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?  

  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 mornings, afternoons or evenings or less often on week days 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, 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 affiliate stations and 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 350 million Americans and millions of overseas collectors who look for unique presentations of their favorite artists or form of music. 

Many radio stations just tossed them away after airing because they could never be aired again due to the time limited commercials and the limited storage space at most radio stations (believe me I know, I worked at one for over seven glorious years!)

SO they are increasingly hard to find. 

 They were first distributed on reel to reel tape or 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.   

  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 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 limited editions in the hundreds at most and many much less.  Once you get hooked, like me, it is a love affair for life!    Welcome to the Club! 

     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 rarely find on eBay ever.   

  It is called  SILVER PLATTER SERVICE FROM HOLLYWOOD WITH JACK WAGNER

IT WAS A MONTHLY  30 MINUTE SHOW PRESENTED BY CAPITOL RECORDS  IN BEAUTIFUL LIKE NEW CONDITION. 

THIS LP GIVE YOU TWO COMPLETE SHOWS

THE SHOW WAS HOSTED BY CAPITOL RECORDS EXECUTIVE JACK WAGNER

THE SHOW WAS A SHOWCASE FOR THE LATEST CAPITOL RECORDS RELEASES AND WAS PROVIDED TO RADIO STATIONS FOR THEIR PROGRAMMING SCHEDULE. 

 IN BETWEEN EACH SONG JACK TALKED ABOUT THE ARTIST OR SONG AND IN MANY CASES THERE WERE EXTENDED INTERVIEWS WITH THE ARTISTS

THESE WERE SHOWS #109 AND 110 THAT AIRED IN APRIL AND MAY, 1966

THE SHOW CONTENTS WERE PRINTED ON THE BACK OF EACH ALBUM IN GREAT DETAIL

THESE SHOWS ARE AMAZINGLY RARE.  IF YOU LOOK ON AMAZON YOU WILL SEE THEM SELLING FOR $35 TO $50 BUT AT KEITH'S KOLLECTABLES YOU CAN HAVE THEM FOR LESS.

I DON'T HAVE MANY SO WHEN THEY ARE GONE, THAT'S IT.

THEY COME IN THEIR ORIGINAL CAPITOL RECORDS SLEEVES PROMOTING THEIR PRODUCT  THE SLEEVES ARE FOR THE MOST PART IN VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT CONDITION.

THE LPs ARE IN EXCELLENT TO NEAR MINT CONDITION.

THE ALBUM COVER IS IN VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT CONDITION

         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 and wonderful interview segments and other features.  

  Also, keep in mind that this and all  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  

Good Luck and God Bless You.
