PLEASE NOTE, FELLOW COLLECTORS, IF YOU BUY ANY FIVE ITEMS FROM MY STORE AT ONE TIME,EBAY AUTOMATICALLY DEDUCTS 20% FROM YOUR TOTAL PURCHASE PRICE.  IT IS THE LEAST I CAN DO FOR MY FELLOW COLLECTORS.  BY THE WAY, THIS WORKS NO MATTER HOW MANY AFTER FIVE YOU BUY, THEY ARE ALL TWENTY PERCENT OFF.  

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 time slots.

  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 Bob Kingsley 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 multiple interview segments. 

Some collect commercials especially old car commercials but certainly not limited to only those. 

 AND, these shows are in limited quantity. 

 They were pressed just for syndicated stations in the United States.  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.

Since many if not most radio stations just threw them away after airing because they could never be aired again due to the time limited commercial content. 

  SO, There are likely only a few of any given show still around 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 out 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. 

 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 over ten thousand 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 50'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.  

 OK guys and gals, here is a rare treat for you radio show fans.  I am listing some of my "COUNTRY COMMENTS" shows. 

It is a weekly lp show  in immaculate  condition looking like it was never played before and in fact it was probably played the day it aired and that's it. 

The show has its cue sheets with it in excellent condition.  The album cover is mostly excellent in condition considering these shows are over 30 years old.

 Now, as to the show itself. 

Each week there were presented interviews, exclusive and not found anywhere else, in daily segments.   the script of each interview was in the cue sheets so the local dj could do the lead in on their own as if they were doing the interviews themselves.  the interviews are pristine.     

  AND, you just cannot find these shows anymore.  This, as most all other shows, is no longer distributed except by digital download so there is no media available and in fact I don't have too many of them anyway because they are very hard to find.  

The lp in addition to being in new condition, is very attractive as seen in the listing picture and the lp cover is beautiful and in excellent condition. 

The shows aired on the MUTUAL BROADCASTING SYSTEM

  This show aired on the week of APRIL 18 1988 IT IS AS PICTURED AND IS IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION

  THE ARTISTS INTERVIEWED ON THESE SHOWS CAN BE SEEN IN THE LISTING PICTURES.  

  Remember, this is the original show sent for airing.  It is NOT an unauthorized copy but the Real McCoy!!!  

I personally guarantee that every radio show that I sell is the original show sent to stations.  

   You are truly buying a  show that will only increase in value and I am selling them at a price very close to what I paid for it. 

  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.  Think of what they will be worth in a few years!  (IF you wanted to sell.)  It is a great show and would be a valuable addition to your collection. 

 Good Luck and God Bless You.
