"Available" is a bit difficult..one cannot buy a dub (legally).

Copies DO exist "out there" - would you perhaps have something to swap for a dub?

Does anyone remember the 97.4 Rock FM - 1993 JAM jingles, such as:

Top of the Hour, Breakthrough 1993 "Rocking the North West, Red Rose Rock FM"

Does anyone know if they are available ?

There were two versions of that cut. The original Breakthrough cut from 1990 was sung as "Rock FM". The second was a Steve England remix with JAM vocals as "Red Rose Rock FM".

Thanks a lot JingleUploads, they bring back memories.

I certainly remember hearing the first one from 1990 styled as "Rock FM", but I don't think the re-mixed version attached from 1995 was played on-air as "Red Rose Rock FM".

The 1990 version was used as any other JAM jingle and not as the TOH jingle, as Rock FM had a policy of not playing jingles after the news bulletins for the first year or so, which was very unusual for a pop/rock music station.

When they scrapped the on-the-hour news bulletin, that is when it became the TOH jingle and name "Red Rose" was dropped on-air around late 1991/early 1992.

When the "Red Rose" name was re-introduced on-air in early 1993, they re-used the original breakthrough bed of 1990, but was sung as "Red Rose Rock FM".

When they started to phase out the "Red Rose" name again around 1995-1996, the jingle was re-mixed as "Rock FM" style, using the same bed as the re-mixed one attached to this thread.

The remixed version attached is a hybrid of the:

- "Rock FM" style re-mixed bed of 1995; and
- the singing style from the 1993 "Red Rose Rock FM" TOH.
