PLEASE NOTE THAT THE LISTING PICTURE IS A GENERIC PICTURE AND NOT OF THIS ACTUAL SHOW.  SINCE ALL THE RADIO SHOWS LOOKED THE SAME WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE CUE SHEETS, IT MAKES IT EASIER TO LIST USING A GENERIC PICTURE.  THE ACTUAL CONTENTS OF THIS SHOW WILL BE FOUND BELOW!  THANK YOU!

  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 downloaded through iTunes or wherever, they have a unique presentation of their favorite artist or music not available anywhere else and always with dj comments which were very entertaining. 

 Some collect interviews with their favorite artists as most shows had interview segments. 

 Believe it or not, 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 few as a couple hundred of each week's show pressed but think about it.  A couple 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 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 radio station contact for these shows is running very low and when he is gone I will be at the mercy of finding a good deal here and there but never from a regular source and maybe not from a radio station but other collectors.  The shows that you get now and hold on to will never decrease in value and only increase.  Even during the recession which is hopefully ending, the value of shows did not diminish much.  The number bought diminished because people were afraid to spend their money and who blames them.  But the prices did not decrease much and again are on the increase. 

 I have prided myself since the start to provide the best and fairest cost with a  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 have decreased.  And, I have one of the biggest radio show libraries in the world consisting of many thousands of 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 music radio.  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!  

      PLEASE NOTE MY LOW SHIPPING AND SHOW PRICES!!!   2.99 cent shipping for as many as you buy saves you big bucks!!!  Buy one or a hundred and pay only 2.99 cents total.  And for my international friends, you only pay shipping on your heaviest show and all others shipped with the same show ship for no extra charge no matter how many you have bought.          I AM PLEASED TO OFFER THIS SIGNIFICANT SHIPPING DISCOUNT TO YOU TO OFFSET THE  HIGH OVERSEAS SHIPPING CHARGES.  (Canadian buyers please note that ebay computes your shipping based on international rates but in fact the rates to Canada are not much higher than in the US so I will refund the excess shipping to you after your purchase)    YOU WON'T FIND A BETTER SHIPPING DEAL ON THE INTERNET FOR RADIO SHOWS  

This auction is for a collection of Sheena Easton on radio for Rick.  If you want a special auction for your favorite artist or or show, just let me know and we will work it out so you will be happy!

   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 Dick Bartley and the gang can provide.  Also, keep in mind that this and all the oldies 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 for most of these shows because I tried to get the entire collection of this syndicated show.  I almost made it but then the sources dried up  and subsequent ones I bought were hit or miss in terms of what I had or did not have.  I finally gave up.  I am saving those shows I treasure the most and sharing the rest with you for very reasonable prices. 

   As always, I charge only shipping on the first show you buy for U.S. buyers  and for my international friends,  so the more you buy the more money you will save.  Good Luck and God Bless You.
