Audio Producers (1969) material before Pepper Tanner (1968) in my montage, but it is a minor detour!

This montage covers the period up until the BBC went to JAM, This I shall publish shortly, along with a similar selection for Britain Radio and Radio Two

Side B - From the now defunct Alfasound, I purchased this tape at the end of 1989. On side A was Trent 10 (including Sound FM Leicester and GEM AM) by Alfasound and Century 21. Side B included Trent 11 from Alfasound and JAM which aired a couple of months later in January 1990.

Alfasound and JAM - Trent 11, Sound FM and GEM AM aired 1990

‘PAMS GUILTY PLEASURES’ – PART ONE

This is what keeps me happy for days. I have been working on this project for the past 3 years, inspired by ’PAMS’ 70th anniversary! Here is a montage of some of my favourite ‘PAMS’ Jingles, the whole thing goes on for a ridiculous 3 hours (I love listening to them loud on a long car journey). Don’t worry I have cut it down into 3 parts. Part 2 and 3 still need a lot more work.  Thankfully you no longer have to do this on a reel-to-reel machine.

Many have gone before me doing ‘PAMS’ montages. I was inspired to do this hearing from others including Ken R Deutsch, Jon Wolfert, Tracy Carmen on (REEL RADIO), the late Michael Neff whose collection I would love to have had a copy of, Norman Barrington who has an amazing collection, and has been very helpful. Norman has kindly done a 10 minute ‘curated edit’ for those who cannot stand the 50 mins worth.   

Please anybody know who ‘Storm King’ is or was? Sam Ward? Thanks to everyone else not mentioned who has helped me with this project.

A very special thanks has to go to KEN R who saved so many of theses PAMS tapes from being dumped. 

What I love so much about PAMS, pre series 40 was that you can sing along to them, they are so catchy! 

Hope you enjoy it as much as I have had putting it together.

'PAMS' GUILTY PLEASURES - PART-1 (FULL LENGTH VERSION)

NEW: RJO - Jingle Package Of The Month (July 2024) - KSFF - K-Soft 1160 'Waukon, IA' (2010) - JAM

Only dyed-in-the-wool jingle aficionados with understand and recognise what they are 
listening to. Here is 20 minutes of studio session outtakes from the original recordings made from 1960 to November 1961. They are #15 Living Radio, #16 The Sound of the city, #17 The New Frontier, and #18 Sonosational. 

I have chosen mostly fragments (where the takes go wrong) rather than whole cuts, since they still have commercial value, and many remain available as resings by Jon Wolfert at JAM (pams.com). Jon is the owner of the entire PAMS back catalogue. I am reproducing these with his kind permission. 

Back then, recording technology was limited although PAMS was ahead of the game. It is interesting to consider that tracks of that era were recorded "simul" (rhythm, brass and/or strings all at the same time) which is one reason they needed so many takes of each cut. Everything was recorded across just two tracks, for final mixing to mono. Everybody had to get everything exactly right at the same time, and the more players you have in the room the harder that becomes, or they would have to do a retake which often could exceed 20 tries. 

I have included conversation in the studio, with discussions between Bill Meeks and Euel Box where nerves sometimes get frayed after an arduous day of recording, as well as humorous banter between the musicians. This I have filtered and amplified to make it easier to follow. Out of this apparent chaos, came the most remarkable jingle music beds ('OBs') as they are known in the trade, ready to be sung over, for hundreds of stations across the world. That these tapes have survived over sixty years in such good condition is amazing. You are likely to find yourself listening to something you once heard over AM radio in high fidelity over sixty years later.

Here is only the tip of the iceberg of my archive, I am keeping the two tracks separate whenever possible, so you can hear clearly what each musician is doing, often lost in the final product, and together with studio ambience, I try to put you back there, right in amongst the instruments, experiencing the birth of some of the most famous jingles ever made.

Therefore it is ideal if you have high quality monitor speakers, or good headphones for best effect. 

I hope you enjoy my efforts.
