SO HERE IS THE BIG QUESTION: WHAT IS A RADIO SHOW? WHY COLLECT THEM? WHERE DO THEY COME FROM?
Well, those are good questions, especially if you have never known of them.
Radio Shows are syndicated productions by one of several large and small distributors who supply broadcast product to radio stations normally during weekends when the usual air personalities have a break.
Many air on Saturday or Sunday evenings or during overnight segments. They often feature some of the best known voices for their genre from across the country thus the Dick Clark's and Casey Kasem's and Rick Dees and Dick Bartley and so many others.
People collect them for various reasons.
Some just collect the series because they like it and want them all.
Some collect their favorite artists or genre of music. Rather than an album by the artist or a compilation bought at Wal Mart or downloaded through iTunes or wherever, they have a unique presentation of their favorite artist or music not available anywhere else and always with dj presentations which were very entertaining.
Some collect interviews with their favorite artists as most shows had interview segments.
Believe it or not, some collect commercials especially old car commercials but certainly not limited to only those.
AND, these shows are in limited quantity.
They were printed just for syndicated stations in the United States Many have just a few still in circulation. Some of the more popular shows may have as many as a few hundred of each week's show that survived but think about it. A few hundred for some 200 million Americans and millions of overseas collectors who look for unique presentations of their favorite artists or form of music is about as rare as rare can be.
AND they are increasingly hard to find.
They were first distributed on reel to reel tape if the show goes back that far into the 60's, then later on lp, later on CD and even later (after 2000 for most shows) on CDR. Now they are not available at all to collectors since they are distributed by digital download much like you get your music from iTunes.
These shows become rarer and rarer every day because the people who buy them hold on to them and the people who sell them, like me, are running out of them. My best contact for these shows is running very low and when he is gone I will be at the mercy of finding a good deal here and there but never from a regular source. The shows that you get now and hold on to will never decrease in value and only increase.
Even during the recession which is hopefully ending, the value of shows did not diminish much. The number bought diminished because people were afraid to spend their money and who blames them. But the prices did not decrease much and again are on the increase. I have prided myself since the start to provide the best and fairest cost with a no holds barred guarantee that you will be happy or I refund your money. I sell them for near what I bought them for. I give volume discounts and discount postage always. As the postal service increases their rates, my shipping rates over the years has decreased.
And, I have one of the biggest radio show libraries in the world consisting of many thousands of shows, so many that I don't even know all that I have and am sometimes amazed when I go to look for one show and find another that I did not realize I had.
Finally, it is Americana at its best.
Whether the show be from the 60's or 2000's, rock, countdown, oldies, country, classical, religious, jazz or big band, it is unique and home grown.
And you just can't find them anywhere.
Even record stores that still exist will rarely have any. Radio shows are wonderful representations of the real golden age of radio at least music wise. And every one you buy is an original, not a copy, not a remake - all are limited editions in the hundreds at most and most much less. Once you get hooked, like me, it is a love affair for life! Welcome to the Club!
IF YOU DO LIKE RADIO SHOWS FEATURING THE BEST MUSIC OF ALL TIME IN EVERY GENRE IMAGINABLE, YOU HAVE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE. I have one of the biggest collections in the world. They are all available to you for the asking. I only have time to list a fraction of my shows because I work full time and this is my hobby, but just know they are there! I give special discounts for bulk purchases of any show. You tell me what you want, I put up a Buy It Now Auction for you, and they quickly head your way!!!

OK guys and gals, in this outing, A RARE TREAT!!!!
I recently came across many of the old THUNDER ROAD SHOWS, ONE OF the MOST ENTERTAINING AND UNIQUE CONTEMPORARY COUNTRY SERIES OF ALL TIME BECAUSE IT INCLUDES BOTH THE BEST IN COUNTRY AND THE BEST IN RACING.
Every week this show provided TWO HOURS OF THE TOP COUNTRY SONGS AROUND AND THE GREATEST INTERVIEWS TOO PRESENTED IN A UNIQUE AND HIGH ENERGY. EACH SHOW ALSO INCLUDES EXTENDED INTERVIEWS WITH GREAT COUNTRY ARTISTS AND GREAT NASCAR DRIVERS.
