PLEASE NOTE, THE PICTURE IN MY LISTING IS A GENERIC PICTURE BECAUSE EACH SHOW LOOKED EXACTLY THE SAME EXCEPT FOR THE AIR DATE WHICH IS SEPARATELY PRINTED ON EACH SHOW. THE EXACT DETAILS OF EACH SHOW ARE PRINTED IN DETAIL BELOW.
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 wherever, they have a unique presentation of their favorite artist or music not available anywhere else and often with dj presentation which is 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 pressed just for syndicated stations. Many have just a few 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.
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 station owner 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 they say has ended but maybe only for rich people, 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 limited editions in the hundreds at most and many much less. Once you get hooked, like me, it is a love affair for life! Welcome to the Club!
NOW, Picture yourself back in the late 50's or 60's, even the 70's. You were glued to your transistor radio listening to the top 40 presented by your local radio station. You had that radio 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 music. Music was king and the dj's were just as popular. You can relive those days whether you grew up then or just wish you had on only a handful of oldies shows. THIS IS ONE OF THEM.
IF YOU 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:

OK guys and gals, here is a rare treat for you radio show fans. I am listing some of my "SOLID GOLD COUNTRY" shows.
It is a weekly ONE hour ONE LP show in immaculate condition looking like it was never played before and in fact it was probably played the day it aired and that's it.
It comes with its cue sheets which are in very good condition.
Now, as to the show itself. It is the companion series to Solid Gold Scrapbook, an oldies series also on the United Stations Radio Network. Each show features the best country music ever compiled in an hour theme. The show aired daily for one hour or as a weekend five hour special depending on the needs of the syndicating station. The concept of a different theme for each show was relatively unique and extremely popular over the years. The show started as an lp show in the same format and evolved into CD's along with the rest of the industry. Its rock companion show, Solid Gold Scrapbook ended production in December, 1991 and this series sadly ended in September, 1993. During the late spring and early summer months of 1991, the show was offered to stations both in lp and CD and made a full transition to CD in mid summer through the end of the year. The CD shows are extremely rare because by the time the show made its shift to CD, the number of syndicating stations had shrunk through a variety of reasons including the shift in syndication toward countdown shows. The LP shows are also very rare especially the oldest ones like this.
The show comes on one LP in beautiful new condition along with its cue sheet in excellent condition.
AGAIN, PLEASE NOTE, THE PICTURE IN MY LISTING IS A GENERIC PICTURE BECAUSE EACH SHOW LOOKED EXACTLY THE SAME EXCEPT FOR THE AIR DATE WHICH IS SEPARATELY PRINTED ON EACH SHOW.
It is an hour of high energy country classics and you will love it. You will learn a lot about music through this great show and the mix of music is terrific. In addition each show contains a variety of interviews that are rare and unique to the show.
You just cannot find these shows anymore except at Keith's Kollectables.
The show aired daily for one hour on the UNITED STATIONS RADIO NETWORK.
The LP show comes on is beautifully decorated as you can see in the listing.
It features CLASSIC CONTEMPORARY OLDIES from the top country artists of all time in an entertaining and fascinating format While most country shows were content to focus on the top tunes of the week which was fun, this show focused on the entire genre of country music from the songwriters, producers, artists, and hits of a particular week.
This show was broadcast on AUGUST 2, 1988.
HERE ARE THE GREAT SONGS AND INTERVIEWS YOU WILL HEAR ON THIS HOUR ADVENTURE INTO THE GREATEST OF CLASSIC COUNTRY MUSIC WITH THIS SHOW'S THEME
'SALUTE TO THE JORDANAIRES" paying tribute to the legendary Jordanaires, the backup group for so many artists most especially known for their long association with Elvis but so many other great artists also.
IT IS AN AMAZING TRIBUTE AND NEEDS TO BE IN YOUR COLLECTION. IMAGINE, ONE HOUR OF THE BEST MUSIC FROM THE ARTISTS WHO HAD THE JORDANAIRES BEHIND THEM. IT WAS AN AMAZING THEME. YOU WILL NEVER HEAR ANOTHER SHOW LIKE IT, JUST THINK OF HOW SPECIAL THIS WONDERFUL HOUR IS.
FIRST, YOU WILL HEAR INTERVIEWS WITH GORDON STOKER OF THE JORDANAIRES HIMSELF THREE OF THEM!
HERE ARE THE TUNES Save The Last Dance For Me - Dolly Parton Back On My Mind Again - Ronnie Milsap Delta Dawn - Tanya Tucker New Looks From An Old Lover - BJ Thomas Fools Fall In Love - Jacky Ward Teddy Bear and All Shook Up - Elvis Presley The Pill - Loretta Lynn Honky Tonk Blues - Charley Pride Stand By Your Man - Tammy Wynette She's All I Got - Johnny Paycheck the Gambler - Kenny Rogers Big Bad John - Jimmy Dean and Crying - Don McLean
Even the commercials are neat to listen to after all these years. This show included Phillips K Mart Manwich Doritos and more! Some people buy the shows because they collect the commercials.
Remember, 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.
Each show comes from my personal collection of thousands of radio shows of every genre. Stations could use the show anytime during that weekend and then any remaining ended up available to us all to enjoy. 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 - 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. 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. I am saving those shows I treasure the most and sharing the rest with you for very reasonable prices. It is a great show and would be a valuable addition to your collection.
Good Luck and God Bless You.
