SO HERE IS THE BIG QUESTION IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST VIEWING OF A RADIO SHOW :

JUST EXACTLY 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.

You\'re going to get a lengthy answer and all my listings have a great deal of print to read. Some people complain I write too much but I am so passionate about the genre of radio shows and the music that I probably go overboard a little and for that I apologize!

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 a particular 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 very limited quantity.

RADIO SHOWS 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, many stations just tossed them away when they were done airing because they could never be played again due to the dated commercial content combined with the limited space in most radio stations. (Believe me, I know, I work at one!)

SO they are increasingly hard to find.

RADIO SHOWS 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 collect them and sell them, like me, are running out of sources for more shows .

My best contact for these shows is flat 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 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 ROCK TRIBUTE SHOWS OF ALL TIME, THE ROCK OF YOUR LIFE HOSTED BY LEGENDARY ROCK DJ RAY WHITEAND ON BEAUTIFUL VIRGIN VINYL FROM 31 YEARS AGO.

Here is a story about DJ Ray White written by Ben Fong Torres, legendary rock writer from 2016

DJs and program hosts variously sit and stand at their consoles — whatever they feel like doing.Ray Whitedoesn’t have that luxury of choice. To walk, he requires two canes. As the afternoon drive announcer on the classical music station KDFC from 3:30 to 8 p.m. weekdays, he will sit, thank you.

White, 65, contracted a polio-like disease, Guillain-Barré syndrome, when he was a 15-year-old in Hartford, Conn. Until then, he had been an athlete as well as a music lover.

“I got paralyzed from the waist down,” he said. “I could never get rid of it.”

Looking back, he drew strong connections between his disease and his career.

“Somebody once said to me, ‘Music saved your butt.’ She was right. While he was in the hospital in Hartford, a DJ from WDRC, White’s favorite rock station, came by. Impressed by White’s radio knowledge, he invited him to visit the station when he was discharged. White got out, got the tour and got hooked on radio. He began hanging out at stations.

“I’d get coffee or once in a while, when a guy went out for a smoke, I’d get to run the board.”

When he recalls those times, he thinks of theCameron Crowemovie “Almost Famous,” about a teenager who falls in love with the music scene. White estimates that he’s seen it a million times.

“At our home, it’s huge. My son Harrison, who’s 17, will ask me, ‘Russell, what do you like about music?,’ and I’ll turn my chair around and go, ‘To begin with: everything.’”

That’s the last scene from the movie.

Although he naturally gravitated toward rock as a kid, when it comes to classical music, he’s no Johann-come-lately. Around the house, while his father played jazz artists likeAhmad JamalandAbbey Lincoln, his mother exposed him to concertos byGriegandRachmaninoff.

But it was rock, not Rachmaninoff, that White spun in his first radio stints, at WLIR on Long Island and at WNEW-FM in Manhattan into the late ’80s. He would move to smooth jazz on “CD 101.9” in New York for most of the ’90s, until KKSF in San Francisco plucked him for an eight-year run.

After a format flip, White found himself seesawing between rocking on KFOG and doing straightforward announcing on KQED. He also began part-time work on KDFC.

“It was great,” he says. “It sorta scratched all my itches.”

Jazz, rock, classical and PBS. To White, it’s really all the same. “It doesn’t matter if I’m introducingPink Floyd,John ColtraneorBeethoven,” he says. “I’m talking to a friend, to one person. I’m not on a PA talking to thousands.”

That conversational tone is what KDFC is all about. As station PresidentBill Luethputs it: “Ray has a wonderful down-to-earth presentation that is inviting to a broad audience, and that fits with KDFC’s accessible approach to classical radio. With his radio background in rock and smooth jazz, he brings an interesting perspective on how classical music is relevant to us today.”

At KDFC, White works in a modest-size studio — sterile looking, really, with beige walls free of the posters and memorabilia that clutter many studios — and faces one monitor showing the programming schedule, and another computer he uses to check news, email and, once, an online pronunciation dictionary to help him announce conductor Tamás Vásáry’s name correctly.

Unlike most stations, KDFC has no news, traffic or weather reports. As with his colleagues,Hoyt Smith,Dianne NicoliniandRik Malone, White has no need for a producer. Pronunciations aside, it looks like a low-pressure gig.

