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 to air normally during weekends when the usual air personalities have a break.  Many air on Saturday or Sunday afternoon or evenings or during late night/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 these shows 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. 

 Many 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 couple hundred of each week's show that survived but think about it.  One or two 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. By the way, radio shows are highly sought after by collectors in Europe and Japan 

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.

  Now they are no longer available  to collectors at all 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.    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 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! 

Picture yourself back in the late 50's, 60's, even the 70's and 80'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.   

Most of you who know me,  collectors who have dealt with me over the years,  know that one of my favorite series of all time is this,  ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE'S 20TH ANNIVERSARY SALUTE, A THREE HOUR SPECIAL HOSTED BY SCOTT MUNI CONTAINING 30 CLASSIC ROCK HITS. 

 The show is THREE HOURS in length 

The series was produced by Rolling Stone Magazine Productions and was sent to radio stations.

It comes on THREE LP's in mint new condition, played only on the day of network broadcast and stored carefully since.  Since these shows are vintage 1987 that means that each is almost 20 years old and in new condition.

The cue sheets for hours two and three come with the show and are in good condition.  The cue sheet for hour one is missing.

All the  artists featured in this series helped define rock music through their work

  You will hear great music, interviews and stories about the artists  and their music. 

  The soundtrack of our lives were shaped by their music. These shows are masterpieces and belong in your collection!  

This show aired on the week of AUGUST 10, 1987.   IT WAS THE THIRD OF FOUR SEPARATE SHOWS HONORING THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF ROLLING STONE AND A MUST FOR YOUR COLLECTION.  

You can access the songs by looking on the cue sheets in the listing picture except for the hour three.                    

  Remember, when you buy this show you hear fascinating commentary on the artists and interviews you cannot find anywhere else. 

 Also, keep in mind that this and all the oldies 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 and Americana.  

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 because I tried to get the entire collection of this syndicated show.  

Most people even enjoy the national commercials that are included on the show because some 25 years later they sound good!  The majority of this show was sponsored by           Diet Coke,       Levis 501's          Nissan Motors     

Either way, it is a great show and would be a valuable addition to your collection. 

 As always, I charge only $2.99 shipping for US buyers and only for the  heaviest show you buy International buyers,  so the more you buy the more money you will save. 

Good Luck and God Bless You.
