[HCDX] Rare 1960's Australian Radio Jingles Heard Again

[info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Rare Australian Radio Jingles and more heard again
--------------------------------------------------

The latest Radio Heritage Foundation documentary from Radio New
Zealand International features a 20 minute collection of very rare
Australian radio promotion jingles and old radio adverts mainly from
the 1960's and 70's.

The program tours each state and the ACT, visiting 'The Young
Generation' at 2CA Canberra [1962], the 'Snob Mob' at 2CH Sydney
[1970], 'Townsville, I'm coming home' from 4AY [1980] and others from
3EE Melbourne, 5AD Adelaide, 6PR Perth and 7HO Hobart.

All of the promo ID's are in long form, some running well over 3
minutes and of a kind rarely heard today.

In between each station promo jingle, you'll hear popular radio
adverts of the same era, including the Morris 850 car [1962], Peters
Ice Cream [1961], the brilliant 'We love football, meatpies,
kangaroos and Holden cars' from 1975 and others.

It's probably the only time you'll hear an advert for Loveable Bras
on Radio New Zealand!

These are all one of a kind station jingles, and give a unique idea
of what listening to Australian AM radio was like 25-45 years ago.

Listen to the Mailbox program via shortwave or live streaming from
Radio New Zealand International, or visit www.rnzi.com, go to 'more
audio', click on Mailbox and then listen to the program for April 16
2006.

Several of the stations featured in the documentary also appear
online at www.radioheritage.net along with other interesting news and
items about Pacific radio heritage.

Enjoy!
