"100 Sonovox Jingles" from East Anglia Productions. What a great cover!Sonovox was a method of superimposing speech onto other sound sources, invented in the 1940s. It involved attaching speakers to a performer's throat -- by silently voicing words, the performer could modulate the sounds coming from the speakers into a speech form.
Commonly used to create "electronic" sounding voices, this particular album was designed to give 1970s some cheesy voice cues, with sonovox saying things like "Funky", "Oh Yeah", and introducing travel news and chart countdowns. It reminds me of Kenny Everett for some reason...
