all limited editions in the hundreds at most and many much less.       This show, for all you vinyl lovers, and there are a bunch out there judging by the number of you that have responded to my rare and old vinyl radio show sales, is a rare vinyl that you will not find on eBay ever.     THIS IS FOR A SPECIAL EDITION OF THE OFF THE RECORD SPECIAL WITH MARY TURNER.   This series is one of the best known in rock radio syndication.   First of all, the fidelity is unexcelled.  This hour long show was pressed on Audiophile lp's, the best known of all lp's.   Secondly, the one hour show, unlike almost every other lp radio show, was pressed on two full lp's , on both sides.  Each side, therefore, contained no more than 15 minutes of the show.  The fidelity of each show is better than you will find ANYWHERE.   PLUS the show was played only once, the day of its broadcast.  The lp's look as new as the day they were pressed.  the cue sheets are in good condition and the album cover is very good with normal wear.    The series is a classic series sought after by all rock music lovers and collectors.  and I offer them to you at a price you will not find anywhere.    This show aired on APRIL 18, 1988 and featured NONE OTHER THAN INXS.  THE MUSIC ON THIS GREAT SHOW CAN BE SEEN IN THE CUE SHEET ON THE LISTING PICTURE.                    This is one great hour in music and the best of all, it is vinyl and virgin vinyl at that  probably played only the day it aired.  After that the stations were to just toss them or return them to Westwood One Stations.   You have a unique opportunity to get some of the best shows ever made.   This series is the best classic rock series that ever aired on American radio.  You will just not hear most of these songs on any other show.  All the  artists featured in this series helped define rock music through their work  You will hear not only great tunes. but also interviews and stories about the artists  and their music that you have never heard before.  Great tunes will all come your way in this great one hour show with the unique themes that made the show the most popular classic rock show ever to be on syndication.   The soundtrack of our lives were shaped by this music and  you will reminisce thinking of those people, events and where you were in your life.  This is all featured on this great hour of  music, commentary, stories and interviews.       Remember, when you buy this show, not only will you own the tunes but also interspersed between songs is fascinating commentary on the artists and songs that only Mary Turner can provide.   Also, keep in mind that this and all the classic rock shows 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 history.  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; in fact, believe it or not, I paid a lot more than you will.     Many people even enjoy the national commercials that are included on the show because some 15-20 years later they sound great!                         You will notice by these commercials that the show attracted a great demographic as all these commercials are for fun products.      Some people buy the shows for the commercials  they collect!  Either way, it is a great show and would be a valuable addition to your collection.   As always, I charge only shipping on the first show you buy ,  so the more you buy the more money you will save.   For my international buyers, there is no additional shipping charge past your heaviest item except for multi lp disc albums which add only $8 for each additional album.  Good Luck and God Bless You.
