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 wherever, 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.  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 and were to be destroyed after broadcast and not sold.  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 200 million Americans and millions of overseas collectors who look for unique presentations of their favorite artists or form of music.  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 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!    SO,    Hello Again, friends of great music!    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 not find on eBay ever.   This show is brought to you by your favorite Postal Bear who delivers perfectly every time, and his friends!    It is called COUNTRY CLOSEUP  and aired on the Narwood Productions, Inc.  Entertainment Network.  It was an enormously popular show in its day.  It was a one hour show and featured THE GREAT COUNTRY AND POP ARTIST GLEN CAMPBELL HOSTING ONE COUNTRY ARTIST EACH WEEK FOR AN HOUR TRIBUTE WITH THE ARTIST IN STUDIO AND EVERY SONG DURING THE HOUR A SONG MADE FAMOUS BY THE FEATURED ARTIST.  NEVER HAS THERE BEEN A SHOW LIKE THIS.  MANY HAD FEATURED GUESTS WHO PRESENTED THEIR SONGS ALONG WITH OTHERS BY OTHER ARTISTS BUT THIS SHOW WAS EXCULSIVELY ONE ARTIST PRESENTING HIS OR HER SONGS AND NONE OTHERS.  IT IS AN HOUR TRIBUTE TO ALL YOUR FAVORITE ARTISTS AND ALL PRESENTED BY ONE OF THE GREATEST TALENTS OF OUR GENERATION, GLEN CAMPBELL WHO HOSTED HIS OWN POPULAR TV SHOW FOR YEARS IN THE 60'S AND 70'S.     The interaction between Glen and his guest added to the specialness of this hour show.   It comes with its cue sheet in excellent condition and the vinyl disc itself is immaculate  like new.  This show probably was played on the day it aired and not since, THIRTY years later.      Each show contained from 11 to 13 tunes WITH ALL SORTS OF STORIES ABOUT THE SONG AND THE ARTIST DEVELOPED DURING THE RAPPORT BETWEEN GLEN AND HIS FEATURED ARTIST.  It is an enthralling hour that will captivate you.  You will be disappointed when it is over and want even more! THIS WEEK'S GUEST WITH GLEN WAS THE LEGENDARY LEE GREENWOOD     This show aired the week of JANUARY 9, 1983.        Here are the songs that you will hear on this great hour of music AND THE BEST INTERVIEWS YOU WILL EVER HEAR !                           Somebody's Gonna Love You                        She's Lying           Love Won't Let Us Say Goodbye          The Wind Beneath My /wings           Ring On Her Finger Time On Her Hands           Ain't No Trick           A Love Song           IOU,                  It Turns Me Inside Out        Going Going  Gone      and     Thank You For Changing My Life                               It is a great show.         It is a great hour.  The music is GREAT!        You will love this show and it belongs in your collection.    What a show!           It is a great variety of music along with interviews and fun facts.    How can you beat that!!!!!!   You will super great tunes and the best part is that you can hear them again and again, over and over,  whenever you want.          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.    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 20 years later they sound good!                                       Included  on this show   are         Wall Street Journal             US Olympic Coins                                          and more.  You can see by these commercials that the show attracted a great demographic.     Some people buy the shows for the commercials  they collect!  Either way, it is a great show and would be a valuable addition to your collectionGood Luck and God Bless You.
