35 years of LBC Radio Jingles

[thisiszaphodbeeblebr]

1994 is the weakest.

Ah sweet memories!!!

[marcus577]

Can't find any photo of Monty Modlin he was a presenter around the mid to late 70s when it was broadcast from Gough Square.

[thisiszaphodbeeblebr]

@marcus577 It's out there on the web.

[MyAccount4TrollingU]

This is so hot. It makes me want to self-suck.

[Nibiru128]

From 1973!

All of a sudden I'm starting to feel my age:(

Well, they do say time flies.

[simonwhu]

Yer good until Lady Porter got hold of it!

[Nibiru128]

@simonwhu Does that harpy still have her poison-tipped tallons into LBC I wonder ?

[cbak12sg]

There must be more from the 70s: "This is am on LBC"; "this is Newswatch on LBC"; "if it's worth thinking about, it's worth talking about, call Brian Hayes now 353 8111"; "news on the hour every hour from LBC"; "LBC, 261 metres and 1151 kilohertz, where news comes first"; "LBC News presents Night Final, a comprehensive round up of today's world, national and London news, Night Final"

[cransley]

Yeah - Great memories. Remember the opening still :-( first carrier that lit up the little stereo light apart from the odd broadcast from Radio 2. Then joined the station in it's prime for 15 years in 1983. Must hunt through some old ROT's to add to the collection. (Jonnie Perry)

As Oct 8 rolls around again I look back with fond memories of THAT morning in 73.

David Jessell was the first voice, however, I was the first newsreader. LBC had a 'wobbly' start, but we were part of the start of commercial radio in the UK after a 50 year BBC monopoly. Working with the likes of Douglas Cameron, Adrian Love, Keith Belcher, Ron Onions and the late Malcolm Rennie I'll never forget!

[phoenix4u1]

i have been listening to lbc since the first day of broadcast i beleive it was 1973,

fond memories of all the early presenters, Monty Modlin was irrating but addictive,

Being hoisted up a tower "song" also Adrian Love a great listener and patient

with some difficult calls. continue the good work LBC,.

[dauntz88]

I loved the package they had last, before London News Radio took over in '94. Didn't like the LNR 'brass' beds and stings. I think '94 was when I switched over to GLR94.9fm, a lot of cabbies switched to GLR as well - I started working there in late '94 early '95. Happy days. Fi & Gid in't morning and Nick and Clare at Drive. And of course - the wonderful mr Jupitas.

[Lozimia2]

Loved it up till 2008 (started listening in '04), Iain Lee, Nick Abbot...good times.

[rorymsvideo]

The best was 2007. It has the best flow. Please post the full theme it had such a building momentum.

[soundzok]

It was in the late 70s that I discovered LBC; Monty Modlin, Jenny Lacey, Beedlebum and the rest. So its the jingles from that time that resonate the most for me.

[bed137]

I prefered the 2003 package as it was melodic and had a nice soft sound

Now it's all orchestral and sounds old fashioned

[LionRock08]

very much so...what a legend. superb on LBC..pronbably my earliest memory of the station. The Modlin family had a shop here in Waterloo. LBC was so good back then: Monty M, Tommy Boyd, Beedle, Dan Damon, C Bull, Doug Cameron, Brian Hayes, Adrian Love,Therese Birch..all legends...  sadly missed..a once great radio station

[TheWillsy]

Hear hear!!

Loved the earlier jingle packages,probably to do with my age :(

[sierradelta07]

@LionRock08 All those name are UK talkradio legends. Catch it some Sunday mornings now but it's not the same.

[sierradelta07]

@LionRock08 All those name are UK talkradio legends. Used to listen to Clive Bull all night most nights. Loved Tommy Boyd. Catch it some Sunday mornings now but it's not the same. Not real keen on Steve Allen.

[simpson30]

1986 was the best one

[psymon4ever]

I've put the intro into Jeremy Beedle's last LBC phone in onto You tube. The intro includes the Jingle into the news.

[simonluckin8]

Fantastic.....they should do the same with Capital - although that has changed out of all recognition and jingles hardly exist anymore!

[exsoulagent]

talk about a trip down memory lane! :-)

anyone know where I can get hold of 1970s LBC radio ad's - I'm looking for the 'Houndsditch Warehouse' one - would be amazed if it's about online

[doolally69]

Gawd, I remember that advert! I also remember the ad for "interseal2000" Windows, it was sung in a George Formby style.

[sierradelta07]

@exsoulagent did you have any luck? I contacted LBC recently to try and find an old Hertz car rental advert.

I remember the Hounsditch Warehouse advert. It certainly was on a lot.

[yelkcubb]

@exsoulagent Ive uploaded it

[psymon4ever]

I remember a longer jungle in the 80's, mostly played during rude bits on Jeremy Beedle's late night phone in lol!

[meadows1982]

What was the piano LBC used last year one that isn't used anymore?

[mark9165]

The 1974 jingle is the one i remember best.

[mark9165]

They need to bring back the LBC jingle tune, it's not the same without it.

[krakenwave]

remember Monty Modlin?

[mark9165]

i vaguely remember the name, i've tried to search him out to refresh my memory not haven't found anything yet

[krakenwave]

Ah you won't find anything on Google thats for sure...Monty was a genial jewish eastender who did LBCs mid-70s late-nite phone-in for the proto-Sven contingent, he was the anti-Brian Hayes and my old man (and the more mellow of the black cab contingent) loved him.

[ravo67]

Nice work my friend but you forgot London Talkback Radio 1152am

Happy New Year

Antonio

[radiodarkhorse]

Was the 1994 theme by David Arnold Music?
