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.

Let me tell you my personal story of discovering the wonder of radio shows.

  I discovered radio shows quite by accident while reading one of my favorite (long since departed) magazines called "Discoveries".  This was before ebay days in the 1990's and various sellers were selling radio shows. 

 I was especially attracted to a two page (or more) spread in each issue by a guy called "The Old Hippie".  Let me tell you, the Old Hippie had it all.  Most were way beyond my budget but I drooled over those pages every issue and once in awhile I could afford one or two. 

 Now, I have taken on the mantle of "The Old Hippie" and sell 10,000 unique radio shows of all genres for you all to drool over and most at prices, hopefully, that collectors can better afford!

So, again, what exactly is a radio show?

  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. In a radio show, 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, especially as time passes and those old commercials that we once found annoying are now nostalgia. 

 AND, these shows are in limited quantity.  

They were pressed just for syndicating stations in the United States and sometimes also through the American Forces Radio Networks to our military personnel and their families overseas.

  Most shows  have just a few still  available. 

 Some of the more popular shows may have had as many as two hundred of each week's show at the most,  but think about it.  That number at most at most for collectors all over the world who look for unique presentations of their favorite artists or form of music makes them as rare as rare can be.  

Also, many if not most stations  just tossed them away after airing since the shows could not be aired again due to the time oriented commercial content and the limited storage space at most radio stations.  Believe me, I know; I work at one.

So there may be literally just a few left.

Which, of course,  makes them increasingly hard to find. 

 Radio Shows 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  on CDR. 

 Now they are not available at all to collectors since they are distributed by digital download. 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  for years has no more shows so I have been at the mercy of finding a good deal here and there but never from a regular source.  Luckily, radio stations or other collectors with large numbers of shows contact me first when they are selling since I am so well known, like The Old Hippie!

The shows that you get now and hold on to will never decrease in value and will only increase as they become harder and harder to find.  

  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 way 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!  

  Here is another great show for you from  the ONE OF THE BEST weekly ROCK SHOWS OF ALL TIME,  ROCK AND ROLL NEVER FORGETS.  AND ON BEAUTIFUL VIRGIN VINYL FROM 28 YEARS AGO. 

  THIS IS A NEW OFFERING TO YOU AND IS ONE OF THE OVERALL RAREST AND MOST SOUGHT AFTER SERIES EVER SYNDICATED TO RADIO. 

 IF YOU ARE A FAN OF THE SHOW OR OF ITS FORMAT OR OF A PARTICULAR ARTIST THIS SHOW IS FOR YOU.   IT IS THE FIND OF A LIFETIME.

  EACH SHOW HAS BEEN PLAYED ONLY ONCE AND THEN STORED.  IT COMES WITH CUE SHEETS.  

  I will be listing my special collection of these shows over the next few weeks so make sure to keep looking for them.  These are my only remaining shows of the series and I don't think I will probably be able to get more. 

Quality radio shows are getting harder and harder to come across now that they are all transmitted to stations digitally and not on CD.

  What is out there now is all there is and most collectors are holding on to theirs as they grow in value and who would want to give up one of these shows anyway?  If you like classic rock song after song, this is the show for you.  The energy is over the top and the show goes by in an instant.  

  The show airs on the WESTWOOD ONE RADIO NETWORK  and aired  weekly for two hours. 

It was hosted by legendary djs MARC COPPOLA AND STEVE DOWNES

The show comes on two LPs in new condition looking like it never was played.   The show was two hours in length

Each show contained multiple special rare and unique interviews with the artists o the show and are even more sought after because of the interviews.

  They were  played only on the air date and then saved and stored by the station general manager who eventually sold them to me. 

 This show is aired on         OCTOBER  2, 1989 

    It contains TWO LP's in perfect condition with two hours of  great music, features and interviews.    

THE SONG LISTINGS CAN BE SEEN ON THE PICTURED CUE SHEETS IN THE LISTING PICTURE

                    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.

 Stations could use the show anytime during that weekend  and then it ended up available to us all to enjoy.  This show and all the shows in the ROCK AND ROLL NEVER FORGETS SERIES are ultra rare.  In fact, when they are on eBay at all, they tend to get bought quickly. 

 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 although these concert presentations are very rare and often cannot 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. 

MOST SELLERS PUT THESE SHOWS UP AS AN AUCTION AND WAIT FOR BIDDING WARS.  MY SHOWS ARE ALWAYS A BUY IT NOW AT A REASONABLE PRICE SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY MORE THAN YOU NEED TO TO GET THE SHOW THAT YOU WANT. SOME OF THESE SHOWS GO FOR UNBELIEVABLE PRICES.   I WILL NEVER TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A FELLOW COLLECTOR.   I COLLECT TOO AND LIKE TO GET A REASONABLE DEAL.  THAT'S WHY I OFFER THE SAME TO YOU.      

   It is a great show and would be a valuable addition to your collection. 

 As always, for U.S. and international collectors, I charge only shipping on the first show you buy so the more you buy the more money you will save.  (International buyers purchasing multi set shows pay only an additional $8 a show)

  Good Luck and God Bless You.
