NOW, THIS IS ONE OF THE ABSOLUTE NEATEST OLDIES RADIO SHOWS YOU WILL EVER HEAR.  IT INCLUDES ARTIST FEATURES, GREAT INTERVIEWS, AND GREAT FUN. 

 THE SHOW IS CALLED: "SOUNDTRACK OF THE 60's" WITH ORIGINAL HOST LEGENDARY DJ MURRY THE K. KAUFMAN (ALSO KNOWN AS THE FIFTH BEATLE BECAUSE OF HIS FRIENDSHIP WITH THE BEATLES) AND  AFTER THE FIRST YEAR, GARY OWENS OF LAUGH IN FAME

The show had its debut on June 7, 1980 and was hosted by legendary dj Murray The K Kaufman for its first 8 months.  Then on February 14, 1981, for unclear reasons, Gary Owens took over the show and hosted it from then on, almost until the last show aired on June 30, 1984.  (The last several shows were hosted by Charlie Van Dyke)

  It is unclear why the show lasted so relatively short a time as the format was amazing and all three of the dj's were among the tops in the country.  That there are only four years worth of shows make them especially rare.

 This show is one of the best packaged radio shows ever produced.

And each show features multiple Beatles hits.

 Cue sheets are in excellent near mint condition as pictured.

 This show is a classic and needs to be in your collection. 

There were no  national commercials on this show as the show was sold directly to affiliate radio stations who then sold their own local commercials

THIS SHOW  AIRED ON THE WEEKEND OF FEBRUARY 6 1982 AND WAS SHOW #K821-6

EACH SHOW CONTAINS SPECIAL FEATURES, THEMES AND MANY INTERVIEWS.  

SO HERE ARE THE BIG QUESTIONS IF YOU DO NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT RADIO SHOWS: 

 EXACTLY 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. 

First allow me tell you my own personal story of discovering the wonder of radio shows.

  I discovered radio shows quite by accident while reading one of my favorite (long since departed) magazines called "Discoveries" (It was later bought by the same company that publishes "Goldmine" which I personally always considered a lesser publication, but that is another story.

  This was before ebay became the driving force in radio show sales (and everything else) in the later 1990's.

 I was especially attracted in "Discoveries" to a two page (or more) spread in each issue by a guy called "The Old Hippie". 

 Let me tell you, the Old Hippie had it all.  He was a real pioneer.  Way before anyone knew what radio shows even were let alone that they could be bought as rarities, he had the market cornered.

Most shows that he advertised were way beyond my budget but I drooled over those pages every issue and once in awhile I could afford one or two. 

 Now, I have attempted in my own humble way to take on the mantle of "The Old Hippie".  I have listed over 11,000 unique radio shows of all genres for you all to drool over, and most at prices, hopefully, that collectors can better afford!  I want to make available to collectors what I could not afford and especially in these days of higher prices and lesser availability.

Radio shows are harder and harder to find in quantity and the prices for the ones still out there just go higher and higher as they disappear from the market.  However, because of my large presence on eBay, I am always being contacted with selling offers, some of which I take advantage of and some I have to pass on because of the prices. I have found that by buying in bulk, even when many or most of the shows are lesser known but still amazing shows, I can offer the best prices on all titles.

 So, again, what is a radio show?  

  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 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 often with dj presentation which is very entertaining. 

 Some collect interviews with their favorite artists as most shows had 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 affiliate stations and many have just a few 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 350 million Americans and millions of overseas collectors who look for unique presentations of their favorite artists or form of music. 

Many radio stations just tossed them away after airing because they could never be aired again due to the time limited commercials and the limited storage space at most radio stations (believe me I know, I hosted a nightly oldies shows  at one for over seven glorious years!)

SO 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 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.

  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 fifteen 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 limited editions in the hundreds at most and many much less.  Once you get hooked, like me, it is a love affair for life!    Welcome to the Club! 

     This show, for all you vinyl lovers, and there are a bunch out there judging by the number of you that have responded to my rare and old vinyl radio show sales, is a rare vinyl that you will rarely find on eBay ever.     

         Remember, when you buy this show, not only will you own the tunes but also interspersed between songs is fascinating commentary on the artists and songs and wonderful interview segments and other features.  

  Also, keep in mind that this and all  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  

 Most people even enjoy the national commercials that are included on the show because some 40 years later they sound fresh and bring back more innocent time!    It is a great show and would be a valuable addition to your collection

Good Luck and God Bless You.
