PLEASE REMEMBER THAT IF YOU BUY ANY FIVE OR MORE ITEMS FROM MY STORE, EBAY WILL DISCOUNT YOUR TOTAL BY 20% AT CHECKOUT.  IT IS A GREAT DISCOUNT TO ALLOW YOU TO FILL THOSE HOLES IN YOUR COLLECTION AT A REASONABLE PRICE.

AND THE BBC ROCK HOUR IS ALWAYS A GREAT WAY TO FILL THOSE HOLES.  THEY ARE LEGENDARY SHOWS.

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 downloaded through iTunes or wherever, 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. 

 AND, these shows are in limited quantity.  

They were pressed just for syndicated stations in the United States.  Many have just a few still 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 is about as rare as rare can be.  

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  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 contact for these shows is completely sold out of his years worth of shows so I am now 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.  You wouldn't believe the hours I spend on the internet and phone searching radio stations for shows.

  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 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 LIVE CONCERT ROCK SHOWS OF ALL TIME,  THE BBC ROCK HOUR.  AND ON BEAUTIFUL VIRGIN VINYL FROM 30 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.  EACH  ONE IS UNIQUE, FROM LIVE PERFORMANCES,  AND IN MOST CASES NOT AVAILABLE ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD. 

 IF YOU ARE A FAN FROM THE ARTIST PERFORMING OR A FAN OF LIVE OR RARE IN STUDIO PERFORMANCES, THIS SHOW IS FOR YOU.  

 THESE SHOWS CAME DIRECTLY FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER OF A MID POWER FM WHO HAS STORED THEM AFTER THEIR SINGLE BROADCAST .  HE AND I ARE FRIENDS SO WHEN HE WAS READY TO LET THEM GO, I WAS FIRST IN LINE TO GET THEM.  HE IS USING THE MONEY FROM THE SELLING OF THESE SHOWS TO UPGRADE HIS STATION EQUIPMENT.    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 few months 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 or LP.

 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 BBC BROADCASTING CORPORATION  and aired  weekly for one hour. 

 It comes on  ONE LP in new condition looking like it never was played.   The show was an hour in length.    

  They were  played only on the air date and then saved and stored by the station general manager who eventually sold them to me.  Most all of my shows come from one or two sources and they are direct from radio stations to me to you.

 This show aired on          JULY 1, 1984          IT IS SHOW #537     

Show contents can be seen 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 BBC ROCK HOUR SERIES is 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. 

  Good Luck and God Bless You.
