AND THIS SHOW IS ONE OF THE ALL TIME CLASSIC RADIO SYNDICATED PROGRAMS: OFF THE RECORD SPECIAL WITH MARY TURNER 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 pressed just for syndicating 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 contact for these shows is completely out 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.   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 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 OCTOBER 2, 1989 and featured NONE OTHER THAN THE GREAT MIKE AND THE MECHANICS THE MUSIC ON THIS GREAT SHOW CAN BE SEEN IN THE CUE SHEET ON THE LISTING PICTURE. N AND THERE WERE EXTENSIVE RARE INTERVIEWS THROUGHOUT THE SHOW WITH MARY AND HER GUESTS.                  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.
