Radio London - PAMS Jingles

[@linesync]

46 years - and we still remember. Big L - Gone, But Never Forgotten.

[@mikedrown2721]

Pams jingles are the best!

[@Roger.Coleman1949]

Born 1949, these Big L Pams jingles are just so nostalgic and evocative of the joy of being a teenager from 1964 to 1967, and were truly the ' soundtrack ' to our lives.I recall so well being away on a training course in Bletchley in mid August 1967, and instructing my mother to set my GEC 2-track tape recorder to record from 2.30 - 3.00p.m on the last day of Big L, the longest time the tapes would run without turning it over !.I still have the tape recorder ( fully restored ) and that EMI tape.It is difficult to realise the sense of forboding and loss of the end of the life of Big L, it was truly the best ' Pirate ' in my opinion.Thanks for this ' gold ' !.

[@alanmusicman3385]

Bletchley - guessing telephone engineer training?

[@Roger.Coleman1949]

@@alanmusicman3385 Yes indeed Alan !.

[@jonathannason2384]

I fully endorse these comments. Just writing my family story and that I would include a few paragraphs on the pirates especially Big L. Thanks Roger for relighting those memories

[@Roger.Coleman1949]

@@jonathannason2384 A pleasure Jonathan , not many would understand that sense of loss from now so long ago - all the best !.

I started working for GPO TELEPHONES on 14 August 1967. I got to hear a recording of "Their final hour" as soon as I got on my bike and got to a friend's home. Many years later, my children couldn't understand the pain I still felt. I told them, think about if the government took away all you tapes, CD's and videos. I was pretty OK, as we still had Caroline, and Veronica. After Caroline's got towed it was a difficult time until RNI. Still listen to Caroline most days.

Thank you for the memories. Popular music radio has never been bettered since those Big L days.

the sonovox is a sound that has evolved alot over the years. and hearing it in radio jingles is a perfect experience.

[@ARCADEGHOST]

Something about the jingle at 6:05 truly touches my heart. It is so beautiful to my ears,and gives tranquility to my heart.

[@jimhynes7039]

Some these vintage Radio London jingles are on The Who's Sell Out album.

[@jeanpaulmaieur6968]

Nice memory, the goods days Bring back the music.

[@jenmilem6655]

That is PAMS Series 18 "Sonosational" for the Amplitude Modulation Radio Station Wonderful Radio London from London, England, United Kingdom from 1961.

[@davecannon334]

Sadly the wall has gone about 5 years ago, it was on the Isle of Wight

[@robtownsend3317]

You're quite right, Dave. I took a couple of pictures before they took it down. The wall should have been protected, a wonderful piece of history. Speaking of history, I have a feeling you know of Ryde Radio?

[@markymarc9339]

There's that Ole jingle at 0:55 that was used on the Who bootleg 'Radio London'..Sounds kinda weird that I don't hear Summertime Blues following it :)

Thank WRIU FM in Kingston.

[@kargaroc386]

Very 1950s sounding

[@chris1948UK]

I have seen the writing on the wall. Don't think I need anything at all. No! Don't think I'll need anything at all. All in all it was all just bricks in the wall. All in all you were all just bricks in the wall.
