PLEASE NOTE THAT THE LISTING PICTURE IS A GENERIC PICTURE AND NOT OF THE SHOW YOU ARE LOOKING AT.  SINCE ALL RADIO SHOWS OF THE SAME TITLE LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME, IT MAKES SENSE TO LIST THEM USING ONE PICTURE SINCE ALL THE DETAILS OF WHAT IS ON THE SHOW IS LISTED BELOW FOR YOUR USE.      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 printed 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.  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 gone 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.  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, 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 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!       One of the greatest rock music radio shows of all time was Dick Bartley's Solid Gold Scrapbook. NOW BEFORE I START, NOTE ON BAY THAT THESE SHOWS ARE SOLD BY VARIOUS SELLERS FOR $60--$80 EACH.  I WOULDN'T MIND GETTING THAT MUCH.  WELL, ON SECOND THOUGHT I WOULD FEEL GUILTY.  THEY ARE NOT WORTH THAT MUCH.  MY PRICES ARE VERY REASONABLE AND ARE ABOUT WHAT I PAID FOR THEM 25 YEARS AGO AND THEY HAVE BEEN LOVINGLY STORED IN AIR CONDITIONED NON SMOKING PLACES SINCE.  DON'T PAY MORE THAN YOU NEED TO.    This was Dick Bartley's first venture in radio syndication and it launched his already successful dj career to the next level. Dick was one of those famous dj's that made himself known locally and in big cities. Then the syndication route opened up and he was in the right place at the right time. RKO General hired Dick to host one of its syndicated programs, Solid Gold Scrapbook. it was first a two hour weekly program and each show focused on the date in rock history matching that date. Each segment took a different year matching that date and Dick played the top several songs of that date. Later when RKO was forced to sell his radio business, United Stations became the owner of its shows and expanded Dick's show to a five hour a week show with stations either running an hour a day or five hours on a weekend day. The theme of the show shifted too with a different theme every day instead of just looking at the date in rock history (although that remained a popular feature and at least one hour of the five each week included that feature.) The show was enormously popular. Dick remained with the show until June 1988 when he left over a contract dispute. He left behind a four plus year legacy of the show. Dick worked for Mutual Broadcasting and Westwood One for a few years and then settled down with ABC for almost 25 years of his weekly American Gold Show. He now is back with United Stations again hosting his newly named American Gold show. Meanwhile, Solid Gold Scrapbook continued for three and a half more years first with host Mr. Music Norm N Nite and finally with Dave charity, both veterans of the radio business. It aired its final show in December 1991, a victim of the lessening interest in oldies radio and the demographic data that ruled whether a show would make it or not. Oldies radio attracted a large audience but not in the right demographic range. While Dick Bartley's new American Gold show adapted by enlarging the oldies format into the seventies, eighties and even nineties, The dawn of rock 1955-1964 and the British Invasion from 1964 through the 60's increasingly got lost except for the #1 songs of those years which are heard over and over. However, through ebay collectors and lovers of early rock can continue to enjoy these great oldies over and over when buying these valuable pieces of Americana for their own. These shows are priceless heritages of our lives, true Americana. The show comes on one LP in new condition probably played once on the day of its airing. It comes with its cue sheets in good condition. The cue sheets lists every song played separated into the segments of the shows. The national commercials are also included and listed. Local time for local spots and commercials was allowed following the national commercials but not included on the record.
