Yesterday's radio commercials and related jingles are disposable flotsam and jetsam. Often rescued from the dumpster and tape eraser, here's where they live to celebrate another day, and give us a peek into the pop culture of the past. All material has been sourced from tapes or vinyl discs (records) used on the air at radio stations or dubs of said tapes, transferred for pristine quality when possible.

Off The Rack Generic Christmas Jingles....Just In Time for the Holidays....
Why oh why does everything Christmas come "just in time for the holidays"? Like it was actually a coincidence, and months of planning had no factor in the remarkable timing? It's getting so bad you're having "pre boxing week" sales leading up to Christmas...but isn't that a pre christmas sale? The commericalism is getting more and more foolish and arrogant every year I expect someone to just yell on TV or radio "JUST GO OUT AND BUY A F***** GIFT FOR SOMEONE WHY DON'T YA?" Yes, really, I do expect it.
But, enough of the soapbox, and more of why you're here....
From the Mars Production Library, comes this disc of both jingles and accapella one liners to incorporate into local station productions. Not sure of the date, but I'm gonna guess mid-late 1960s. Just tag them with your stations announcer or logo.
What I found this christmas though, is when I was playing background music at a charity event off my laptop, I mixed these in for good measure. They might be fun for a Christmas CD compilation you can share with your friends or a get together to add a bit of spice to your music mix. Enjoy!
Great stuff!!! I love these little tiny, tiny bits of Christmas.

Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for catching that Ernie.....It's been fixed.
ReplyDeleteOver at falalalala a request was made for the jingles in one zip...that has also now been posted....
Thanks for fixing it. I went ahead and downloaded all the individual tracks earlier. I love this stuff. :)
ReplyDeleteLove love these jingle posts!!! I'm sure I'll be using these for my next Christmas CD compilation.
ReplyDeleteThanks!!!
Mars Productions - which later became Tanner's "Instant Library Service", and ultimately "Instant Replay".
