PLEASE NOTE THAT THE LISTING PICTURE IS A GENERIC PICTURE .  THE DETAILS OF THE SHOW ARE LISTED BELOW.  SINCE ALL RADIO SHOWS OF THE SAME TITLE LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME, IT SAVES TIMES AND COLLECTORS CAN BETTER SEE THE SONGS ON THE SHOW IF I LIST THEM RATHER THAN HAVING TO LOOK AT THE CUE SHEETS.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT IF YOU BUY ANY FIVE ITEMS FROM MY STORE, THE SIXTH OF EQUAL OR LESSER VALUE IS ABSOLUTELY FREE.  JUST EMAIL ME THROUGH THE EBAY MAIL SYSTEM WITH YOUR CHOICE OF FREE SHOW.  IT WILL SAVE YOU 20% PLUS I WILL SHIP YOUR ORDER FOR FREE.

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. 

 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 syndicated stations and many stations just tossed them away after playing that week's edition since with the commercials it was time limited programming so most  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 to start with 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. 

  Many if not most stations just threw them away after airing because the commercial content of the shows dated them and they could not be aired again. They took up a lot of space in radio stations that were normally pretty tight on space anyway so out they went!  There are likely just a few left of any week's shows. 

 So 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 out and I am  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. 

  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 way over ten thousand shows not yet listed, 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! 

  NOW, Picture yourself back in the  50'S, 60'S AND EARLY 70's.  You were glued to your transistor radio listening to the EARLY ROCK 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 music.  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.

  AND, that great style is continued on a handful of present day shows.  

  THIS IS ONE OF THEM.  

CRUISIN AMERICA WITH COUSIN BRUCIE! 

 I can guarantee to you that these shows were played only on the day of their airing.  I know this because I got them all from a special source who was the station engineer and was given the shows in thanks for all the work that he did for the station.  They have been with him until now when he allowed me to have access to them.  These shows are as mint and as beautiful as you can get and they can be yours. 

SO, what exactly are you looking at?  ONE OF THE MOST CLASSIC EARLY ROCK N ROLL SYNDICATED RADIO SHOWS THAT EVER AIRED. 

  CRUISIN AMERICA WITH COUSIN BRUCIE FEATURED NOT ONLY THE BEST MUSIC FROM THE EARLY ROCK ERA BUT PRESENTED BY ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST RENOWNED DISC JOCKEYS - COUSIN BRUCIE MORROW WHO REIGNED IN NEW YORK ON WABC. 

 Cousin Brucie started his career on 1010 WINS New York in 1959.  At that time, WINS along with WMGM were the top rock n roll stations in New York City. (If you were there you remember the jingle "1010 WINS New York")  In 1960 he switched to AM 770, WABC, the most powerful radio outlet on the East Coast.  WINS counter programmed with Murray The K but he was no challenge to Cousin Brucie!  

  From 7 - 9 every evening, Cousin Brucie reigned!    

  In 1965, Cousin Brucie introduced the Beatles during the first of their historic Shea Stadium Concerts. 

 Morrow also had a close relationship with Elvis Presley. 

 Cousin Brucie was at WABC for 13 years and 4,014 broadcasts when he jumped to WNBC for three years.  In 1982 he returned to the airwaves on WCBS-FM in New York, remaining there until 2005.  Shortly after, he joined Sirius Satellite Radio and remains there today. 

 This show, Cruisin America began in 1986 and continued weekly until 1992 with a weekly three hour oldies trip through the early rock era along with special guests who would join Cousin Brucie in studio.  These guests were not only from music but the  entertainment world as well.  His connections ran across the entertainment spectrum. 

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

 The album cover is beautiful as you can see in the picture. 

 The Cue sheets are the best quality of any show I have ever seen.  They are in full color and are in a packet of seven pages containing not only the song and commercial list but the promos used on each show and the information for stations that they needed to air it. 

 This show is a classic and needs to be in your collection.  Whenever I list these shows they sell immediately because they are so rare and of such high quality. 

 The CBS Radio Network took pride in its syndicated shows and it shows in the production values of this one.  

          THIS SHOW AIRED ON MARCH 9, 1990.

These shows are disappearing from the market because they are no longer available.  The lp shows have not been made since the early 90's and they have the truest fidelity as you know if you are an audiophile.  Shows today are transmitted to stations through digital download so they are no longer available to collectors.  These are the last.   

Remember there is one shipping charge for US buyers no matter how many you buy.  For my International friends, there is also one shipping charge except for multi lp albums which add only $8 for each one to your shipping, a huge savings.  All other shows ship for no extra charge, lp or cd.

  Good Luck and God Bless You.
