Borderline, this one. I don't usually include advertising records on this site, except as demonstrations of the products of companies such as Lyntone (q.v) - there are just too many of them, and I didn't want to clutter the place up with hundreds of pages featuring records with labels such as 'Barclays Bank' or 'Burnley Building Society'. In this case, however, the firm behind the EAP demonstration disc was a bona fide record company, so I've decided to make an executive decision and include it, for the sake of interest. Ray Anderson's EAP - East Anglian Productions - was a firm which specialized in the production of jingles, for use in radio stations. Its EAP label output was almost entirely on albums of the '100 Jingles' kind (it put out four LPs during 1976-77, numbered in an EAP-1000 series) but in 1978 it made available to interested parties an EP with selections of typical jingles on it, taken from its back catalogue. As well as producing jingles it also made commercials, and it had a recording studio. In addition it was involved in the production of documentary albums about offshore radio stations. It is still going today and part of its business is still concerned with radio, dealing in offshore / pirate radio memorabilia. Anderson was also behind another 'jingles' label, Jumbo (q.v.).
