MORE PHOTOS OF THE PAPERWORK AND OUTER BOX HAVE BEEN ADDED)

According to the internet, this is apparently the fourth vinyl edition of the what is probably the longest radio show ever syndicated in the United States. The original 1969 historically epic radio show was called "modern music's first rockumentary" It was 48 hours long and only sent to a relative handful of radio stations on a promotional basis and the 1969 edition was distributed only on reel to reel tape.
 It is called the Drake - Chenault History of Rock and Roll. This 1986 edition (which is a repressing of the 1981 edition) consists of 52 record albums in paper sleeves and a three page table of contents and a 27 page log of rock and roll trivia questions.
 FEWER THAN 200 OF THESE PROMO ONLY MULTI DISK RADIO SHOWS WERE CREATED TO DISTRIBUTE NATIONALLY IN THE UNITED STATES. 
The entire program comes in the original 1986 shipping box.

Focusing on the description of 1981 edition then, the focused description of that edition of this rare promotional king of rock and roll radio shows has been described in Wikipedia in much of the following way:
"The 1981 Drake-Chenault version of "The History of Rock and Roll" radio show was released in the spring of 1981, and was named the "Silver Anniversary Edition of the History of Rock & Roll", so-called because it was released 25 years after Elvis Presley's first #1 hit record. Not wishing to increase the size of the 52 hour radio program, and with an attempt to place greater emphasis on the late 1970s musical trends, the controversial decision was made to severely cut back the radio program sections devoted to the 1950s and early 1960s (prior to the advent of the Beatles). All of the pre-1978 content in the "Silver Anniversary Edition," therefore, was actually a recycled cut-down of Theroux, Ford and Drake's 1969 award-winning work. Only their two-hour profile of Elvis Presley remained relatively intact. The half-hour recaps of chart highlights from each year between 1956 and 1963 were condensed into a single half hour, while new chart sweeps for 1978, 1979, and 1980 were expanded to a full hour each. The final hour, the "time sweep", brought the number one song montage[13] up to date through Eddie Rabbitt's "I Love a Rainy Night", the song that was number one in early 1981, at the time the 1981 version of "The History of Rock and Roll" was prepared. The final hour of the 1981 program closed with The Beatles' 1963 version of "Rock and Roll Music"
