PLEASE NOTE THAT THE LISTING PICTURE IS NOT THE ACTUAL SHOW BUT A GENERIC PICTURE.  SINCE ALL RADIO SHOWS HAD THE SAME LABEL, UNLIKE REGULAR LP RECORDS, IT MAKES SENSE TO JUST LIST ONE THAT YOU CAN SEE.    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 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.  Believe it or not, some collect commercials especially old car commercials but certainly not limited to only those.  AND, these shows are in limited quantity.  They were printed just for syndicated stations in the United States.  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 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 running very low and when he is gone I will be 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.  Even during the recession which is hopefully ending, the value of shows did not diminish much.  The number bought diminished because people were afraid to spend their money and who blames them.  But the prices did not decrease much and again are on the 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 many thousands of 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!  IF YOU DO LIKE RADIO SHOWS FEATURING THE BEST MUSIC OF ALL TIME IN EVERY GENRE IMAGINABLE, YOU HAVE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE.  Here are some of the great series I have in LP or CD:  Dick Clark's Rock Roll and Remember, Flashback, Casey's Top 40 or Top 20, AT40, AT20 or AT10 with Casey, AT40 with Ryan Seacrest, Dick Clark's Countdown America, Dick Clark's National Music Survey,  Cousin Brucie, Live in the 60's with the Real Don Steele,  The Classics, Blues Deluxe, CMT Weekly Country Countdown, Bob Kingsley's Country Top 40, Weekly Country Music Countdown, Solid Gold Scrapbook, Hard Drive , Pile Driver, Back Traxx, Beatle Years,  Crook and Chase Country Countdown, Bill Cody's Country Oldies, Jukebox Explosion, Rise Up Country with John Ritter, Urban Mixx, Street Heat, Powerline, Good Time Oldies Magazine, Tom Joyner Mike Harvey's Super Gold, Tom Kent From the Basement 70's show,  House of Blues,  Leeza Gibbons Hollywood Confidential,  Leeza Gibbons countdown shows, and literally scores more so that it would take the rest of the page to name them all. Besides the two music rooms in my house, I also have a 10 x 20 air conditioned storage shed filled to the brim with great shows.  I have one of the biggest collections in the world.  They are all available to you for the asking. I only have time to list a fraction of my shows because I work full time and this is my hobby, but just know they are there!  I give special discounts for bulk purchases of any show.  You tell me what you want, I put up a Buy It Now Auction for you, and they quickly head your way!!!  OK guys and gals, in this outing, A RARE TREAT!!!!   Picture yourself back in the 50's AND BEYOND.  You were glued to your transistor rario or 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.  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.   PRESENTED FOR YOU TODAY IS ONE OF THE RAREST OF RARE RADIO SHOWS, THE CLASSIC ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE'S CONTINUOUS HISTORY OF ROCK AND ROLL.  YOU RARELY SEE THESE SHOWS ON LP AND THE CD SHOWS ARE ALSO VERY RARE.  The shows tracked the history of rock and roll from its roots to today.  Each show was an hour in length and get this, THE HOUR WAS SPREAD OUT OVER THREE SIDES OF TWO LP'S UNLIKE MOST RADIO SHOWS WHICH PUT AN HOUR OF CONTENT ON TWO SIDES OF ONE LP.  THAT MAKES FOR EXTRA FIDELITY ON THIS RARE SHOW.  And, the fourth side of the lp contained daily features for use by the radio station.  There were five features, one for each day.  Each feature was about two and a half minutes long with a Budweiser commercial and content relating to the theme of the show.  THE SHOW HAS EVERYTHING!!!    The show was syndicated by Rolling Stone Magazine Productions and is called "The Continuous History of Rock and Roll"  It was a weekly show on two lp's in beautiful condition looking like the day they were pressed.  AND  the show aired in the early 80's making them up to 35 years old.  For any lp to look like new after 35 years is amazing in itself let alone a show this rare.  There are occasional scuff marks on an lp here or there probably from being stored in their paper sleeves all these years but other than that they look like new.  In truth, they aired once on the day of network broadcast and then stored up to and including today.  EACH SHOW had a particular theme having to do with the history of Rock and Roll and the entire show was based on that theme.  The show contained rare tracks, important information relating to the theme, interviews, and presented with only the authority of music like Rolling Stone magazine could present.    THE SHOW COMES WITH ITS CUE SHEET IN GOOD CONDITION.  Remember, the fourth side of every show had five mini features , one for each day of the week, relating to that week's show.    IT IS A MUST FOR YOUR COLLECTION.       This show aired the week of November 14, 1981.  The theme of this week's show was "WHERE ROCK BEGAN"  The show contains 11 songs along with interviews and history that will tie together the theme for you in an exciting and entertaining and educational way.    Here are the songs on this great hour of music and history on the Rolling Stone Continuous History of Rock and Roll:         Rock n Roll Music - The Beatles               Little Sister - Rockpile with Robert Plant                 Honey Don't - Beatles              Blue Suede Shoes - John Lennon with the Plastic One Band                  Not Fade Away - Rolling Stones             That'll Be The Day - Linda Ronstadt             Well All Right - Santana                   Summertime Blues - The Who                Carol - Rolling Stones                Johnnie B Goode - Johnny Winter             and                 It Wasn't Me - George Thorogood       THEN, THERE WERE THE DAILY FEATURES THAT AIRED THAT WEEK:      Monday:  Elvis Presley            Tuesday: Carl Perkins                Wednesday: Buddy Holly              Thursday:  Eddie Cochran                Friday:   Chuck Berry                   It is a great show.           The music is GREAT!        You will love this show and it belongs in your collection.    What a show!           It is a great variety of music along with interviews and fun facts.    How can you beat that!!!!!!   You will super great tunes and the best part is that you can hear them again and again, over and over,  whenever you want.          Remember, when you buy this show, not only will you own the tunes but also interspersed between songs is fascinating commentary on the artists and songs.    Also, keep in mind that this and all  shows 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 history.  You just aren't going to find these shows anymore.  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   Most people even enjoy the national commercials that are included on the show because some 35 years later they sound good!                                       Included  on this show   are   the primary sponsor,         BUDWEISER, their long time  sponsor  AND Nestles 100,000 Candy Bars                       .  You can see by these commercials that the show attracted a great demographic as all these commercials are for fun products.      Some people buy the shows for the commercials  they collect!  Either way, it is a great show and would be a valuable addition to your collection Good Luck and God Bless You.
