THIS RARE PROMO SHOW  IS CALLED   HOT TRCKS USA

IT WAS TO BE A WEEKLY THREE HOUR SHOW FROM GOLDEN EGG PRODUCTIONS

IT WAS TO FEATURE THE TOP 25 SINGLES OF THE WEEK BASED ON AIRPLAY AND THE 10 BEST SELLING ALBUMS AS CHARTED BY THE INDUSTRY PUBLICATION RADIO AND RECORDS, ALONG WITH ARTIST INTERVIEWS AND SPECIAL FEATURES.

IT WAS HOSTED BY LEGENDARY DJ, MOVIE ACTOR, AND PRODUCER OF HUNDREDS OF RADIO AND TELEVISION COMMERCIALS, TERRY McGOVERN

HE WAS IN AMERICAN GRAFFITI AND STAR WARS.  IN AMERICAN GRAFFITI HE PLAYED THE ROLE OF THE HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER MR BILL WOLFE AND IN STAR WARS PROVICED VOICE OVERS FOR VARIOUS PERSONALITIES OF THE EMPIRE.  IN 1993 HE APPEARED IN MRS DOUBTFIRE

THIS PROMO OF THE ACTUAL SHOW COMES ON ONE LP AND IS ACCOMPANIED BY AN INFORMATION SHEET DESCRIBING THE UPCOMING SHOW

IT IS NOT CLEAR THAT THE SHOW EVER AIRED.  PERHAPS NOT ENOUGH STATIONS SIGNED UP FOR THE COUNTDOWN SHOW TO BE VIABLE.  CERTAINLY I HAVE NEVER SEEN  THE ACTUAL SHOW IN MY 30+ YEARS OF COLLECTING RADIO SHOWS

THAT MAKES THIS PROMO A REAL, LITERALLY ONE OF A KIND SHOW THAT NEEDS TO BE IN YOUR COLLECTION.         

SO HERE ARE THE BIG QUESTIONS IF YOU DO NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT RADIO SHOWS: 

 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 11,000 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?  

 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 downloaded or streamed,  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 affiliate stations in the United States.  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, many stations just threw them away after airing since they could never be aired again due to the time limiting commercial content and given the limited storage space at most radio stations.  Believe me, I know!  I was an on air personality at one for over seven glorious years.

 SO 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  or on lp, later on CD and even later (after 2000 for most shows) on CDR.

  Now they are no longer available at all to collectors since they are distributed by digital download. 

These shows become rarer and rarer every day because the people who buy them hold on to them.  Happily I am well enough known that radio stations and those who have accumulated large collections contact me when they are ready to sell.

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 way over fifteen 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!    

  These shows are priced a little higher because they are so rare and hard to find, but none of the other shows give you as much. 

 This is the original show sent 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.  

  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. 

 The show also comes with its original national commercials and none of the boring local commercials everyone hates!  Some people buy these shows for their commercial collections but if you don't like them, just skip to the next track and they are gone!  

 Remember that this and all the radio music shows that you see on eBay  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 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.   

 It is a great show and would be a valuable addition to your collection.  

As always, for U.S. buyers, I charge only shipping on the first show you buy so the more you buy the more money you will save.  For my international friends, I charge shipping for the first show bought and every other show in the same package ships for free or ONLY $10 FOR EACH ADDITIONAL MULTI LP SHOW.  This is how I try to counter the terribly high shipping prices that recently took a huge hike.  

 Good Luck and may God richly bless you always and forever.
