 Hello Again, friends of unique music presentations!    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 series with the best of contemporary country  

But first, what exactly is a radio show?

The whole genre of radio shows is unknown to most music lovers.  Radio shows were pressed just for syndicating stations and went from five or six stations to as many as a couple hundred for stations across the United States that carried the program.

  They mostly aired on weekends (and still do to this day even though they are no longer available to collectors because now it is all by digital download.)

So unlike typical albums that may have had hundreds of thousands pressed, radio shows from the start had extremely limited distribution.

It thus becomes a unique and special addition to any collection whether you collect the series, a specific artist, or theme.  

So many of my buyers seek these rare shows that highlight their favorite artists and with interviews that can not be found anywhere else, as do I myself to further.

This show  is called LEE ARNOLD ON A COUNTRY ROAD  and aired on  THE WESTWOOD ONE RADIO NETWORK.  It is one one of the most popular and best loved country radio shows of all time.

It was a three hour weekly show with features, interviews, and fun along with the best country sounds ever.  

The three hour show comes on three lp's in excellent new condition especially having been aired over 29 years ago.  The show comes with its cue sheets in excellent condition and housed in an attractive album cover as seen in the listing picture.

Each week Lee played the best of contemporary country with songs arranged in specialty themes. 

 Most shows had a featured artist with multiple songs from that artist along with in depth interview segments.  

I have listed the featured artist and if you scroll through the pictured cue sheets you will see both the featured artist and the other artists presented.  Although the segments do not list the theme of that particular segment, for some it is obvious.  For the others, you will find out as you listen to this special program.

Please play it once to transfer it to mp3 or CD format so you can protect the rarity of this show.  There are so few left because most stations that aired them threw them away after broadcast since they could not be played again due to the time limited commercial content and the scarcity of space of most radio stations.  (Believe me I know all about that - I work at one!)

So there are likely very few left and most of those are in private collector collections

Note that many of these shows can be seen on ebay but without their cue sheets.  Unlike countdown shows where you can research what songs you are likely to hear through the broadcast date, there is no way to know what is on these shows without the cue sheets.  My shows all have their cue sheets in excellent condition as I have mentioned previously.

  I got this show as part of a library of over 1000 rare country lp radio shows from a private collector who knew radio station general managers and was able to acquire them directly from them.    Now they can be yours 

This show is #89-05 and aired on JANUARY 28, 1989    

THE SHOW WAS A SPECIAL ONE OF A KIND THREE HOUR TRIBUTE TO CHET ATKINS.  ALONG WITH CHET'S MUSIC YOU WILL HEAR ARTISTS THAT CHET WAS ASSOCIATED INCLUDING TWO WHOLE SETS WITH ELVIS PRESLEY AND MANY OF THE MOST FAMOUS ARTISTS HE PRODUCED AT RCA RECORDS.

Chester Burton "Chet" Atkins (June 20, 1924 – June 30, 2001) was an American musician, occasional vocalist, songwriter, and record producer, who along with Owen Bradley and Bob Ferguson, among others, created the country music style that came to be known as the Nashville sound, which expanded country music's appeal to adult pop music fans. He was primarily known as a guitarist. He also played the mandolin, fiddle, banjo, and ukulele.

Atkins' signature picking style was inspired by Merle Travis. Other major guitar influences were Django Reinhardt, George Barnes, Les Paul, and, later, Jerry Reed.[1] His distinctive picking style and musicianship brought him admirers inside and outside the country scene, both in the United States and abroad. Atkins spent most of his career at RCA Victor and produced records for the Browns, Hank Snow, Porter Wagoner, Norma Jean, Dolly Parton, Dottie West, Perry Como, Floyd Cramer, Elvis Presley, the Everly Brothers, Eddy Arnold, Don Gibson, Jim Reeves, Jerry Reed, Skeeter Davis, Waylon Jennings, and many others.

Among many honors, Atkins received 14 Grammy Awards and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. He also received nine Country Music Association awards for Instrumentalist of the Year. He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, and the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum.

SHOW CONTENTS CAN BE SEEN ON THE LISTING PICTURE       

             It is a great show with the one and only Lee Arnold who is a world wide known dj and did programs not only for Westwood One but for The US Army as a recruiting tool.        

     You will love this show and it belongs in your collection.   

     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
