JOHN DENVER

"2nd Radio Show"

RARE PROMOTIONAL LP

Plus we're also including this LP on CD!

This 1975 “2nd Radio Show” is the second of the three promotional “Radio Show” albums recorded by John.  These albums were distributed to radio stations and the format is casual with John telling great stories about the songs that are played.  In this 2nd Radio Show...

JD starts out by telling us that he’s recording this from his home in Aspen and how he is planning to go fishing soon.  He talks about how much these “Radio Shows” mean to  him and we then hear the first song, “Back Home Again.”

He then talks about going back home when he was a kid and tells the story of “Grandma’s Feather Bed,” which is then played.

He then speaks of Annie and what she means to him and we hear “Annie’s Song” followed by “Thank God I’m A Country Boy.”

John then talks about his days on the farm in Oklahoma and his Uncle Dean for whom he wrote the song “Matthew,” which is played.

This is followed by a very nice story about how he came to write the beautiful song “Eclipse” while staying at the Universal Sheraton Hotel in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles (while performing at the Universal Amphitheater).

We then hear “It’s Up to You” followed by “On the Road” with a story about what being on the road means to John.

Next up is “Cool An’ Green An’ Shady” followed by JD telling us about a song he wrote for a Disney film.  We then hear “Sweet Surrender.”

John then proceeds to juggle!  He wants us to use our imagination, and on that note, plays “The Music Is You” about how music creates pictures that tell stories.

(we're also including a couple of great photos of JD juggling!)

JD wraps up this second Radio Show by telling us the story of how he had lost his 1910 Gibson guitar, which had been given to him by his beloved Grandma Swope when he was just 12 years old.  It disappeared for 4 or 5 years and then he found it.  He then proceeds to sing the beautiful song “This Old Guitar” live.  Really fabulous.

Record is 50 minutes in length and is in very good condition with only one visible scratch on the "A" side and that's why we're starting the price lower than we normally would for such a rare record.  Front cover is in very good condition and plain back cover shows some signs  of wear.
