DESCRIPTION:

This listing is for the rare original 1985 radio broadcast of the Weekly Top 40 which the radio stations played to their audiences. The four records are in VG+ to NM condition and look to be played only once. The sleeve has some wear and staining on it (soda pop, I believe); the records were unaffected. Please see my photos and ask for more if desired as they are part of the description for this item.

Please see my other auctions; I have several other weeks from 1984-1986 (see list below) that I will be adding to Ebay in the coming days.

Rick Dees’ Weekly Top 40 (sometimes known as The Weekly Top 40) is an internationally syndicated radio program created and hosted by American radio personality Rick Dees. It debuted in September 1983, after Rick's then-station, KIIS-FM, lost American Top 40 to a rival station, KIQQ (now KSWD) over the playing of network commercials. 

This is how nationally syndicated radio shows were formatted back in the 1980's. A 4- hour show would be four, 12-inch vinyl records.

No track titles or info pertaining to programs are on labels.

Discs are labeled for 2 parts, each to play continuously on two turntables.

Mixed music, commercials and show id's.
