This show is called GARY OWENS MUSIC WEEKEND

It was a WEEKLY SPECIAL PRESENTED BY THE DIR (AMERICAN BROADCASTING) RADIO NETWORKS

Each show had different themes, features, and mini concerts.

IT IS A VERY RARE SERIES RARELY SEEN ON EBAY

DIR's BROADCASTING MUSIC WEEKEND first with GARY OWENS AND LATER WITH BILL NEAL.

Bill took over for Gary Owens with the first July show in 1988. Some of the format of Gary's remained the same and some changed.

The mini concert segment was expanded. This is a live event and you are in the front row!!

A guest host in the studio joined Bill for an hour of the show.

An extended phone call interview with a famous artist occurred during the show

There were numerous interviews throughout the show

New show features included:

A featured year montage of songs, a feature song of that year, '45's in the attic', 'whatever happened to' 'Then and Now' with an original hit or artist and a later hit from that artist, 'cover to cover' with an original hit and its later remake by another artist

The show aired for FOUR hours weekly on the DIR Radio Networks

Each show contained songs from the golden age of rock and included some current hits as well.

This show was absolutely unbelievable and now you can own one or more for yourself. It came as pictured with four beautifully decorated LP's WITH their the cue sheets in excellent condition.

These shows are very rare

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. Each show comes from my personal collection.

Stations could use the show anytime during that weekend and then if any were left over they became available to us all to enjoy. 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.

The show also comes with its original national commercials and none of the boring local commercials everyone hates!

On this show you will hear ones like these:

Navy Moments Halls Warner Brothers Polaroid Wrigley AND MORE!

So, anyway, what exactly is a radio show? Why should you want them?

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 Sundays or less often during overnight segments or weekdays.

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 , they have a unique presentation of their favorite artist or music not available anywhere else and always with dj comments which were very entertaining.

Some collect interviews with their favorite artists as most shows had interview segments which are always unique and rare.

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 affiliate stations in the United States.

Many have just a few still in circulation.

Some of the more popular shows may have as few as a couple hundred of each week's show pressed but think about it. A couple hundred for some 350 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.

This show itself was only ever sent to the top 175 Metro markets. Smaller markets had to take the satellite feed once it became available. So at the very most there were only 175 copies of each show EVER. How do you compute rareness. 175 copies for the whole United States market and 40 years ago or more means that could possibly not be ANY more of these shows and at the very most there are 175

How many survived as did the ones I have is anyone's guess.

This is because most stations just threw these away after network broadcast since they could not be aired again because of the dated commercial content and most stations had limited storage space. (Believe me I know I worked at one!)

So it is likely that very few still exist and they are increasingly hard to find.

They were first distributed on reel to reel tape or 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 through digital download since about 2010

These shows become rarer and rarer every day because the people who buy them hold on to them.

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 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 have decreased.

And, I have one of the biggest radio show libraries in the world consisting of over fifteen thousand unique 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 music radio.

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, like this special show, much less. Once you get hooked, like me, it is a love affair for life! Welcome to the Club!

REMEMBER, These are the genuine original shows that were 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.

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 in themes 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.) 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 cd or single lp show you buy so the more you buy the more money you will save. (International buyers pay for the first multi lp show and an additional $10 for each multi lp show to help with the excessive shipping costs for overseas shipments. Otherwise all items ship for no extra charge)

Good Luck and God Bless You

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE LISTING PICTURE IS NOT THE ACTUAL SHOW THAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT. SINCE ALL THE SHOWS OF A RADIO SHOW SERIES LOOK EXACTLY ALIKE EXCEPT FOR THE DATE OF THE SHOW AND THE CUE SHEETS, IT IS EASIER TO LIST JUST A REPRESENTATIVE SHOW AND FILL IN ALL THE NECESSARY INFORMATION BELOW. THANK YOU!

AND IF YOU BUY ANY FIVE ITEMS FROM MY STORE, THE SIXTH OF EQUAL OR LESSER VALUE IS ABSOLUTELY FREE. JUST MESSAGE ME THROUGH THE EBAY MAIL SYSTEM WITH YOUR CHOICE AND IT WILL COME RIGHT ALONG WITH YOUR OTHERS.

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.

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. Since most of these artists are no longer with us, these interviews are invaluable and lend a personal touch to each show.

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 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.

PLUS, many if not most stations simply threw the shows away after airing since they could not be aired again due to the commercial content and most stations had limited space in which to store shows.

So, there may be only one or two of any given show out there and many are in collector collections and cannot be pried loose!

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 totally out of shows so I am 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 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. Once you get hooked, like me, it is a love affair for life! Welcome to the Club!

Picture yourself back in the late 50's or 60's, even the 70's. You were glued to your transistor radio listening to the 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 rock. 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. DIR'S MUSIC WEEKEND with BILL NEAL.

Bill took over for Gary Owens with the first July show in 1988. Some of the format of Gary's remained the same and some changed.

The mini concert segment was expanded. This is a live event and you are in the front row!!

A guest host in the studio joined Bill for an hour of the show.

Each show contained songs from the golden age of rock and included some current hits as well. It is a rare show and belongs in your collection.

This show was absolutely unbelievable and now you can own one or more for yourself. It came as pictured (it is a generic picture and not of this particular show but they all look the same) with four beautifully decorated LP's WITH their the cue sheets in excellent condition.

These shows are very rare

This show is #13 and aired on SEPTEMBER 25,1988.

The featured artist live in mini concert was THE ONE AND ONLY MICHAEL MCDONALD!

HERE IS WHAT YOU GET IN THIS GREAT OUTING OF THE MUSIC WEEKEND!!!!

The show also comes with its original national commercials and none of the boring local commercials everyone hates!

On this show you will hear ones like these:

Navy Moments Halls Warner Brothers Polaroid Wrigley AND MORE!

Some people buy these shows for their commercial collections but if you don't like them, just skip to the next track and they are gone!

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. buyers, I charge only shipping on the first show you buy so the more you buy the more money you will save. For my international friends, I charge shipping for the first show bought and every other show in the same package ships for ONLY $8 FOR EACH ADDITIONAL MULTI LP SHOW and no extra cost for any other cd or lp radio show. This is how I try to counter the terribly high shipping prices that recently took a huge hike.

Good Luck and may God richly bless you always and forever.
