PLEASE NOTE THAT THE LISTING PICTURE IS OF A GENERIC SHOW AND NOT THE ACTUAL SHOW YOU ARE BIDDING ON.  IT IS EASIER TO LIST A SAMPLE PICTURE LIKE THIS SINCE ALL RADIO SHOWS LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME EXCEPT FOR THE DATE OF THE SHOW.  BUT I WANT YOU TO SEE WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE.      

 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 pressed 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 couple hundred of each week's show that survived but think about it.  200 at most 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.   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 (over 3100 in my store and another three or four thousand I have not had time to add yet - I try to add a few every day).  Plus I buy in bulk whenever I can although those days are rapidly ending as the number of shows on the market decrease.  I have 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, radio shows represent 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 LIKE RADIO SHOWS FEATURING THE BEST MUSIC OF ALL TIME IN EVERY GENRE IMAGINABLE, YOU HAVE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE.  Here are some of the great series I have in LP or CD:  Dick Clark's Rock Roll and Remember, Flashback, Casey's Top 40 or Top 20, AT40, AT20 or AT10 with Casey, AT40 with Ryan Seacrest, Dick Clark's Countdown America, Dick Clark's National Music Survey, Cousin Brucie, Live in the 60's with the Real Don Steele,  The Classics, Blues Deluxe, CMT Weekly Country Countdown, Bob Kingsley's Country Top 40, Weekly Country Music Countdown, Solid Gold Scrapbook, Hard Drive , Pile Driver, Back Traxx, Beatle Years,  Crook and Chase Country Countdown, Bill Cody's Country Oldies, Jukebox Explosion, Rise Up Country with John Ritter, Urban Mixx, Street Heat, Powerline, Good Time Oldies Magazine, Tom Joyner Mike Harvey's Super Gold, Tom Kent From the Basement 70's show, House of Blues, Leeza Gibbons Hollywood Confidential,  Leeza Gibbons countdown shows, and so many more it would take the rest of the page to name. Besides the two music rooms in my house, I also have a 10 x 20 air conditioned storage shed filled to the brim with great shows. I CERTAINLY 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.

Picture yourself back in the  70's, 80's and even the 90's.  You were glued to your transistor radio listening to the country top 40 presented by your local radio station.  You had that radio glued to your ear or connected with the little earphone jack that immediately broke.  Your local dj was great.  He knew the music.  He had the gift of talking which rarely occurs anymore.  You loved the presentation of the music as much as the sounds.  You liked the station jingles. And on weekends when the local dj's had off, you listened to either taped shows they did during the week to be played on the weekend or a syndicated radio show featuring one of the greats.  It was the golden age of music.  Music was king and the dj's were just as popular.  You can relive those days whether you grew up then or just wish you had on only a handful of oldies shows.  THIS IS ONE OF THEM. 

OK guys and gals, A REAL TREAT!!!  I am beginning to list more of my GREAT FLASHBACK SHOWS.  This is probably the best classic rock show ever to air anywhere.  And, while the music can be found anywhere, this show presents music in such creative sets it will please and amaze.  You will hear all the best in classic rock for TWO hours on each show, ARRANGED IN GREAT THEMES.  Host BILL ST. JAMES, the host from the beginning of the show in the late 80's when still on lp. is a great dj and every show has  ONE one hour theme and ONE HOUR HAS THREE or FOUR mini themes. 

The show comes on 2 CD's (TWO hours) in perfect condition looking just like they were just pressed and played only once, the day they were aired. They come along with their cue sheets in excellent condition. (The listing picture is a generic picture of the series and not this show however they all look the same.)  The CD's are quite attractive with The FLASHBACK logo across the top in bright colors as seen in the listing picture.  They were produced as a quality item even though they were pressed for this single playing on the broadcast date.  These CD's were played only once, the day they aired. 

One of the most enjoyable and unpredictable features of this great show is that many times during each theme snippets of commercials, news items, interviews, movie soundtracks, tv soundtracks and other entertainment related to the theme is intermixed with the music in perfect relation to the theme.  It makes the hour all that much more enjoyable. 

AND, following the last hour are approximately ten tracks of bonus theme material including collages and interviews and entertainment bits all in the clear which make them great for download into your personal collection AND a FLASHBACK STARPACK , a bonus track containing a collage of one group's major work in mix form.  THIS IS ONE QUALITY SHOW AND BELONGS IN YOUR COLLECTION!!! 

Please note that this the TWO hour version of the Flashback show.  The show came in two and four hour versions depending on what version the stations wanted.  The two hour version contains the first and last hour of the week's four hour version.  The cue sheets come with the two hour show just as with the four hour version along with all the extras on the last page of the cue sheet.Of course this two hour version is more economical and is a great show and a great buy for your collection but both versions are readily available in my ebay store. 

This week's show is #851 in the series and aired on APRIL 21, 2003. 

The themes for this show were:  THE DOCTOR (IS IN) for the FIRST hour, AND for the SECOND hour, NEWS    1987    INSTRUMENTALS. Some themes contain music sets of more than 20 straight minutes of great music FROM THE BEST IN CLASSIC ROCK FROM THE BEST ARTISTS AND GROUPS OF THE ROCK ERA.

REMEMBER THERE WILL ALSO BE SPECIAL FEATURES AND INTERVIEWS ON EVERY SHOW:  THE DOCTOR (IS IN):  Double Vision- Foreigner    I Won't Back Down- Tom Petty    Behind Blue Eyes- Who    She's Waiting- Eric Clapton    Gimme 3 Steps- Lynyrd Skynyrd    Go Your Own Way- Fleetwood Mac    Bad To The Bone- George Thorogood    Carry On Wayward Son- Kansas    Jumpin' Jack Flash- Rolling Stones    Barracuda- Heart.   Then in the last hour:  NEWS: Hurts So Good- John Mellencamp    Rebel Rebel- David Bowie    Ramble On- Led Zeppelin    Long Train Runnin- Doobie Brothers    1987:  Learning To Fly- Pink Floyd    Rag Doll- Aerosmith    I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For- U2   AND  INSTRUMENTALS:  Jessica- Allman Brothers    Frankenstein- Edgar Winter Group.

This show needs to be in your collection.  Get them while you can!  Like all other quality shows, these shows are no longer available.  Collectors can no longer get their hands on this quality material so the ones that are available keep going up and up in value. Don't worry, though, I will always sell my shows at reasonable prices.  I am a collector too and know how hard it is to find a good deal anymore.  These shows are super fun and super rare.

They are distributed by ABC Broadcasting and are in NEW CONDITION, PLAYED ONLY ON THE DAY OF NETWORK BROADCAST.  CUE SHEETS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AS WELL. 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.  I am proud to offer you an opportunity to have some of these rare old shows for your own collection. 

It is an amazing show!  This is the genuine original show that was sent to the radio station 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.  It just doesn't get much better than that, music fans!!!! 

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.  You just aren't going to find these shows around very much longer as everything is now digitized and downloaded for play and shows are no longer sent out on CD's.   Think of what they will be worth in a few years!  (IF you wanted to sell.)  I am selling to share with other music lovers what I was able to get at a reasonable price. It is a great show and would be a valuable addition to your collection.

As always, for U.S. and International buyers, I charge only shipping on the first show you buy so the more you buy the more money you will save. 

Good Luck and God Bless You.
