Twas the month before christmas...and all around the jetsam.....

...there must be a few more christmas things to post.....yeah sure....I bet'sam.

Yeah well, tis the season to get on the holiday bandwagon like everyone else...Christmas, holidays I really don't care what the hell you call it, just don't call me late for turkey with all the trimmings this holiday season, which, I confess is always fun for the whole family.


There...all the cliche's I can think of coming out with...for now anyway.


I dug up a few things, largely christmas related but mixed in with a few other events for good measure, and why only share a couple cuts from a production album? Just makes more sense to post the entire disc.



First off, bandleader Henry Jerome, who cut more then a few Lang Worth transcriptions in his day, apparently cut a countdown to christmas disc for LW likely in the 1950s. He was likely well known enough to the audience to actually do this countdown disc, but the wiki doesn't say much. Check it out HERE if you are curious. In any event, it's still a fun countdown to christmas with a couple generic messages mixed in for good measure. Fun dated mid 20th century nostalgia!

This disc from the Pepper Library, likely dated early 1970s is kind of fun, for a couple cuts in particular on side two, The after christmas blues and the safety belt PSA's are delightfully dated and campy for the era, back when seat belts were actually an option when you bought a car and if you decided to use them. Don't get me wrong though, side one has fun jingles that are sort of like being at the bottom you're look to climb looking up....trying to get people to buy in january after breaking people's bank accounts over christmas. A monumental task in itself.

Finally, this disc has a variety of year round holiday jingles with a few christmas focused. Just think, you can use this one year around...for what? I don't know, I just post em, you figure out what you want to do with them. The Santa Claus Lane jingle in particular has a bit of a Rankin Bass christmas feel to it....I alway think Burl Ives as a snowman is about to jump in and sing!

Yes, More Lang Worth Christmas.....and some Christmas stories from the generic jingle folks.....

Here at the jetsam, we focus on jingles. Afterall, we are the JINGLE jetsam. It's really a no brainer. I suppose this is why I have resisted these discs until now, because they aren't really jingles. Still, I know some of you hard cores are looking for Christmas material to complete your compilations, play in the background while you trim the tree, drive through a snowstorm in the car with (drive safely), whatever you want to do with the material to enjoy the holidays, so let's bend the rules on this post with some unique material from the past, likely the 1960s. ]


This first disc pretty much sums up everything Christmas I have from Lang Worth and has been posted on the jetsam. It could be called a radio show I suppose, as a few interesting tidbits from an announcer mixed in with very short versions of Christmas carols that sound older then Alastair Sim's version of "A Christmas Carol" in fact they'd probably fit in nicely in that film. Fun stuff for a compliation/mp3 player.

Now, we have from the Pepper Library what appears to be a generic feature that you can easily customize for a local advertiser called "Tales of Christmas" This disc comes complete with 6 stories each running around 4 minutes, and even the music theme bed to customize it with your local announcer for Joe Dry Cleaners, Barry's Locksmith company, or any other advertiser who wants to buy time to make themselves look good. Funny Thing is, to me, these stories have a cartoon feel to them in the production side of things. These remind me of the old 60s cartoon "The Mighty Hercules" where the voice actors tended to go a bit over the top because it's a kids cartoon. This is what these stories sound like. Not that's it's a bad thing, it's sort of adds to the charm of them. It's a bit less warm and fussy, and more over the top. I always expec Newton the Centaur from hercules to pop up on these somewhere. Enjoy.

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!

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!
