PLEASE  NOTE FELLOW COLLECTOR FRIENDS THAT WHEN YOU BUY FIVE OR MORE ITEMS FROM MY STORE AT ONE TIME THAT EBAY WILL IMMEDIATELY DISCOUNT YOUR INVOICE BY 20%  IT IS THE LEAST I CAN DO FOR MY FELLOW COLLECTORS WHO LOOK FOR GREAT DEALS AS MUCH AS I DO!   THANK YOU!

I HAVE ALMOST 300 DIFFERENT TITLES OF RADIO SHOWS REPRESENTING EVERY GENRE OF RADIO SHOW FROM ROCK TO BLUEGRASS, GOSPEL, POP, CLASSICAL, COMEDY, DRAMA AND MORE. 

AND IF YOU ARE A FAN OF THE BEST ROCK FROM LONDON WITH GREAT INTERVIEWS AND LIVE PERFORMANCES AND PRESENTED BY ONE OF BEST BRITISH DJ'S EVER, READ ON!

SO HERE ARE THE BIG QUESTIONS: 

 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. 

First allow me tell you my own personal story of discovering the wonder of radio shows.

  I discovered radio shows quite by accident while reading one of my favorite (long since departed) magazines called "Discoveries" (It was later bought by the same company that publishes "Goldmine" which I personally always considered a lesser publication, but that is another story.

  This was before ebay became the driving force in radio show sales (and everything else) in the later 1990's.

 I was especially attracted in "Discoveries" to a two page (or more) spread in each issue by a guy called "The Old Hippie". 

 Let me tell you, the Old Hippie had it all.  He was a real pioneer.  Way before anyone knew what radio shows even were let alone that they could be bought as rarities, he had the market cornered.

Most shows that he advertised were way beyond my budget but I drooled over those pages every issue and once in awhile I could afford one or two. 

 Now, I have attempted in my own humble way to take on the mantle of "The Old Hippie".  I have listed over 10,000 unique radio shows of all genres for you all to drool over, and most at prices, hopefully, that collectors can better afford!  I want to make available to collectors what I could not afford and especially in these days of higher prices and lesser availability.

Radio shows are harder and harder to find in quantity and the prices for the ones still out there just go higher and higher as they disappear from the market.  However, because of my large presence on eBay, I am always being contacted with selling offers, some of which I take advantage of and some I have to pass on because of the prices. I have found that by buying in bulk, even when many or most of the shows are lesser known but still amazing shows, I can offer the best prices on all titles.

 So, again, what is a radio show?  

 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 printed 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 hundred of each week's show that survived but think about it.  A 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, many if not most stations just threw them away after the show aired because the content was dated by the commercials and could not be aired again so they were in that sense worthless and not worth the storage. 

So there are likely very very few of these great shows remaining.

This being the case, they are increasingly hard to find and more and more expensive all the time.  

  Here is another great show for you from  the ONE OF THE BEST BRITISH ROCK SHOWS OF ALL TIME,  THE ROCK OVER LONDON SHOW  AND ON BEAUTIFUL VIRGIN VINYL FROM 30 YEARS AGO.

THE ROCK OVER LONDON SHOW WAS AN HOUR SHOW THAT AIRED WEEKLY ON THE RADIO INTERNATIONAL RADIO NETWORK.  EACH FEATURED GREAT BRITISH ARTISTS WITH RARE CUTS, LIVE CUTS AND INTERVIEWS.  

Each segment was introduced by a famous artist.  The show was hosted by Graham Dene.  

  THIS IS A NEW OFFERING TO YOU AND IS ONE OF THE OVERALL RAREST AND MOST SOUGHT AFTER SERIES EVER SYNDICATED TO RADIO.  

I AM LISTING MY ENTIRE COLLECTION IN A PRISTINE LP, THE BEST FORMAT AVAILABLE

  EACH SHOW HAS BEEN PLAYED ONLY ONCE AND THEN STORED.  IT COMES WITH CUE SHEETS.  

Quality radio shows are getting harder and harder to come across now that they are all transmitted to stations digitally and not on CD.  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 BRITISH 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 RADIO INTERNATIONAL RADIO NETWORK  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 .  Most all of my shows come from one or two sources.  Either my shows came directly from radio stations or the syndicators or from a collector in Washington State who also dealt directly with radio stations and distributors and acquired tens of thousands of shows.  I am the recipient of his remaining shows. 

 This show aired on         JANUARY 19, 1986        IT IS SHOW #303    

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 ROCK OVER LONDON SERIES is ultra rare.  In fact, when they are on eBay at all, they tend to get bought quickly if you see them at all

 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.
