New JAM jingles have arrived on WCBS-FM.   Recorded from the stream, there's cuts from Warp Factor, The Flame Thrower, Priority One, PAMS Series 44 (I think), some acapella "Dan Taylor" sings, and a new version of Taylor's Positron morning show cut which is based on the version WABC used on-air (as opposed to the demo version).   The jocks have some fun with these cuts too - check out the Warp Factor DJ cut sung for New York veteran traffic (transit) reporter Joe Nolan!

WABC 50 years in 50 minutes
Norman Barrington's big chronological montage

I have made a new sampler, for the holiday season. I admit it is quite ambitious, consisting entirely of WABC material, and covering 1950-2004. 

I have tried to use less familiar cuts, and for added interest, a sprinkling of cuts that never made it on air (often for obvious reasons). I have avoided basic demo cuts, so as not to be predictable, but where they do appear I have rendered them in stereo, whereas normally they would be only heard in mono.

Although my chronology might not be perfect, it's fairly consistent, thus illustrating the changing styles as the decades rolled by.
I hope you agree it captures the different facets of arguably America's biggest station, as well as the well respected presenters.

Siday, Ross, CRC,  Pams, Homegrown, Pepper(!), Thunder and Jam are all represented.

It struck me that Jon Wolfert at JAM has managed to keep the WABC account for longer that all the other jingle companies put together by a long shot, a fitting tribute to WABC's number #1 fan and expert, thus I dedicate this sampler to him.
