Not to be a dick here, but would you girls stop the bickering and shitting on the OP's thread. I mean really, what the hell are you 2 pissing about? Off-topic or irrelevant posts in people's threads? Really?

Look who's talking....

I'll give you a tip about etiquette on message boards as you seem to need it.

On all boards, messages sometimes drift slightly off topic, but include related items which may be of interest. It's a way of the world. If it drifts too far, it's up to the hosts to intervene. Not "senior members" (What a pretentious title gained by the number of posts made, but it's common on a lot of boards).

If I see something on a message board, which either doesn't interest me, or where I might have handled it differently, or that's slightly off topic, I don't take it upon myself start lecturing other people,

I "Scroll down!"


Try it, next time you're awake.

ALL ABOUT THESE TITLESTRIPS !​

by Charley Lent, the one who provided the original strips you can find on the download pages​

The color of the original factory made titlestrips always indicated the type of music.

- Green was for Country or Country and Western
- Blue was for Blues or Rhythm and Blues or Soul
- Lavender was for Oldies
- Red lines on a white background were for miscellaneous or for the unprinted blanks that the operators filled in by hand
- Red/pink was for Pop.
- Orange was also for Pop, but used much less
- Actually the red/pink and the red on white were both used mostly for Pop music and there didn't seem to be any specific reason why one would be used over the other.
- Red / Green was for Christmas and they usually had small Christmas trees where the type of music is normally written.
- Green was for Irish music and these had shamrocks at each end where the type of music is normally written.
- Yellow (gold) was rarely used. I've only seen a few of them, they didn't have any music type written on them, and they were designed like yours. I'm not sure if they were associated with any style of music.
- Then there were special designs with pictures of the band or singer on the left and the titles on the right. I've also seen these with little cartoon type characters on them.
