SO HERE ARE THE BIG QUESTIONS IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT:  

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.  

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 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 of course shows with lesser syndication were pressed in even fewer quantities. 

Many were just tossed away after airing because they would not be aired again and most radio stations had limited storage (believe me I know; I work at one!)

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 of shows so  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 have actually significantly 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 or 60's, even the 70'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. 

IT IS CALLED 'THE BRITISH INVASION" and aired on the DIR/ABC RADIO NETWORK

The show was pressed in 1987 for the July 4 weekend as a weekend special  and contains every significant British invasion release along with lots of rare cuts and interviews.  It is one of the most comprehensive one time British invasion collection ever pressed and there is no show that is so exquisitely decorated and presented.  There has never been a radio show like this one

PLEASE NOTE THAT EBAY DID NOT ALLOW ENOUGH PICTURES TO SHOW YOU ALL THE CUE SHEETS BUT THERE ARE ENOUGH TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA AND ALL ARE PRESENT.  I CAN ALWAYS EMAIL YOU THE REST IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM.

It contains 14 lp's in mint new condition with the packet of cue sheets.   There are countless interviews throughout each hour of the 12 hour special.   Remember also the two promo lp's that come with the package 

It is a rare show that you will not find anywhere else and is my only copy.  It has been lovingly displayed in my personal collection for over 20 years.

This is the original show sent for airing.  It is NOT an unauthorized copy but the Real McCoy!!! 

I personally guarantee that every radio show that I sell is the original show sent to stations.  Each show comes from my personal collection over ten thousand radio shows of every genre.

You are truly buying a  show that will only increase in value and I am selling them at a price very close to what I paid for it. 

The show also comes with its sponsoring commercials; many collectors look for their favorite commercials from back in the day!

Remember that this and all the radio music shows that you see on eBay  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 and music  history.  You just aren't going to find these shows around very much longer as everything is now digitized and downloaded for play and shows are no longer sent out on CD's.  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.  It is a great show and would be a valuable addition to your collection.  

As always, for U.S. buyers, I charge only shipping on the first show you buy so the more you buy the more money you will save.  For my international friends, I charge shipping for the heaviest show bought and every other show in the same package ships for free except for multi lp shows which add ONLY $8 FOR EACH ADDITIONAL MULTI LP SHOW and NO EXTRA SHIPPING CHARGE FOR SINGLE LP'S OR CD SETS.  This is how I try to counter the terribly high shipping prices that recently took a huge hike.  

Good Luck and may God richly bless you always and forever
