 SO HERE ARE THE BIG QUESTIONS: 

 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 most stations just threw them away since they could never be aired again due to the time limited commercial content on the shows and the limited storage space available at most radio stations.  Believe me I know,  I work at one!  

That being said, 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 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. 

   Picture yourself back in the 80's AND BEYOND.  You were glued to your walkman  listening to the top 40 presented by your local radio station.  You had that thing 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 and country .  Music was king and the dj's were just as popular.  You can relive those days with a dynamite countdown series like this with one of radio's best and most enduring dj's.    

   OK guys and gals, many of you remember my great LEE ARNOLD ON A COUNTRY ROAD   LP shows.  Well, they are back, at least a few of them.  That's all I have left which is a shame but they are all safely in collectors hands who will love them and enjoy them.  These are the last.  I have not seen one advertised on ebay in forever so if you are in the market for a few new shows, you'll want to grab one. The show comes on  3 LP's in new condition  and are distributed by THE WESTWOOD ONE  RADIO NETWORKS.   

  The cue sheets COME WITH THIS SHOW and are in EXCELLENT condition.  

Each show featured an artist, or on some shows, several featured artists with what he called 'conversations' which were actually extended interviews that you will not find anywhere else.

Several had artist montages of their hits lasting 10 minutes or more.  Some contained live concert footage.  Every week with Lee Arnold was a delight.

There were also special features on each show including showcase records, mail requests, and trivia among others 

 LEE ARNOLD ON A COUNTRY ROAD   aired on  THE WESTWOOD ONE RADIO NETWORK.  It is one one of the most popular and best loved country radio shows of all time.

Lee Arnold  is a world wide known dj and did programs not only for Westwood One but for The US Army as a recruiting tool.        

It was a three hour weekly show with features, interviews, and fun along with the best country sounds ever.  

The three hour show comes on three lp's in excellent new condition especially having been aired over 29 years ago.  The show comes with its cue sheets in excellent condition and housed in an attractive album cover as seen in the listing picture.

Each week Lee played the best of contemporary country with songs arranged in specialty themes. 

 Most shows had a featured artist with multiple songs from that artist along with in depth interview segments.  

I have listed the featured artist and if you scroll through the listing you will see both the featured artist and the other artists presented.  Although the segments do not list the theme of that particular segment, for some it is obvious.  For the others, you will find out as you listen to this special program.

Please play it once to transfer it to mp3 or CD format so you can protect the rarity of this show.  There are so few left because most stations that aired them threw them away after broadcast since they could not be played again due to the time limited commercial content and the scarcity of space of most radio stations.  (Believe me I know all about that - I work at one!)

So there are likely very few left and most of those are in private collector collections

  I got this show as part of a library of over 1000 rare country lp radio shows from a private collector who knew radio station general managers and was able to acquire them directly from them.    Now they can be yours 

Just scroll down a bit further for extensive details about this show that comes with its cue sheets in perfect condition along with the Audiophile lp's.  

The earliest Lee Arnold shows came in a yellow box as pictured.  Later they came in an album with the same yellow cover.  Later shows came in the while cover.  All are quality along with the cue sheets.

Each lp is an audiophile meaning the most high quality vinyl that only audiophiles seek.  

      THIS SHOW AIRED ON THE WEEKEND OF SEPTEMBER 24, 1988 AND IS SHOW #88-39.

IT IS A ONE OF A KIND.           

 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. 

  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 comes with its original national commercials. Some people buy these shows for their commercial collections!    On This show they includes  Swensen's  Ice Cream      Black & Decker      Amway   AND  MORE!           

 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.

 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, pay shipping for your heaviest purchase (and if you buy multi lp shows, there is only an additional $8 charge for each.  All other items ship for no extra charge.)  

 Good Luck and God Bless You.
