'Logoset
/ Priority One'
cut
in April, 1976 was the first JAM
package used on WPGC and was ordered by Program
Director, Jim Collins.
'Priority One' was originally
produced in 1975 for WDIA in Memphis while 'Logoset'
was the first JAM
custom package cut that same year for WABC.
For
a while, JAM
utilized an actual WPGC aircheck of Jim
Collins to demonstrate to other stations how they sounded
in use on the air.

'Positron'
was a custom package for WABC
in 1977 and went on to become one of the most widely syndicated
packages in JAM's
history. Program
Director, Dan Mason
ordered it for WPGC in early 1978.
'Express
Pack' was another JAM
collection from 1978, obstensibly for WQXI in Atlanta.
The demo heard here also included cuts for WPGC, in the
hope the station might order them. It didn't, perhaps
because 'Positron' was so new on the station at
the time.
'Specialty
Cuts' from August, 1979 were not part of any
particular package overall but intended as an addendum
to existing ones in use at the time with cuts for specific
usage such as morning show features like 'Day Off With
Pay' and 'Boss Of The Day'.
Also
included on this brief package was the widespread Hallelujah
Choir's treatment of 'Elliott & Woodside'
including deliberate outtakes on the latter's name.
At
the tail of this set, listen for the Choir's similar
treatment of 'Congressman Cottonpicker for President'
that were cut early in 1980. The first two of these were
the originals; the latter two were the re-sings with the
accent on a different syllable.
'Christmas
Kit' from December,
1979 was actually cut for WABC
in December, 1977 and was JAM's
first holiday package. The cuts were used extensively
during WPGC's annual '24 Hours of Christmas' special
each year.
'Whisper
Chants' from June of 1980 were used as quick
drop-ins between songs to identify the station without
interrupting the flow of the music. As the more-music
battle with Q107
heated up, other cuts touting '30 Minute Music Sweep'
and 'More Continuous Music, WPGC' were created.
Likewise for the station promotion, 'Free Money Hi-Lo'.
As
Disco gasped it's last dying breath in 1980, 'The
Music Sounds Best' was
ordered by Program
Director, Scott Shannon.
As a stand alone cut, it may very well have been part of
another JAM
package out at the same time.
'Foxx
& Theismann Shouts' debuted
in early 1982 when Elliott
& Woodside bolted for
Q107.
'Double
Plus', originally created for WYNY in New York
premiered on WPGC in the fall of 1982 and coincided with
the tragic change in format. Sadly, it was to be the last
package ever ordered from JAM.
The
'Walker & Howe Shout'
replaced the 'Foxx & Theismann
Shouts' late in 1982 when
Dude Walker & J.
Robert Howe succeeded Dave Foxx
& Joe Theismann in mornings.
