JINGLE SINGLE

     

Home to a series of multi-track singles featuring jingles intended for use by DJs.  Jingle Singles were produced by Geoff Gill, of Roche Studios.  There were seven of them, they were numbered in a JS-0 series, and they appear to have been issued in 1975-76.  They were advertised in the music press, were available via mail order, and were intended to be issued monthly.  Two different designs were used: the first two singles had a sort of 'cloud map' design (1), while the remainder featured a drawing of some vintage sound equipment (2).  Fifteen hundred copies of the first two records were made: JS-2 was pressed by Orlake.  More illustrations, and a fuller account, can be found in an article on the Kernow Beat website.  Other companies to produce records of jingles in the '70s were Jumbo and EAP (q.v. both).  Thanks to Sam Mauger for bringing Jingle Single to my attention and for providing both the second scan and the discography.
