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. 

 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.  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. 

PLUS, many if not most radio stations simply threw them away after airing .  They could never be aired again due to the time limited commercial content so were useless to them.  

So that means there may only be a few left in the world making them 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 sources to find lots of remaining shows.   The shows that you get now and hold on to will never decrease in value and only 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, as they just have, my shipping rates over the years have decreased.  

And, I have one of the biggest radio show libraries in the world consisting of many 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 limited editions.  Once you get hooked, like me, it is a love affair for life!  Welcome to the Club! 

NOW, Picture yourself back in the  50'S, 60'S AND EARLY 70's.  You were glued to your transistor radio listening to the EARLY ROCK 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.  AND, that great style is continued on a handful of present day shows especially the countdown shows.  THIS IS ONE OF THEM. 

 MOTOR CITY BEAT!  

    I can guarantee to you that these shows were played only on the day of their airing.  I know this because I got them all from a special source who was the station engineer and was given the shows in thanks for all the work that he did for the station.  They have been with him until now when he allowed me to have access to them.  These shows are as mint and as beautiful as you can get and they can be yours.

SO, what is MOTOR CITY BEAT?

  ONE OF THE MOST CLASSIC EARLY ROCK N ROLL SYNDICATED RADIO SHOWS THAT EVER AIRED.  AFTER DICK CLARK'S ROCK ROLL AND REMEMBER, THIS IS ONE OF  LA CREME DE LA CREME. 

 MOTOR CITY BEAT FEATURED NOT ONLY THE BEST MUSIC FROM THE EARLY ROCK ERA AND SPECIFICALLY ALL MOTOWN,  BUT PRESENTED BY ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST RENOWNED DISC JOCKEYS, BILL ROCK WHO CAN CURRENTLY BE HEARD ON SIRIUS/XM AND SOME OF THE BEST AND EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEWS YOU WILL EVER HEAR.

 This show is one of the best packaged radio shows ever produced and rivals or exceeds Dick Clark's Rock Roll and Remember.  The album cover is beautiful as you can see in the picture. 

 The Cue sheets are the best quality.  They took everything in the production of this show seriously.

This show is a classic and needs to be in your collection.  Whenever I list these shows they sell immediately because they are so rare and of such high quality. United Stations Radio Network took pride in its syndicated shows and it shows in the production values of this one. 

These shows are true Americana.  The history of rock and roll and its evolution to today cannot be discussed without Motown entering into the mix again and again and you can see why after hearing these shows!  

These shows give you an opportunity to have something that few people in the world can own and belong in your collection.  I am pleased to offer these great and rare shows to you. 

Most people do not even know about radio shows.  It is a piece of radio history you are getting with these shows.  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. 

This show is MAGNIFICENT.  AND, these shows are disappearing from the market because they are no longer available.  The lp shows have not been made since at least 1991 and they have the truest fidelity as you know if you are an audiophile.  I truly do not know of ANY show currently available on CD and these LP shows have much better fidelity.  So, the days of unique shows not copied from the soundboard of a station and sold as such are gone.  This is all there is and will be. 

BEFORE YOU CHECK OUT THIS SHOW, NOTE MY LOW SHIPPING AND SHOW PRICES!!!   2.99 cent shipping for as many as you buy saves you big bucks!!!  Buy one or a hundred and pay only 2.99 cents total. And my international friends pay only 25.00 for the first show and EVERY other show in the same order ships for no further charge unless it is a multi lp set like this one in which case you pay an additional $8 for each such show.   You won't find a better shipping deal on the internet for radio shows.  My prices are guaranteed to save!  Others say they are the lowest cost on the internet - compare shop.  Add their shipping costs to their prices and compare with mine.  You WILL save and the more you buy the more you save.  

It is said that selling radio shows may be a vanishing hobby since all available shows are quickly being scooped up by collectors.  Well, I still sell Betamax machines which sell quickly whenever I list them so that is not true, but it is true that they will become rarer and harder to find so grab them now while the prices are still reasonable.

   Good Luck and God Bless You.
