More Lang Worth Generic Jingle Campiness!
Doing some cleaning, I found a few more of those 7 inch Lang Worth discs for a specific business, from the late 1950s. All I can say is that it was a different time, because playing these today, you really couldn't take a sponsor seriously, you'd be laughing too much.....well I am anyway....or at least a WTF moment when these are coming out of a speaker. I wish the quality was better, the discs seem to have been well used/tossed around type of thing, but I've cleaned them up as best as I can.

TV Dinners.....and other frozen fun from the mid 20th Century!
After being sick last month around good friday, I decided to take the month off for a jetsam post. Yeah, lazy me.
We're back with jingles reflecting a invention of the mid 20th century....the TV dinner. Swanson was the first to have success, when sitting down in front of the TV to eat was the 1950s equilvalent of people and staring at their smartphones today (and people act like staring at screens is new!!! geesh). It was a time to give mom a break for cooking (Mcdonalds was just starting to have success around that time so fast food as we know it today was hardly known) and the family bonding in front of the TV while they watch their favorite shows. Some more details on the wiki page HERE
Banquet has been a Swanson competitor for almost as long as Swanson has turned out TV dinners, well according to their details on their own WEBSITE Banquet though started out with meat pies and that is reflected on the spots on this disc (see the labels for details!). One can argue which tastes better, Banquet or Swanson, but i've had both, so I'll leave the preferences for another day and let you enjoy these banquet radio spots from I believe 1960 to get you in the mood to head to the microwave and throw in your own TV dinner as you are too lazy to cook yourself something. Even after 60+ years, they are still cheaper then going out even for fast food. Enjoy..the spots and your TV dinner :)

Wrapping Up The Christmas Shopping Jingles.....
...with a nice bow perhaps?
we end the christmas shopping jingles from 1952 with the last side of 2 discs.
Just think, these almost ended up in the dumpster of a radio station I worked at for 16 years when they moved from studios for 48 years in one location! It was a mass exodus, and I loaded up the car (I was living at home at the time, and my mother didn't really love me dragging in some 300 16 inch musty smelling radio transcriptions in the place, but I did what I could, and the smell subsided!). Years later, the locally recorded acetate ones I saved were transferred for the local provincial archives to reel tape and kept by me for now. I got a few reel tapes also, but I won't go into it here. It's just funny how life works, especially with the technology that is called the internet can make it a reality to share this material that otherwise most people wouldn't have known to exist. Fascinating isn't it?
Enjoy!

Christmas Shopping Jingles....countdown....Pt 1 .
Some more Lang Worth Material for you.
I'm unintentionally striving to be the epicenter of downloadable Lang Worth material online.
The Sleeve for this series of discs actually has a date stamped on it...Nov 1952, so it's safe to say these discs are from that year. Dated and campy sure, but we still are as intense about counting down the days to the end of Christmas Shopping as we were 58 years ago.
I'll post these jingles on a per side basis, as we get closer to the next grouping. These are actually individual files, mainly because I wanted to post them on facebook to try to drive my friends nuts by the annoying catchy jingle that's in the style of "99 bottles of beer on the wall". After the end of them, you might want to be locked up in a rubber room.
enjoy!

Radio Hucksters.....Off the Rack Jingles Part 1
This is the first in what hopes to be a large number of posts of "off the rack" jingles that have been produced over the years. Off the Rack jingles can be compared to clothing, sometimes you have it custom made, sometimes you just buy it "off the rack". Most of the time jingles are custom produced or custom sung to a package, but some of the stuff you hear is totally generic for a reason, so anyone can use it at almost any time.
Little seems to be found online for Lang Worth Feature Programs Inc, but suffice it to say they were a service which supplied jingles, feature programs and even music to radio stations in the 1930s 40s and 50s. Lang Worth was one of several, NBC Thesaurus, World Broadcasting System, Standard Broadcast Library, all provided necessary elements to enhance local radio stations of the time, as this was before record companies realized the value of supplying free promotional records to radio. Material was delivered on 16 inch radio transcription discs, or smaller, and often discarded after time. Fortunately, someone left a few in a radio station attic (among a few 100 odd 16 radio transcript discs) in the 1980s and this is how I came across them.
From 1957, we have some "Radio Hucksters" from Lang Worth. These jingles could be used to wrap around live or recorded commerical copy to enhance the spot. Campy now, but not back then......enjoy!
From 1957, Radio Hucksters
