Isn’t it funny that Alfa were at their best, in my opinion, when they were singing their own stuff. “Sitting in the shade drinking lemonade...”

jonno said:For many of us in the UK of a certain age, Alfasound was the soundtrack to our radio experience if our households listened to BBC or commercial local stations, rather than national radio networks.
For me, the Radio Victory packages for the Portsmouth commercial station (named after Admiral Lord Nelson's flagship HMS Victory, which is one of the main attractions in dry dock in the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard) are what got me into jingles.
In the beginning, Alfasound, founded by Steve England and composer Alan Fawkes produced all their own material. Later Alfasound became agents for JAM in the UK, so we began to hear more Dallas jingles across the UK. Either full JAM vocals on JAM tracks or Alfasound vocals on JAM tracks and in a few cases, JAM vocals over Alfasound tracks.

Delta montage was sourced from the Delta Radio CD (purchased from Alfasound).
