HI GUYS AND GALS, IF YOU ARE A FAN OF ROCK AND ROLL FROM THE EARLY DAYS OF ROCK, YOU WILL LOVE THIS CLASSIC SHOW 'DICK CLARK'S ROCK ROLL AND REMEMBER'. PLEASE READ ON FOR MORE DETAILS ABOUT THIS VERY SPECIAL SHOW AND SERIES!
GREETINGS ONE AND ALL AND WELCOME TO KEITH'S KOLLECTABLES!

ROCK ROLL AND REMEMBER STARRING DICK CLARK WAS A WEEKLY FOUR HOUR RADIO SHOW FOR AFFILIATE RADIO STATIONS FROM THE UNITED STATIONS RADIO NETWORK, PARTIALLY OWNED BY DICK CLARK HIMSELF. IT IS ONE OF THE LONGEST RUNNING OLDIES SERIES ON RADIO THAT CONTINUED AFTER HIS PASSING USING SEGMENTS FROM PAST SHOWS WITH A NEW HOST.
IT WAS UNIQUE AMONG RADIO SHOWS BECAUSE IT WAS DICK CLARK, PROBABLY THE BEST KNOWN AND MOST POPULAR DJ OF ALL TIME AND FOREVER 'AMERICA'S TEENAGER'.
EACH DICK CLARK SHOW HAD AN ARTIST FEATURE THAT RAN THROUGH THE ENTIRE FOUR HOURS, TWO SEGMENTS OF THE FIVE IN EACH HOUR.
THERE WAS ALSO A YEAR TRIBUTE ON EACH SHOW THAT RAN THROUGH THE FOUR HOURS. EACH SHOW CONTAINED MULTIPLE INTERVIEWS AND SPECIAL FEATURES.
WHOLE SHOW SEGMENTS WERE DEVOTED TO THEMES SUCH AS LAST HITS, NEVER A NUMBER ONE HIT, ONE HIT WONDERS, TOP MALE ARTISTS, TOP FEMALE ARTISTS, GIRLS NAMES, BOY NAMES, TRIOS, DUOS, SUMMER HITS AND MORE. EACH SHOW HAD DIFFERENT THEMES
TWO AMERICAN BANDSTAND FEATURED SEGMENTS WERE IN EACH SHOW WITH DICK REMINISING ABOUT ALL THE GREAT EARLY YEARS OF BANDSTAND.
THE SONGS WERE ALL WOVEN TOGETHER IN THEMES ON EACH SEGMENT OF THE SHOW COMPRISING APPROXIMATELY 4 SEGMENTS EACH HOUR FOR A TOTAL OF ABOUT 12 SEGMENTS FOR THE ENTIRE SHOW
ANOTHER SPECIAL PART OF EACH SHOW WAS THAT DICK INCLUDED BOTH THE EARLY ROCK SONGS FROM THE 50'S, ALONG WITH THE GREAT 60'S AND THE EARLY 70'S. MOST OLDIES SHOWS ABANDONED THE DAWN OF ROCK AND FOCUSED ON THE 60'S AND 70'S (AND LATER DECADES AS THE YEARS WENT BY)
EACH SHOW COMES ON FOUR NICELY DECORATED CDS, MANY IN THEIR ORIGINAL PRESENTATION BOXES
THIS SHOW AIRED ON JUNE 1, 1991 AND WAS SHOW #486
YOU WILL EVEN ENJOY THE NATIONAL COMMERCIALS AFTER 32+ YEARS. FUNNY HOW WE HATED THEM BACK THEN BECAUSE WE WANTED TO GET BACK TO THE SHOW BUT NOW EVEN THOSE DREADED COMMERCIALS BRING BACK FOND MEMORIES. SOME EVEN COME FROM COMPANIES NO LONGER AROUND. ON THIS SHOW YOU WILL HEAR FROM SEA BREEZE, SEARS, BACARDI, MICHELIN, AMANA APPLIANCES
SO HERE IS THE BIG QUESTION IF YOU DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT RADIO SHOWS:
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 mornings, afternoons or evenings or less often on weekdays 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 or downloaded from wherever, they have a unique presentation of their favorite artist or music not available anywhere else and always with dj comments which were very entertaining.
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 many as 175 of each week's show pressed but in reality there were far fewer of each presentation because most radio stations threw them away after broadcast because they could never be played on the air again due to the national commercial limitations. For some shows, there could be as few as 5 or 10 in existence.
This show itself was only broadcast live and streamed on the Tune In app and the station website. Only the highest fidelity WAV recordings from the soundboard are available, and are playable on any device
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!
Also, keep in mind that this and all the music radio shows 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 history. You just aren't going to find these shows anymore. 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; in fact, believe it or not, I paid a lot more than you will for most of these shows than you will.
As always, I charge only shipping on the first show you buy for US buyers , so the more you buy the more money you will save.
For overseas buyers, contact me before purchase if you plan to buy more than one show so I can help you save on shipping charges.
Good Luck and God Bless You.