The biggest challenge in recent years came early in 2011, when KDFC, previously owned by Entercom Media, had to reinvent itself as a public station, cobbling together transmitters to supplement its primary signal at 90.3 (formerly KUSF) and depending on listeners for much of its revenue.

Early on, listeners had to work to find KDFC’s various signals. Now, White says, many have adapted to the Internet, to KDFC’s app, and to adding antennas to get the station, which now ranges from the Napa Valley to Monterey and Big Sur, where KDFC recently added transmitters.

While the Budapest Symphony Orchestra performs “Symphonic Minutes,” White swings our conversation back to other musical genres; he’s friends with smooth-jazzers likeDavid Sanbornand rockers likeJoan Jett; he just got back from Desert Trip, otherwise known as Oldchella, and raves aboutRoger Waters’ set, and about the festival of rock legends in general.

“That was how to do it right.”

He recalls working in a jazz record shop in Hartford, and learning guitar and banjo, and “lovingPete SeegerandBob Dylan” before studying classical music.

“I don’t pick sides,” he says. He just plays them.

THIS IS ONE OF THE OVERALL RAREST AND MOST SOUGHT AFTER SERIES EVER SYNDICATED TO RADIO.EACH ONE IS UNIQUE ALONG WITH GREAT EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEWS AND FEATURES, CLASSIC MUSIC FROM THE ROCK AND ROLL ERA AND GREAT MONTAGES OF SONGS FROM THE THEME HIGHLIGHTED.

IF YOU ARE A FAN FROM THE ARTISTS PERFORMING OR THE THEME, EACH OF WHICH IS COVERED IN DETAIL, THIS SHOW IS FOR YOU.

I will be listing my special collection of these shows over the next month or two 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.

The show , THE ROCK OF YOUR LIFE, aired on the NATIONAL BROADCASTING COMPANY in a JULY 4, 1986 MARATHON 20 HOUR SPECIAL.

The whole 20 hour special is just too darn expensive for any one person to buy so I am selling it IN TWO HOUR/3 LP GROUPS so everyone can have a chance to enjoy this once in a lifetime series. Each 3 LP/TWO HOUR GROUP stands on its own as a show. That way it is affordable to everyone, those looking to collect the whole series and want to fill in missing volumes of the show can, and if not looking for the whole series, collectors can focus on their favorite artists and interviews or their favorite years of the rock and roll era.

It will come on THREE LPs in new condition looking like it never was played. Each side will contain a separate segment of the series. This means that on one side will be a part of one hour and on the other a part of another hour. This was because since it was a twenty hour series, and to provide the maximum fidelity on each lp, there are a total of 40 lp\'s to make up the 20 hours. Each side of the lp will contain about 20 minutes with sixty seconds of it devoted to commercials which appear at the end of the lp. So there is a minimum of disruption to your listening pleasure.

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 4, 1986 IT IS HOUR #3 AND HOUR # 13.

HOUR #3 CONTAINS THE BRITISH INVASION

HOUR #13 HAS THE THEME ROCK\'S STADIUM GROUPS

YOU CAN SEE IN THE LISTING THE CONTENTS OF EACH HOUR;

HOWEVER, THE CUE SHEET ONLY LISTS MUSIC AND COMMERCIALS AND NOT THE EXTENSIVE INTERVIEWS THAT OCCUR. AND TAKE NOTE, THE PRODUCERS WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY TO PROVIDE THE MOST IN DEPTH INTERVIEWS YOU WILL EVER HEAR ON A RADIO SHOW.

ALSO IN THE LISTING PICTURES ARE THE CONTENTS OF EACH HOUR SO YOU WILL KNOW HOW THE ENTIRE SHOW IS SET UP

This is thegenuine original showthat was sent to the radio station for airing. It isNOTan unauthorized copy but theReal 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 any still existing ended up available to us all to enjoy. This show and all the shows in the ROCK OF YOUR LIFE SERIES is ultra rare. In fact, when they areon 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 thatthis and all the radio music shows that you see on are not just about themusic although these presentations are very rare and often cannot be found anywhere. It is the mixture of great music and great announcing along with the interviews and history 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 digitizedand downloaded for playand 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 sale AND WAIT FOR offerDING 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.
