Hi Norman,great site I am just starting to get back into broadcasting
- both as an interest and as a work thing. Have just done an RSL for a
military vehicle rally - RADIO WAR & PEACE.Noticed a reference on
your site to a Sonovox that Steve England did for you back in '73.(I re-established
contact with him the other day via the PAMS site). At around 72/73 I used
to sell his cuts through a firm I had set up, EVANS & MARTIN BROADCAST
PRODUCTIONS.We had dreams of becomming a major UK station id prod house
plus commercial production, syndicated features etc. That did not come
to pass, and in early '74 I went off to become LBCs first Commercials
Producer.Evans & Matin produced one id package, aimed at the disco
jocks and hospital radio stations. It was THE FRONTAL SOUND. We sold a
few! - our maketing perhaps being stonger than our product!!! I have not
listened to it for many many years. I think it is time though to put it
back in 'the public domain'.Anyhow,perhaps if you were jingle collecting
back then you may even have a copy of the demo - or even been one of the
lucky ones who even had a customised set!!I cannot recal the names of
any of our customers except one, Tony Harding - he was involved in hosiptal
radio in Southampton and later I beleive had a jingle selling operation
under the name of PRAMS.After the FRONTAL SOUND we did start getting together
a better session singing group based around a local light operatic society
and some of that stuff was nearer 'the bench mark' - or so I remember
it to be.EVANS & MARTIN were up and running before EMISON - Studio
G had been on the scene for a long time plus a number of outfits making
programmes for 208 and of couse the IBC studio. But in some ways I think
EVANS & MATIN BROADCADST PRODUCTIONS can lay claim to be the first
outfit in the UK set up to produce packaged station ids and syndicated
features - although we were going out of business before the third ILR
had even gone to air!!!!! I also noticed reference to P & T 's HEART
series - the great thing about this package was that it was so damn easy
to edit out the station logo section and still have a musically and lyrically
valid cut.I made much use of it on a land based pirate in '69 and '70
- SUN RADIO.ENOUGH! it is past bed time - I had no idea till the last
few days that there was so much radio stuff on The Web - hardly made a
dent on your site yet - keep up the good work.Yours,in the mood, CHRIS.

Hi NormanJust wondering, can anyone help? Looking for a good quality copy
of 2 jingles that Jack Spector used on his shows on Caroline 1965/6 "Put
a tiger in your transistor" & "Let's go on with the show"
Probably made with Non I.D for U.S. Stations, does anyone have a copy?I've
lots to swap as I have "Daffy" Don Allen's masters from Caroline
North. Also any of Jack Spector show from 1965 0r 1966, Cheers Norman
