SO HERE ARE THE BIG QUESTIONS:  WHAT ARE RADIO SHOWS?  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 many if not most radio stations just tossed them away after airing because they could never be aired again because of the dated commercial content.  

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 completely depleted from his shows so I am now 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 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! 

OK guys and gals, in this outing, A RARE TREAT!!!! 

I recently came across many of the old ELVIS HOUR shows.

This show was #3 and aired during 1986.

The theme for this show is "1969" and features guests  

 There is no show date since stations, unlike other radio shows, bought the show to air each week on their own schedule.  Most radio shows contained national commercials and had to be aired on a certain date; otherwise, the commercial content would be dated.  This series was sold outright to stations who then sold advertising time on their own to pay for the cost and for their own operating funds  

A rough estimate would be that the show aired on the number week of the year corresponding to the show number.

THE ELVIS HOUR aired on The Creative Radio Network out of California which was known for shows on this model.

Each show contained an hour of Elvis standards, rare takes, concert material, and guest interviews.   

Each show is a joy to behold and you can see in the listing how attractive they are.  PLEASE NOTE, speaking of the listing picture, it is a GENERIC picture and not the show you are getting but it will look exactly the same.

You will thoroughly love these shows and I am so pleased to be able to offer them to you.  Of course they were never offered to the general public and are no longer made anyway so they are extremely rare.  It is true Americana and you will never see them again. 

Of course, I ship them to you in a special mailer to ensure they will be as fresh and good looking when they come to your home as they are now.  

I am proud to offer you an opportunity to have some of these rare shows for your own collection.  You will especially love them if you are a fan of The King of Rock and Roll. 

It is Americana that few people can own both because of their rarity and because people just don't know about them.  You will get the perfect shows, in beautiful shape.  These are genuine collector's items  that you will treasure and which will increase in value as all radio shows, especially as the quality shows completely disappear from the market place or become too expensive to afford. 

 As long as I have them, I will sell them for as reasonable a price as I can,  even given the almost 30% of every purchase that Uncles EBay and Paypal keep for their very own.  

This is the genuine original show that was sent to the radio station 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.

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.     

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 always, for U.S. buyers, I charge only $2.99 shipping on the first show you buy so the more you buy the more money you will save.  For my international friends, I charge for your heaviest purchase and all others, no matter how many, ship for NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE (except for multi lp shows which ship for an additional $8 for each multi lp show only.) 

Good Luck and God Bless You.