IT IS NOT JUST THE MUSIC IN THIS SHOW IT IS THE ENERGY WITH WHICH IT IS PRESENTED. THIS SHOW WILL KEEP YOU MOVIN' FOR THE WHOLE TWO HOURS.
Each show is two hours on two CDs in new condition for ultimum fidelity. The show is among the best ever produced. They took no short cuts on this show. Each show comes with its their cue sheets in very good condition. Even the commercials are fun and take you back 15 years.
This show aired JULY 21, 2001.
Featured racing interviews featured on this show are RICKY RUDD AND DARRYL WALTRIP
Country artist interviews featured are with THE WARREN BROTHERS AND PATTY LOVELESS
Here are the songs you will hear:
Sweet Summer - Diamond Rio this Kiss - Faith Hill Ken Squire Inside Line Everywhere - Tim McGraw Austin - Blake Shelton The last Thing On My Mind - Patty Loveless I'm Just Talkin Bout Tonight - Toby Keith Grandpa Told Me So - Kenny Chesney Where I Come From - Alan Jackson Steve Richards Feature Part I I'm In A Hurry - Alabama Angels In Waiting - Tammy Cochran
When God Fearin Women - Martina McBride Rock My World - Brooks and Dunn Becca Walls Feature Blue - LeAnn Rimes I'm Already There - Lonestar I would have Loved You - Trisha Yearwood Paul Richards Feature Part II Love of a Woman - Travis Tritt Where does It Hurt - Warren Brothers there You Go Again - Kenny Rodgers Steve Waid's World When I Think About Angels - Jamie O'Neal the Best Day - George Strait and Where The Blacktop Ends - Keith Urban
Each show is a joy to behold and you can see in the listing how attractive they are. PLEASE REMEMBER, speaking of the listing picture, it is a GENERIC picture and not the show you are getting but it will look exactly the same.
You will thoroughly love these shows and I am so pleased to be able to offer them to you. Of course they were never offered to the general public and are no longer made anyway so they are extremely rare. Probably no more than 150 or so of every THUNDER ROAD show ever existed and of course many were just thrown away after airing since stations had no reason to keep them after they aired.
It is true Americana and you will never see them again.
AND, HERE'S ANOTHER EXTRA!!! I can attest for you that these shows were only played one time and then stored away until now. The friend of mine who allowed me access to these shows was the station engineer at a small station in Wisconsin. He was given these shows after broadcast in thanks for all the overtime engineering work that he did for the station for many years. They went directly from being played on air to him. He has stored them in plastic bins in his home since. I cannot give you any better guarantee than this. It is like picking the shows off the shelf from the factory.
Of course, I ship them to you in a secure mailer to ensure they will be as fresh and good looking when they come to your home as they are now. I am proud to offer you an opportunity to have some of these rare shows for your own collection. You will especially love them if you are a fan of contemporary country.
It is Americana that few people can own both because of their rariety and because people just don't know about them. You will get the perfect shows, in beautiful shape.
These are genuine collector's items that you will treasure and which will increase in value as all radio shows, especially the quality shows like THUNDER ROAD completely disappear from the market place or become too expensive to afford. As long as I have them, I will sell them for as reasonable a price as I can, even given the almost 25% of every purchase that Uncles EBay and Paypal keep for their very own.
The show comes with its original national commercials On this show you will hear, Fox Broadcasting Red Roof Inns A&E Television Miracle Gro Drug Free America and more
And if you don't like the national commercials (none of those boring local commercials are in the show), just flip to the next track and rejoin the show and all the great music. Many of my traders get my shows for the neat old commercials they collect.
Remember that this and all the radio music shows that you see on eBay are not just about the music - the music can be found anywhere. It is the mixture of great music and great announcing that makes it so entertaining. As well, it is a piece of radio and music history. It is a great show and would be a valuable addition to your collection.
As always, for U.S. buyers, I charge only $2.99 shipping on the first show you buy so the more you buy the more money you will save. For my international friends, I charge only for the heaviest show and all others, no matter how many, ship for NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE.
Good Luck and God Bless You.
